Default Looking for very clean 2005 turbo S Coupe

OK you may have seen my earlier posts about 996 values and 996 vs 997, based on driving a 996 Cab TT the other day I have pretty much decided that I want an 05 Turbo S Coupe. I would prefer white on red but I don't even know if that existed, so any color combo is fine.

I have looked around and there seem to just be the two Black on black coupes for sale. I may end up with one of those, but I want to see if there are any others that I have missed first.

Requirements: 05 TTS
Manual
Clean, very good interior, or at least the parts that are hard to change are very good condition.

Like:
Would rather a coupe and would rather a unique color (not black or red).

Thanks if anyone knows anything!

Yeah everything ive seen has been black red or silver, so I realize that is probably what I would get, just something I would like.

White seems to be a nice color.

I super wish I had just paid the $40 and called the seller direct. That car had 3 people trying to buy it today for full price. I guess lesson learned!

Exactly. The same guys who tell prospective buyers to throw the seller a insulting offer are the ones who are cutting their own throats.

Yeah. You might as well join PCA in case another TurboS comes up. However, I don't know why anyone would pay $40 for the Quest membership for six months, with limited benefits, when you can join PCA for an entire year for $46 with full benefits.

Besides, the magazine is pretty good, there are good technical articles on the webpage, you get invites to local events, and some dealers offer a discount that ranges from 5-15% on parts only, or parts and labor in some cases. Where I live, local events like auto crosses are also limited to PCA members and/or their family. The discounts depend on what part of the country you live in and to what extent your local dealer decides to participate.

I've saved several hundred $'s over the years (31 to be exact) being a PCA member.

Just an opinion, I'm not a rep for PCA.

Edit: Never mind what I wrote.

I just went back and read the requirements. You have to own a Porsche to join PCA. That sucks. BMW lets you join BMWCCA before you ever buy one.

Don't have to own a Porsche to join, it's called the quest program.
