Default New to me C2S...FINALLY!!

I have been in the market for a 911 for some time now. Initially I had a deal on a 2009 GTS but that deal fell through after the PPI results. I was pretty bummed but continued to look through the forums, CL, AT, Etc.

I finally found a 2013 911 S from a Rennlist member. I have never purchased a vehicle out of state and I was quite nervous about going forward with the purchase. The owner could not have been more helpful! I asked a million questions and he was completely patient and very helpful with the whole process, he even replaced the rear tires after the PPI to assure I would have a safe journey back to CA!! I could not have asked for a better owner to purchase my first out of state vehicle from. Once the vehicle was delivered it was exactly as he had described if not better! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience Armin!

Since I've had it in SoCal I decided to add my own little items to the vehicle. I got it back from Tag Motorsports today and I could not be happier with the job they did. I would highly recommend these guys if you are in the area: Here's what I added:

Ducktail
AWE switchpath exhaust
HRE FF01 IPA wheels
TechArt Lowering springs
Xpel Ultimate, hood, front fenders, mirror and front spoiler.

Here are some pics!

Congrats! Rennlist, what a great place.

Enjoy the new to you C2S!

Did you do a new rear badge and door graphics too? Great choice on the duck!

The rear badging was already done by the previous owner. I just added the door graphics...still undecided if I will leave them on...for now they will stay! Thanks again for all your help also!

Nice to see you customized it right away as well. Great job!

I like the white dials. No sunroof correct? I prefer the cleaner look. All the rubber gaskets in mine get to me. Only good for anti buffeting with it cracked open.
