Great. Another Racing Yellow here! Car has been for sale for a while. Has a super build too! The $$ was great too. Maybe you did even better.
Can't wait I hear the story. Looking forward to the HFS Alumni post.

You scored a very nice 997 Turbo.... PCCB's and all! What color is that exterior?
Care to share purchase price just as a benchmark against what we are seeing nicer 991.1 S and GTS going for? I know it's a bit tacky to talk about price paid, but this is a price/dealz thread after all :-)
It's Cream White

A good comeback or response to the booster! One of your funny pics or gifs. You seem self conscious. How tall are you?? Ha ha.

Oh no, the Lime Gold C2S popped back up on CARMAX. Still treading water at $73k, but it's in Irvine, CA now.
The thing about carmax is that you can 'hold' a car at the click of a mouse button with zero obligation, or have it shipped a few states away or across the country for a modest fee, so cars seem to toggle between available/unavailable quite a bit.
In Colorado, you can ship in any AWD car from any other carmax and they waive the non-refundable transport fee... I'm sure its not really intended for AWD Porsches, but you can bring in a Turbo, C4, C4S from anywhere to check out with no cost.

And the most ridiculous post of the day goes to ....
Attachment 1145472
At that rate, 997's will be going for $20K then!

Guys,
In a couple of weeks I am planning to sell my 2014 991 C4S. Arizona car, always garaged.
PDK, Sport design steering wheel, power steering plus, Moonroof,Sports Chrono, Park assist, Bi-Xenon headlights, smoking package, Sports exhaust,PDCC, Platinum wheels, Aerokit Cup, Bose, Premium Package, 18 way seats.
I have also installed the Passport 9500 with rear view integrated read out, and a front/rear dash cam. CPO until 11/8/2019. Dealer has also installed a center radiator to keep the car nice and cool during the hot summers, upgraded my rotors to girodiscs and have yellow pagids. Expel front, side and rear quarters.
I have done 3 PCA sponsored track days which were absolutely a blast. Planned to do more and purchased a set of track tires/wheels but have not had much time and now it is time to go overseas. I have to sell it.
Question: should I market the car as a track ready car and include the track tires/wheels or would that scare buyers away?
Also, do you think $79 k is a good price?
WP0AB2A94ES120838.
34,500 miles
Thanks

It's pretty rare that buyers view a tracked car as a plus, unless it's a pro shop built race car. Three PCA DE events really isn't all that much track time, including dedicated wheels and tires perhaps implies more. In short, no, don't bundle the wheels. You might want to put on better street pads than the Pagid Yellows as well. Still have the oem pads in decent shape?

With those miles, and other factors we know, $79K might be a bit aggressive.

BTW, thanks for running this thread. Invaluable, fun, and very helpful to buyers, "lookers", and sellers!
