Hey guys....

Long time lurker, thought I'd say hello now that I'm picking up my first Porsche today. Some of you guys may have seen it on ebay....though it wasn't on there for more than a few hours....it's an '03 Ruf 550 with Ruf coilovers/wheels/cage/steering wheel, Slate grey with black full leather and Nav. Plus it has a brand new GT2 bumper and intercoolers.

The price was right, and I can't wait to finally have a fast car that has TRACTION!

BTW...if anyone is interested in the leather wrapped Ruf minicage....PM me....it's coming out so i can move the seat back a bit....


Regards,

I'd say you picked one hell of a first porsche.

 

great car indeed.... High quality parts too

 

Nice...come hang out w/ the Houston crew.

 

Nice find! You're going to love it!

 

Wow, great buy!

Wish I saw it before you did.

 

i like your other cars too~ do you have a 10 car garage? i have 3. i had 4 cars until last year and i kept my daily driver outside in the snow....couldn't do it this year...

 

Thanks guys....looking forward to hanging out here, and with the Houston crew. My garage holds 6, at least until I get the lifts put in, and I have some storage space I've used in the past

I know other marques backwards and forwards, but I have a lot of learning to do about Porsches, esp the finer points of the 996.

I've never seen a Slate Grey car...only Seal Grey. Was this a rare color?

Anyone have a guess at what the leather wrapped Ruf cage might be worth?

 

Thanks! The car was actually at my buddy's shop for quite some time getting the GT2 bumper installed, so I've been considering it long before it was officially put on the market. It was on ebay for maybe 8 hours before I struck the deal. Got a great price, and can't wait to pick it up! Clear bra is going on now, and the cage is coming out. You can't have over a 32" inseam and be comfortable with that thing in there....

 

What shop?

Also, bring out that Ford GT and we will see how she fares on the Mexican Tollway

 

very nice.

 

Motorwerks.

Sounds good to me!

 

I don't know. Like 50 bucks. I'll come pick it up tonight. Can't wait to see your car.

Welcome to The 6.

 

Haha... $50, I was thinking $55

Very nice car! Honestly, a used Tequipment bar goes for about $700 so I'd estimate yours at $900+?

 

Nice first P-car. I would agree with taking out the bar. You will pick up space & helps with the old inseam.....Enjoy.
