Default Looking for a TX car to buy

Thought I found the perfect car in NY, but after posting here and in 6speedonline, I am rethinking a purchase out of state, especially 1500 miles away.

Does anyone know of a Polar/Artic Silver, standard black leather, 18" turbo twist wheel, white gauge, 6 speed with 20k to 40k mile car for sale in Texas?

I find cars that are very close, but I think I want to hold out for the perfect car.

Thanks in advance...B

I have an exceptional '02 996 TT currently 28,000 miles. Carrera White with the Savanna Beige all leather interior, white gages, 6 speed, partial wood interior trim. Northern Arizona, no issues, recently serviced and inspected by a first class shop A+. PM if interested in talking about this car. Private party.

If you live in Austin make sure you come out to the Cars and Coffee or Leander meets and introduce yourself when you get it. I have a midnight blue 996 Turbo and make it to most of the meets.

Mtnride, white is actually my choice for color, your car is stunning. I also like it with the cinnamon interior, but have to compromise with my wife who does not. Feel like silver is a good color for any german car since the Auto Union days.

We do C&C at the Oasis every second Sunday of the month at 10:00 - 1:00. There is usually a pretty decent turnout of Porsche guys. Is this your first Porsche? They're all friendly guys so if you want to ask questions before you get your car this is a good meet to go to.

Hi sinking, will be my second Porsche, first turbo.

Getting close on an 01, 29500 miles, with evoms stage 1. Car checked out at dealer but has leaking spoiler rams, window actuater rattling, horn problem, and needs tires. Owner is having everything fixed prior to sale but very fair price has been established.

Unfortunately, I am still on the sidelines.

If you know anyone looking to sell their car in TX, please let me know.

Ideal is Polar/Artic Silver

Black or Metropol Blue Interior

Under 30K miles

1st class condition

Mikes, Where did you see the car on 6 speed? I looked in the marketplace and didn't see what you were talking about. Thanks for replying to this

Pretty car and a great price but a bit more than I am looking for. I am hoping to find a mostly stock car, maybe with an ecu tune only
