Looked at Turbo today - whats a fair price and any comments - help -I'm novice in 911

This is would be my first 911 - I have 2 Cayenn TTs(08 is modified with all availiable bolt-ons) and some heavily modified AMGs

Must see! Car was $141,000 New + over $50,000 in upgrades.

Condition is not bad but not great - some worn leather and ocasional scuffs.

It's a secod owner - he knows nothing about mods on the car

Found previous owner ad on autotrader - same text pretty much - guy was asking $50K 3000 miles ago

When shifting gears whith car just siting there engine is off 2-3rd felt different/strange - not as positive

Was not able to take a car out for real test drive - it is currently not registred

Looking at the intercoolers through the side slits - looks like GT2 ICs - nothing is mentioned about ICs in the ad and owner does not know about them

Really liked REVO poket hlasher with 5 tunes availiable - how good are REVO tunes?

Drove it a bit around property - could not get enough road to get it past 3500 RPM and I did not wanted just drop clutch and do a hard launch- was not impressed with a pull - but I'm very used to Highly modified AMGs making as much as 1100 lbs of TQ at 2200 RPM

One stranger thing I noticed is if car just rolling and you disengauge clutch RPMs will come up to 1500-1700 for a couple of seconds - LWFW?

Another strange thing - ad specifies M25 Extreme Binder Laser/Jammer front and back but car has much more expencive and better Escort 9500Ci - I use them on all of my cars

Any opinion/ advices

What do you think car can do with KKK 24/26 - is it a good turbos?

I can take a car to a good Porsche shop for very detailed inspection including IC identification and turbo identification and a dyno but to spend money for it I need to be serious about car

How much dous this car worth in your opinion

I like a wheels nd they probably worth $3+K on the used market
Another considerations are Escort and a stereo - I would have actualy do exactly same thing to any 911 I would buy and this would cost me $4K or so

What else should be done to the car - ICs/maybe a fuel system and retune


Trying to have a car in 550-600 wph teritory with good drivability
Probably would go for some more suspention mods - GNG stuff - maybe for a better coilovers. Have Blistein PSS9 on my CLK 63 and I preffer KW v2s I have on my w210 E55s

I know in the Porsche world theri is many better setups

Primary use will be streets only
Thanks
Leon
