Gotta love the PCA

I just had to share this story...

Just joined the PCA. Got my first issue of Spiel. After reading all the articles, I got to the For Sale section, where I found a posting for a used set of 996 headlights for sale from a fella that just upgraded to litronics. I jumped up and e-mailed him right away to see if they were still available.

Got him on the phone the next day, and was saddened to hear that his lights are the amber version - an early 2000 C4. I thanked him for entertaining me, but mentioned that I was searching for a used set with clear turns.

He then tells me that he believes his next door neighbor (who also owns a 996 - and also just did the Xenon swap) had the clear version, and that he'd go over to ask if he still has them - and if he would be interested in selling them. Next thing you know - I am meeting him at a Starbucks purchasing the lamps.

Asking price? $100!

One is perfect - one needs some polishing - but at a single C note I couldn't be happier.

Thanks PCA!
