Having recently celebrated my 60th birthday, I decided that I had been without a 911 too long. I traded in my 2009 911 S for a Cayenne S back in 2011 because I needed a boat hauler more than a sports car. I never regretted buying the Cayenne, because it's one of the best Porsches I've ever owner, but I have regretted letting go of the 997. I've been casually looking at 911's for a few years, but when the 60th started getting closer, the search got more intense. Last week, I was able to make a deal on a 2013 911 C2S that is almost perfect. It's hard enough looking for a car with full leather, but when you throw in the SportDesign fascia and duck tail, Chrono and PSE, the pickin's get very slim. The car was at a small dealership in VA that specializes in custom Jeeps and they took this car in as a trade. It was priced WAY too high, and probably never got the exposure it needed. Although, it did hit the RL HFS thread, but right in the middle of a heated PCCB discussion, so it went unnoticed. I credit the dealer for doing an outstanding job with photos and even a video.

MSRP was $146,000!! To quote Ron White, "She is L O A D E D!" Way more leather than even I would have speced.

I hope to have her in my driveway in ATL by this time tomorrow. Time to clean out the garage.



I'd post the build sheet if I could figure out how.

Truly stunning car. Congratulations!

Thanks! As far as I can tell the car only needs 2 things - TechArt Springs and a SportDesign steering wheel (which I just purchased from a fellow Rennlister who replaced his with a 991.2 wheel).

Very nice!! Very clean!

For a small dealership they did a nice video presentation.

What aftermarket Duck Tail is that??

thejazzman

It's not aftermarket. It's part of the OEM SportDesign package.

Very nice. What a special build.

I think I saw this car. Was it near Richmond? They were asking crazy money for it.

My Cayenne is black and my Boxster S was black, so I know the pain that goes with the beauty. I was actually looking for an Agate Gray, but when I saw this car I lost all sense of practicality.

thejazzman

Yes. That's the one. I just offered what I thought it was worth (thousands less than they were asking) and was surprised when the dealership owner wasn't offended, but was ready to make a deal.

Thanks! I'd loved to have found a 50th, but I had a limit on how much I was willing to spend on this toy. Your car is a beauty!

Congratulations!! A free breathing 911 is truly special, wishing you many happy miles ahead.

Getting ready to hit one of those milestone years myself and hopefully this will take the sting out of it !
