Default Time to let go my favorite 911

I purchased this car little over two years ago, it is by far the best car I've ever driven. Since I bought it I rack up little over 2000 miles, mostly driven around the island of Oahu on nice sunny weeekends. I thought I would keep it for a while but lack of time to drive and heavy traffic around town, I tend to drive my C63 sedan more often or my beach car for outdoor activities. The car deserve someone who will drive it like it was meant to be. If I live in the mainland I would never let it go but trap on small island the car just sitting in the garage. Recently I purchased another house and spend most of my time renovating and hauling supplies, this car has been completely ignored. Wife getting irritated and she really want a Tesla SUV for our growing family. Sadly I have to put this car up for sale, i hope someone who love 997 platform and a rennlist memeber will appreciate this car.

Looks good. What's on the hood - carbon wrap?

Beautiful black on black with all the things buyers will pay a premium for (low miles, PCCB, 6sp manual). Your only issue is your location, as shipping will be substantial, but for the right buyer, I'm sure a deal can be reached.

​​​​​Lots of low mileage examples popping up lately. Not uncommon for people to put less than 3k/year on these. Makes the higher mileage owners like me say might as well drive my car into the ground, because nobody is going to want a higher mileage 997.1TT.

Put her on storage. Lifes needs changes. You will never find another car like that. Buy your wife a Tesla, keep the porsche. Win Win.

Thank you guys, deep inside me I hope no one gonna buy it and I have an excuse to keep the car. The hood has carbon wrap and wife Tesla schedule to arrive sometime in March. As for shipping, with the right offer I will help pay for that expenses.

Thank you bgrpph for clarification on the shipping cost, as I stated I am willing to help pay for shipping cost with the right offer.
Us Hawaiian feel cold whenever the temp dropped to low 70s, what do you expect when our daily average temp is low to mid 80s year round. We can't handle the cold well, LOL.....

Gotgolf,
You got a beautiful Turbo there. Please reconsider keeping it. But if it really needs to go, try contacting Ash at Porsche Hawaii. He can spread the word to his extensive clienteles. Someone may just take it out of your hand 👍🏻.

808c2s, Eric thank you brothers. I am really on the fence about selling the car, at this point I am about 50/50 to let it go. If I don't get my asking price, I definitely will keep it. If anyone of the rennlisters on 997/997TT forum want to buy it from me, for a limited time I will pay for shipping cost to CA.

Very nice ride! Did you want to part the Aerokit lip? How much? I'm local.
