It doesn't seem that cheap to me. Are the original wheels available with the car ?

If not you need to factor in a set of wheels, sort out the rear spoiler and so on.

This one appears to be newer, more original, lower miles, face-lift model and not much more expensive or am I missing something ?

Not yellow, grey interior with 997 seats in looks a bit odd.

Seats look great in the flesh tbh - much prefer them to the 996 seats

Apart from the glovebox . What changes are on a facelift model?

The 996 Turbo was unveilled in late 1999 for 2000 model year.

The 2001 models gained electric switches to open the front and rear lids, and improved interior illumination.

2002 models were the so-called facelift cars: glovebox, twin cup-holders, soft-touch plastics, better ventilation, Bose sound system, an auto-dim interior mirror and a rain sensor. Also, X50 power upgrade became an option.

Do those 997 seats have airbags? (can't see the pic clearly enough)

I have seen the car and driven it. It has had the rear silencer removed so sounds awesome. They have also upgraded the turbo wastegates so probably putting out more power than standard. Drives well if a little boomy under acceleration. But as a package I loved it, looking at possibly trading my 986 S for it. Bodywork gernerally good but with slkght chip on front spoiler.

Cheers.
Sorry for the thread creep.

No, still trying to get more for my Boxster, so at an impass at the moment.
