If you can't see belting, you're still good.

I asked for a discount at Discount since the kid checking the car out didn't need to spend time measuring tread depth.

I'm pretty stoked with the even wear.

Yes, the wear is perfect. Perfectly complete!

Is that a hooked X in the tire? If so, those tires were made by the Knights Templar.

Really nice wear! Stock suspension?

Nope - previous owner included the suspension in his quest to spend as much money as possible on a 996. Near as I can tell, he spent $15-20K transmogrifying his '99 C4 into a GT3. Every once in a while I find yet another hidden upgrade, like the Turbo Mike (now IPD) plenum I found while replacing the starter.
All of that work, and he didn't change ANYTHING in the interior. 100% stock. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck tracking down the P.O. - I'd send him a fruit basket. Or a gift certificate for his hooker of choice.
