Tough to tell from the pic...the build sheet also shows 14-way seats, and there are clearly 18-ways in the listing, so maybe the build sheet is just wrong?? Not sure how common that is, haven't seen it much.

Looking a bit closer, although the pics are a bit fuzzy, the calipers look maybe a little too small to be PCCBs...

Seem to be a few more 991s around with calipers painted red or yellow, with ‘basic’ brakes under the beauty treatment...

Wow, $60k? For a sub 7,000 mile, nearly $150k build C2S? I looked on cars.com and didn't see anything comparable under $80k.

I'm with you, there's no way that car is selling for low 60's/high 50's, unless it has some serious issues on the Carfax. And maybe not even that low if it did.

raiders fan: I have a friend who might be interested in the car if you decide to pass on it. Send me a PM with the info if you can. Thanks

Picked up the car Saturday and drove it back to Raleigh, NC. Turns out the 2nd owner had Porsche install the PCCB's!! In addition, that owner thought that the 14 way was too restrictive and had them install the 18 way lumbar! The drive home was fantastic. It's been 4 years since I've been in a Porsche and I must say that the sport exhaust at full boar is quite a thing to behold. Thanks everyone for your feedback!!

Not sure what happened with my original post... Picked up 2014 C4S and was told the previous owner had Porsche install PCCBs and 18-way lumber. Drove the 7 hours home with zero problems. Two things I noticed, the sports exhaust at full boar is something to behold and if you hit the brakes with those PCCBs you better make sure nothing is in the back seat. Loving the car - thanks for your feedback.

Wow! That second owner sure invested a significant sum in that car. Retro-fitted 18-ways would not be cheap and I dread to think how much retro-fitting PCCBs would cost!

Great result for you!

Win-win - you get the benefit of PCCB's but the pricing Motorcars of GA used for the car surely just looked at VIN and original MSRP, so you didn't pay any more for them.

What would you guys think about buying a 911 from Shift.com?

I bought my car (2015 Carrera S Sport Design Edition, with 14way seats, PDCC,PDLS, LED lights, sport techno wheels, sports pasm, hard top sunroof) from them and the experience was great. Sure there is that fee but by the time it was said and done I still paid below the perceived market value was at the time. It was for sale at $79.9K 7/2017 with 23K miles. The best part is it was technically an owner to seller transaction so my warranty stayed in tact. I have already tried it with my nearby dealership and all good.

I would highly recommend them.

I bought my 997.2 which I had previously from Shift, and it was the best car buying experience I've ever had. I'd buy from them all day long if they had the cars I wanted to buy in the future!
