few details:

- car fully wrapped with PPF. Every part, including lights... that is a reflection in the PPF

- this used to be a Porsche GM car, it’s a $170k MSRP. Basically a kitchen sink car

100% : I feel that not everyday will find a Targa perfect for me. Chances of me building a Targa to spec are Zero, I like the initial depreciation on a perfectly spaced Targa for me.

Taycan: hard to fight the temptation of newest toy on the block. But we know, Audi batteries will be replaced with solid state batteries, and it is true I can configure a taycan anytime I want in the future ...

it is very likely that I let go of the 997.2 ... ( will be hard ) ... and simply extend the model s for a year ... or simply return it.

for reference, since the pandemic: the Tesla been sitting out collecting pollen while I drive the 993 and 997.2 .... for me as a corporate executive this will continue well into December. So no rush on a sedan.

You guys truly helping clear my mind on what to do here. Thanks!

wanted to circle back with this group and share that the eagle landed on this deal!!

windup driving both, this and the taycan. It was a straight forward decision without hesitation for me. targa 4S!

I sold my 997.2 C4S, bittersweet but was a great first 911 and getting a big upgrade.

thanks again for the help!

Hard to argue with getting a Miami Blue Targa! If you want to add a little bling to your interior send me a PM as I have a few extra items in Miami Blue.

My bad...Miami appears to change in different lighting. And I do not think you would want to put Miami inside your color!
