The one for sale on Autotrader?
Don't know it but too bling for me. My deposit has gone down on a low mileage unmodified gen 1.

I have kept an eye on all usual places & that has been about forever, just wondered if one about from a forum member , standard 997s dont do it at all for me

I should have stated my deposit is down on a 997.1 Turbo, sorry.

There seems to be a bit of a hang up on cars that have been modified a previous owner just in case it has been more ragged than normal! I guess maybe the best way to go about a purchase would be to buy an unmodified example, modify as you like, and keep the original bits to return the car to std ready for sale time.

I personally don't 'get' the whole bling bodywork scene - seems to cheapen the car in my mind. I do however understand those that swap the exhaust for something that sings and a sensible remap to free a few extra horses. My lovely 964 had a de-cat pipe and a cup pipe to replace the stock items and I loved the throaty 'tug boat' tune :-)

If its the black one with tinted headlights it's worth noting its owned by a rental company for performance vehicles e.g. its hired out for days/weeks at a time. I saw it at the local OPC when mine was in for some work, spoke with one of the engineers about it.
