Steve congrats on the Porsche 996 TT and good luck on the sale of the 32. I would recomend the 32 to any one as a well maintained and pampered car. AND it is certainly priced to sell!

Now give up the specs on the 996 TT. Could be a 450 hp stock Porsche with tons of after market goodies that could get it to 600 or even 700 hp.

Steve, you and I have been talking this up for a while, and I think you're making the right move.

For anyone interested in this car, I can speak for Steve first-hand in saying the car is immaculate. I have about 15-20 hi-res photos of his car and the paint is simply a stunner.

Also, you simply WILL NOT find a better man to do business with. Honest, forthcoming and fair.

This car is worth every penny of $17,000... and then some.

The 996 is going to be NUTS. Big plans...

He and I discussed this very briefly when he was in Houston. I completely agree, going to be awesome.

...I can also vouch that Steve is a stand up, straight forward guy. If you want a car that is already modified, highly modified...this is the way to go.

Wow Steve, I am seriously contemplating putting the crossfire up so I could get your green machine. Aside from mine having bigger tires, better exhaust (true duals), and a big wing, the slk is just a classier car. Its a tough call.

Steve, you're selling the paddle shifters now too? Would it be easier if I bought those and we just swapped steering wheels?

I need to call you about the other stuff, I think I know what I want, if you don't change my mind again... I'll try to get a hold of you tomorrow after work.

sorry matt theres about 6 hrs worth of work to get the entire kit removed from the car. the steering wheel is just 1/2 of the kit. so they go with the car. theres plenty of other stuff for you to get!

I wasn't listening well enough. For some reason I thought you were selling that stuff separately, not with the car. I got it now.

Someone is going to get a great deal on probably the best-condition SLK I have ever seen!

I will say this is one of the nicest, cleanest SLKs I've laid eyes on and with what's staying on the car, someone is going to be getting one heck of a gem.

Good luck with the sale Steve and don't be stranger when you get that Porsche.

That's ok Steve - I know it is short notice.

Well, it's not a done deal YET! I've got to go up and see for myself and 'get the feeling' so to speak.

But I have this feeling deep down inside I'm gonna be begging for a day off to fly back to Nashville in a few days....

If this car becomes mine, it won't just "stay in the family" - it may never leave my garage!
