I would NOT buy that car purely because an auction suggests you have limited time to make up your mind. So go out and kick the tires, look at a few cars and DRIVE them. There are many good 2002-2004 966T rotating through right now. No need to hurry up. As others have said.... get a PPI, view the repair and maintenance invoices, talk with the owner(s). Make it a fun project before you pull the trigger. After market add-ons / mods have basically no value. Only certain OEM options bring a little more money for the seller. To a certain extent, YOU THE BUYER, determine what options you must have and what you can do without but the X50 ($17K) and Factory Aerokit ($7K) are definitely nice to have. Take your time!! Good luck!!
More food for thought, the fact that is an X50 is irrelevant now as the turbos, exhaust, etc are modded on the car you posted. Also the X50 is really not worth the premium from what I can discern (assuming you are looking at modified 996 cars only).

1. Last person to do a PPI is a Porsche dealer.
2. Robert was at EVOMS, no? https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ert-evoms.html
3. He never said the car was not repainted.
I can tell you personally- ard's word- that to the best of my knowledge that car was never tracked, and the paint is good.

Thanks! Can't wait to tear into it! Have a few cosmetic mods planned! I am going to drive to Tempe and trailer it home ASAP! I hate waiting around for transports and I never trust those guys 100%.
