Issues were with M60s and early M52s in the mid 90s. The high sulfur content in low quality gas in some parts of the US (and a few other markets) ate the Nikasil liners.

I usually don’t have any interest in these but this one seems to have the right “look”. The right wheels, color, stance etc....

Not that I needed another reason to procrastinate about selling my car, it seems to be what I do best, maybe I should wait one more year.

This late December articale I just found from hagerty seems to think so.

Damn.... It's my car...
Almost anyway.
This one is a 2005 S, mine is a 2006 'regular' Carrera.
Wheels are different too - but, overall - real close.

Pretty car if I do say so myself.

FYI - The current bid price is already well over what I paid for mine.
This one has 81k, mine had 85k as I recall (when I got it a few years back).
Just shows BaT is the place to sell a car if you are able.

2005 Carrera S

I still wont sell there. Some guys are on there JUST to pick your car apart and never bid. They are that bored.
