My first Porsche is a 2004 C2 base with MT that I would have kept if SO had approved. I wanted a cab and a newer car without any IMSB cloud hanging on. So I skipped 997’s and purchased a 2012.5 Carrera S Cabriolet found in Scottsdale AZ. Looked for a MT but could not find the combination of options and color I wanted. Only had the car for a couple of weeks with limited driving, but what a fantastic car. Attached a few photos and the build sheet.



In AZ to close deal. No time to drive it back so shipped to Bham.




Home at last.

 

Congrats on great find!. Nice car. Enjoy it.

 

did you get a good deal? it's a beauty enjoy it in good health and weather

 

Eautiful car, almost a twin to mine! Maybe a fraternal twin?

Enjoy in good health!

 

Great find. Congratulations and good luck with it! Good option package on it.

and you couldn’t trade her for the Porsche? I would take any option off the table.

 

Highyo "did you get a good deal?"
I think I did @64K

jnolan: "and you couldn’t trade her for the Porsche? "
she is a 1946 model in great condition with me for 48 years. That trumps even a Porsche.

 

Your car looks brand new. Very nice!

 

Looks new! Congrats..How many miles on her?

 

kmk0303 - One previous owner who actually drove it for 42K which I'm sure influenced the price - makes it a "high mileage" Porsche

 

Congratulations! Sounds like a good deal, and 42,000 is no miles at all. I recently moved from Birmingham- if you are looking for an Indy shop Eurasian in Southside is the best in Birmingham.

 

Sounds like you got a great deal on a beautiful car.

PS. I love the anti-door-ding device on the support beam in your garage.

 

I wondered if anyone would comment. That is for my wife who requested the bubble wrap for her new Lexus.

 

Seriously, it makes sense and is functional. I have dark grey foam strip with a magnetic strip glued to the back of it running along a section of my wall of cabinets/drawers where my 991's passenger door opens up to in order to make sure my youngest doesn't slam the car door into it (metal on metal). I put a the magnetic strip on the back of the foam so I could pull it off and put it on easily when I need access to those drawers/cabinets (I purposely made them my "once in a blue moon tool" drawers though)

 

Totally agree. I plan on putting several hundred thousand on my 2018 911. I'm already at 6k now. These cars are meant to be driven. It keeps them healthy.

 

WOW!
