I just want the sports chrono for the clock!

 

Hearing good things about the sports chrono clock being sold online in case you want to get that put in pretty easily yourself.

 

Basically you can just start a post with the header "Anyone in the XXX area" or something along those lines, requesting someone go have a look and maybe a test drive on your behalf. I did this for a fellow Rennlister a while back that was considering a 991.1 GTS that was for sale at a nearby Mclaren dealership. I just went and had a look, made sure there weren't any glaring problems, that the car was as-advertised, and took it for a quick spin. If anything hits your radar in the Denver area, let me know! You don't have to ask me twice to go test drive a 911.

Ahh, bummer. There doesn't seem to be a lot of 991.2 inventory at the moment, so they tend to go fast.

Sounds like you're in the Phoenix area. If that's the case, I would focus your search in AZ, NV, and SoCal. Never hurts to cast a wider net like you have, but desert cars are the best. Fewer rock chips, no salt or mag chloride exposure, low humidity, etc. My 997.1 was a one-owner car from Vegas, and my current 991.2 started life in Scottsdale and moved to Palm Springs before I took ownership of it.

CPO cars might bump up your price range a bit, but I'd swing by Porsche North Scottsdale and Chandler to let them know what you're in the market for. If you get to know a sales rep or two, they might be able to tip you off to a car coming in on trade before it hit's their website.

I know it sucks being on the outside looking in, but enjoy the hunt, and the right car will find you.
