I would not go through the sale. It sounds like he is the kind of person that will tell you anything to get the sale. Also 31k for a 99 does not sound like that good of a deal. Keep in mind even though you find the value for the mods he did, in the real world that still does not increase the true book value of his car. I was in the same position last year, I was going to buy a 996 since market was really soft and in doing my research the 99's were not a very good year. If I remember correctly there were many with new engine because of the porous issues they had with the engine casing etc... So I'm still waiting and now I'm casually looking for an 03 or newer.
If I were buying a 996, the only model year I would be leery of would be a '99. From all reports, these have been the most troublesome. Doesn't sound like the best deal either. Good luck
