996TT low price... you know it?

Anyone know this car?

I went to check it out. It has:

CF hood (old style look w fitment a "bit" off)
Red lowering springs
Has Fabspeed intake (the kind where you see the filter)
Grey interior
Aluminim pedals
Feels like stock power.
Stock intercoolers.
Diverter valves seem stock
Exhaust stock (matte black painted tips)
It seems like it used to have a GT2 wingblade and someone accidently pressed the "down" button (or put a fuse back in) so when the hydraulics lowered it has nicked/cracked both rear lights symmetrical (the tips of some kind of GT2 style wingblade must have done this)

Car has lived in South LA and greater Fresno area according to carfax.

Don't know if this helps, but my turbo is a single owner and was bone stock when I got it and it's tail lights have half inch cracks on both sides in the same spot. It's not noticeable unless your looking for it and they don't leak.
But it did not have a gt2 add on wing (does now though. My misha gt2 add on wing covers the cracks perfectly. I just figured because it was so symmetrical that there must be a pin or mounting bracket in that spot and closing the lid too hard one to many times caused it to crack( I assume). Haven't bothered to replace them yet, maybe someday. My car also spent it's whole life in southern Cali. ( luck car)
Good luck finding your new toy

So it looks like you didn't buy it then Kai. That car was a huge risk.

I looked at the car for Kai, here's what I saw:
H&R drop springs
Fabspeed intake
Evoms pedals
clutch accumulator was bad
no jack and tools
incorrect battery (no connection for vent)
missing fasteners under front hood area
wrong size tires, 235/40-18 front and 275/30-18 rear
damaged front lip
bad fit on hood, looked like fiberglass to me.
yellowing headlights
several paint dings
no records, just the manual
dirty mats
broken clock adjustment peg
cheaply painted bezel rings
stained plastic in center console/dash area
flaking clear off calipers
bad fitting interior pass. side quater glass rubber
very cracked tailights
missing caps on rear spoiler hydralic rams
broken sunroof switch
leather was separating from the dash and door panels

The car drove ok. Smooth power delivery, stock, flash but there was a slight vibration wich worried me given the tire sizes and the clutch travel felt odd.

I'm sure youll find somethink Kai!
