Default Recently purchased my first Porsche. 2002 996 C2 Polar Silver

Now I just have to wait until spring to enjoy it. Can't get here soon enough. Gonna be a long 2+ months.

Great forum. Lots of good info that helped me weigh the big decisions and know what to look for and ask for.

Polar silver is the coolest colour!
Cool thing about this colour is that sometimes it looks blue and sometimes it looks silver. depends on the cloud cover that day.
change out that side marker and it really looks sharp

Nice color, and adaptive sport seats as well. Just think, you now have 2 1/2 months to prep and mod the car before you start driving it....... Enjoy.

Looks great, welcome! But why wait until spring, get a set of snows and enjoy the car now. Great cold-weather car!

Default Here is a pic of the interior

Thanks for the posts. I dont have many pictures as the dealer is storing the car for me until spring. I'll post more pics when I get it home. For now I am driving my 2012 WRX which is a blast.

Been thinking about buying a 911 for a couple of years. Finally decided to pull the trigger last fall (with wifes permission of course) while driving with my dad. We saw two 911s during a short trip and both times he commented how nice they looked and wouldn't it be nice to drive one. I thought, not getting any younger. Do it.

Car has never seen a winter. I was able to track it to the original and only owner who took European delivery and confirmed back story the dealer had provided. PPI went well and CarFax was clean and indicated oil change/service each Spring and Fall. I plan to make this my daily driver during the warmer months.

Just had IMSB and RMS replaced. Checked clutch which is in good shape (car only has 31k miles on it). New brakes and rubber. Full service records. It also has M030(US) suspension. Should be good to go in the spring but going into it with my eyes wide open (stuff happens) thanks to the posts on this forum.

No mods which was exectly what I was looking for. Going to spend some time experiencing the car in its original state (IMS and RMS excepted) and see where it goes from there.
