Lost my mind and picked up a 996. - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

LOL you guys kill me. Moral of the story ride the subway and start stealing backpacks!!! haha

Wasn't too paranoid on the T, but my mind did start to think while I was on the T, this may be a setup for the too good to be true price.

Sorry not going with that on the headlights.

I would like to get litronics, which look really clean, but they go for $1000 used, fuck that!

swiftdrift · 06-07-2010, 01:13 PM

I think he meant he had that much in cash... not how much he actually paid for it. If i'm wrong. He could have maybe transferred the rest of the money through bank accounts or something...

Or did you actually pay that little for it?? O_o

0100 · 06-07-2010, 01:16 PM

It went for what was in my bag.

axiomatik · 06-07-2010, 02:15 PM

wow, nice find and nice price. Every once in a while I browse for 911s, but I'm looking for older ones, a 964 or the previous generation.

Matej · 06-07-2010, 02:23 PM

Very nice find.
Not to be the guy to tell you what to do to your new car, but may I recommend putting some kind of a wing on it?
The 996 has always looked a bit goofy wingless, although that is just to me personally.

KetchUp4u · 06-07-2010, 02:23 PM

bumpp for a deal i seen the price which was a steal of a deal gl on your car

g6civcx · 06-07-2010, 03:34 PM

ZilviaKid · 06-07-2010, 03:42 PM

930 turbo or bust!

KiLLeR2001 · 06-07-2010, 03:43 PM

I'd flip this around and sell for $20k. Then wait for the deal of a lifetime $20k 997 is up for sale

SimpleS14 · 06-07-2010, 07:28 PM

Congrats on the buy..you must have had some loot stashed somewhere cause my bank was hard pressed to NOT give me 10K cash when I tired to make a withdraw.

That LS1 swap looks very interesting.

sw20>>s14 · 06-07-2010, 07:35 PM

what a fuckin steal...i bet the adrenaline and rush of the whole experience/process of picking up this car was more exciting than the car will be...very nice grab!

HyperTek · 06-07-2010, 07:42 PM

i think the gt3 aero looks pretty good on these

Seriously though, this is something that won't loose its value for a LONG time, so if you ever decide to sell it, it will be nothing but profit lol.

...unless, of course, you do literally flip it lol.

iwishiwas-all* · 06-07-2010, 08:56 PM

10, 900 for a 996? wow, i would have taken out a loan as quick as possible for that shit. that is a crack deal, what did the carfax look like? im surprised its not half a car.

ronmcdon · 06-07-2010, 08:59 PM

Very convincing reason to save $$$

Great deal, awesome buy, & have fun with the car!

Fuck that is stupid insane cheap. Yes I would not have passed it up at that price either. LOL I mentioned steal at 20k or slightly less.

What you did was like the great train robbery. LOL

Oh and I would probably flip it for profit. Then Buy a 993. LOL

Yeah, that is the mkI gt3 aero which I actually like better than the mkII gt3 aero. I really like that look a lot. There is also rear spats that came on the mkI gt3's that is not on that white car. I was thinking about doing the 997 conversion front bumper, but I don't think it looks right unless you go the whole 9 yards (fenders, lights, etc)

I had the money saved up, but in my bank account. They weren't too happy about me showing up first thing in the AM withdrawing large amounts of cash.

In a few years I really think I will end up doing a LSx swap. The GT3 comes with a third radiator that can be added to the 996 also. Not sure if that would be enough cooling though. I would like to see renegade come out with a 996/LSx kit soon.

It has a wing, just doesn't show up till 75mph.

Right off the bat I wanted to order a wing, I like the gt3 mkI wing, gt3 mkII wing, and monster gt3 supercup wing. To be honest though, the wingless rear is growing on me.

I really should, and have thought about that, but it's really hard to do when it's sitting in your driveway. It's one of the funnest cars I have driven.

There was probably 100+ people ready to buy the car that morning. If I had to get a loan, or even wait till later in the morning, it would have been gone.

Carfax was perfect. If it had an accident on the history I would not have bought it.

I can't watch that video at work, but I am pretty sure I have seen it before. I wish I got a gt3 for this cheap. All the gt3 suspension stuff bolts right on though!

Haha yeah I still can't believe it. I should flip it but really like it. It's a blast to drive. Like mentioned above by Dignity, I don't think I can loose even if I sell in a few years.

ronmcdon · 06-08-2010, 12:50 AM

No way, don't flip it.
Please treasure it.
This is something you can keep for years to come.
That's what I'd do anyways.

K_style · 06-08-2010, 01:14 AM

"Deal of the Year" or something
