what is an 'early' 3.4 996?

This has been reduced from £9995 - I’ve absolutely nothing to do with the seller just been watching prices for a long time and think it’s prob one of the cheapest manual coupes I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s leggy, well used, but seems well maintained and ‘enthusiast’ owned.
If I could sell my Westfield I’d bin off the Focus daily and use this till it died.
Surely it would break for more? ?????

Your man maths are spot on!

Do it !

First sentence from the ad - the car is a manual

Ebay said:

I believe this is the last model before they changed to the not so desireable troublesome tiptronic.

Right, because that's the main issue at hand.......

How is that a 3.4 S? And a widebody? Something (other than the hideous wrap and body kit) is up...

Has anyone fitted a Momo steering wheel to their car? What's the big flat thick washer for? And where does the yellow resistor part plug in to?

The guide I found on youtubr goes off on a massive tangent about making a resistor which I dont think I need to do!

Wasn't there a Jade car for sale recently. Is this the same one now at friends green.

It is - you can see the reg in the video.

£3k profit in this assuming he bought the FB one at the advertised price. Once labour on the remedial work is taken into account (he says all four coffin arms, bump stops, A/C regas) you'd have to say it's pretty low margin all in.

I spoke via FB messenger with the gent who was selling the Jade car. Seems a genuine car and vendor. Bonnet sticker codes show Cypriot car originally, if that matters.
I doubt FGP would have paid anywhere near asking price

Ah so it's a C98 spec car then

That's a bold colour. I couldn't pull it off

Less time in UK = less rust so its probably a bonus
