Default Bought a 997!

Gents,

I thought I'd let you know I got back into a P-car. Though I would have loved to keep the 964 as a hobby car I just don't have the space...or the money!

I'll get another one...right after I find the perfect Signal Green 997.2 GT3RS;-)

The 997 is a beautiful car but it's not a 964... What it is is a fun car that meets my other requirements at the moment.

Can't wait to find that perfect 964 WB C4 or Speedster though...

Sometimes I think I don't have the money for my 964 either, but somehow I don't see that qualifying me for 997 ownership! It's a beaut.

Congratulations!!!
That´s something that I would like to do sometime in the future but I will have to wait till they get cheaper...a 2005 plain Carrera 997 costs about 110/120K U$S here and that´s a lot of money

Congrats

I was wondering when that would come up... I would have kept it...I really would have;-) This one, however, is likely gone just as soon as I can swing a 3.8 GT3 RS.

It's a nice "car" if you know what I mean...

Congrats on the car...I bet it is a blast to drive.....must be a complete different animal to drive with the 997 being so much more refined...I would love to get a ride in a 997 one day.

Find one for sale at a dealer and take it for a spin. Easy as that!
