£30K for a 3.4 996, doesn't matter what wheels it has in it it is way to expensive.

Looks lovely, wheels too. Don't know what they are, I wouldn't run anything other than a well known brand though.

its not a normal one though, 320 bhp upgrade, major service, new 19 tyres all round, white dials , red stitching on seats and dash, looks the nuts and i just checked pistonheads and price seems fare, beside you would get it for 29000

OK I just looked on pistonheads and I didnt see anything much better, maybe it is over priced

Sorry, another question.

There seem to be a lot of 996 C2 with aero/GT3 body kits for sale. Do these add value or should they be discounted. Are they considered to be "wanna-bee's" or attractive additions or do they actually improve the stability of the standard car?

Whatever they are they look a little more show than go eek and my guess would be that they are also rather lardy on the great scale of things...

Looks a nice example although a tad pricey confused, stick on some MKI GT3 or Turbo II's and it'll handle a whole lot better IMO.

They're part of the GT3 bodykit - although it seems some people don't like them so don't have them fitted.

Anyone that describes something to be both "very rare" and at the same time "unique" needs shooting if you ask me.

Whatever you spend on 'fiddling', it pushes the price down, not up. Most used punters want a clean, standard car and are nervous of anything unusual.
