Remove the back seats bottoms and backs, gives you a few extra inches of clearance to put the seat in place, plus you don't have to worry about imprints or damage from your car seat. Takes maybe ~15-20 mins to remove, and you can easily put back a few years later when they are older.

Where there is a will, there is a way. I appreciate the ideas. I felt like my bubble burst yesterday when I test fit our car seat, but this gives me some hope. The dealership did say they had an out of towner that planned to put a deposit on the car today, so we'll see if its sold by tomorrow.

I’ve been Porsche-less for a while now.
This seems well priced to me. What do you think?

Good options and mileage. If it wasn’t for the stop sale, I feel you could get into a CPO for about that or just a little more though.

I am new to Rennlist and have been without a 911 for a few years now. Last experience was a 2008 997.1 cab.

For some reason, I want a Targa. I found this one in Boca, but it has been on the lot for 4.5 months at an independent dealer. Dark Blue with with two tone tan/black.

Any thoughts on why it has sat for so long?

I know I am biased but you would love it - hardly anyone with one regretted their purchase. If you like the colors and 14 ways (vice 18 ways) are ok with you make them an offer. Sometimes people are reluctant to spend $100k plus for a Porsche at a non-Porsche dealer. If it checks out you will be fine.

Nice looking car. Might be lacking some options people are looking for. Seen a carfax?

The color combo is actually what I am looking to find.
100% it needs an inspection. I have not met many independent dealers that I would trust as far as I could throw them.

Do you have any thoughts on offer price point? Seems like something between 95k-100k should do it, but I can't find that this car or one like it moved through Manheim recently on MMR.

Nice looking car - a little light on the options and it is not an "S" which I believe most Targas are. Those reasons may have kept it from selling. I think your price point guess is right on target. If everything checks out you will love the Targa!!!

Is this information that's just regurgitated over and over or is there any proof to this?

I keep seeing "cabs sell for much less than coupes" "cabs are slow sellers" yet since starting to look for cabs only I don't see this to be true in any way.

Thats a classy color combo on a beautiful car.

911s are scarce generally, targas more so if not the most. I recall reading somewhere that there are even fewer targas produced than turbos. I would guess that there are more coupes produced than convertibles.

The Coupe versus convertible debate is as old as time. Purchase whatever you prefer for whatever your reasons are and you're right!

I think the Targa is the coolest 911 by far

I believe when I looked at this car it had damage from a collision.
Of course it might be not a big deal if the damage was all cosmetic, but either way it does bring the price down. I wouldn't consider this HFS at this price considering the damage
