Default Good bye 996

I have been offered a good deal hard to pass by. I traded the 2013 M5 and the 996 C2 for a 997.2 PDK Turbo.

I loved the 996, but always worried about needing to replace this or that. The M5 was a great car but my expectations were a bit higher.

The 997.2 Turbo is just unreal!

oops sorry!

2011 Turbo

220 - Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
250 - Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
342 - Multi-stage Heating System for Front Seats
345 - Heated Steering Wheel
421 - 19" 911 Turbo II Wheel
437 - Comfort Seat
619 - Bluetooth Interface for Mobile Phone
640 - Sport Chrono Package Turbo Including Dynamic Engine Mounting
686 - XM® Radio
810 - Floor Mats in Interior Color
870 - Universal Audio Interface
982 - Soft Ruffled Leather on Seats
9Q - Meteor Grey Metallic
AT - Black Full Leather
XME - Rear Section of Center Console in Exterior Color

Picked it up with 5,000 miles on it, so I actually consider it like a new car. I think I had a very good deal. It was 106,000 for the car, even though I have seen similar cars go for way more money. 1 previous owner.

Thank you all for the warm comments! I really had a blast with everyone here on the 996 forum! Ill post more pictures when this rain goes away and I get some proper pictures.

Quick note, this car goes so fast! In sports plus the shift between 1st and 2nd is just so violent I gave whip lash to my passengers, and it managed to spin the wheels even though it is all wheel drive! I am very happy on my decision to trade my M5, because even though it is a lovely car and I did European Delivery on it and etc, I could not find any pleasure driving the car. On a day like today, the rain would constantly keep the back end looking for grip even under normal driving. The turbo on the other hand, just a gem of a car!!!
