Default 2005 Turbo S Coupe

SOLD I'm parting with the Turbo S that I've owned for the past three years. 38k miles, GT Silver Metallic, full leather interior, carefully maintained, not tracked or abused. Summer daily driver, stored in heated garage in winters. Third owner.
A few tasteful modifications:
interior: non smoker console and storage cubby to replace cd storage tray in center stack, alcantara treatment to steering wheel, shifter and boot, e brake, and center console storage cover.
mechanical: 997 short shift kit, Euro spec Porsche X73 racing suspension
Also has Kevin's UMW Stage 1 ECU flash (fully removable).

I'm asking $56,900 or reasonable offer

Thanks. Great car but moving on to something different. Forgot to mention the ceramic brakes (great, no dust) and the fact that I have replaced the chin spoiler with the black Turbo spoiler (those things don't last, especially with the car lowered to Euro spec).
Original price was over 140k.
Oh, and only 37k miles, not 38k (like that really matters)

With no offense, is driver side door resprayed? Last year I could not find a a GT silver Turbo S so ended up buying a 997 TT instead.

Beautiful car though?

No, not resprayed. I can see how you might have thought that in the picture, but no mismatch in real life

I keep thinking I want one of these, but it seems all the used ones under 50,000 miles are on their 3rd or 4th owner. I keep wondering why these cars are turned so often.....

People get bored and want to try something different nothing else? I personally don't keep any car longer than 1-2 years and there are many enthusiasts like me so as long as the car been taken care of, multiple owners be fine.

Yeah, I've been told that I have a short automotive attention span. So many cars, so little time!

Not only these cars. I'm the 3rd owner of my GT3. I bought it with a little over 2K miles, now at 48K. The prior two "owners" quickly discovered the car was too rough/edgy for them. I was told both traded the car back on a 996 Turbo, which I keep considering since I'd like a kinder/gentler car. (Which is why I even looked at this thread.) But just can't pull the trigger on trying to sell my car.

Think of all the PPIs these multi owner cars go through.. I would say there prob in better shape then most !..

I usually look for SEV 1 or 2 over revs..and then still.. these cars are built for that...

awesome deal for anyone looking for a TTS
