Dear Jaysus eagle 1960; that thing is beautiful! What a color combination.
As to current values, I think the low mark was set today, with a .1 gen, high miles, tip car. See Bat: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...gn=2018-02-12. Fairly bought in my view. Not much further to slide from that. I think the .2's may have a bit more to go down before bottom hits, but who knows? |
Well I am now the owner of a 997.2 that I flew to California to pick up over the weekend. I drive it 1700 miles home to Texas. Love the car. Even ran into a Porsche track event outside Deming New Mexico. Now it is time to figure out how to care for Sloan. Yes that is her name. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e9269d64e.jpeg |

Sloan had 72,000 miles. No accident although the front end had been prayed. Tack on another grand to have her inspected and fly to California to pick her up. Love it. It checked out just like the inspection and even the dealer said. There are a couple things that came up in the inspection, but they are minor. The washer pump motor doesn't work and the rear fog lights only light on the drivers side. Relatively minor issues that I will dig into to find out. |
Congrats on tree new ride!!!
The rear fog light is supposed to light on the driver's side only. Don't waste time on that. Most USA drivers have no idea what a rear fog is and most will figure you have electrical problems of you use it. Some have written that the washer pump motor (or lines) plug up if non Porsche fluid is used. Good luck, and enjoy. |
Woo-hoo! Good deal and getting to drive it back through the American Southwest was a bonus. Wayne Smith is right, the fog light is a weird German thing. Now you get to spend your free-time learning all kinds of weird 911 things.
|
Wayne, um I am one of those clueless Americans that had no idea what a rear fog light was and neither did I know that only the drivers side is the only one that should light. I am feeling pretty stupid about that.I do appreciate the info though.
|
The rule of thumb is that the rear fog light stays off if you can see two delineators ahead of you. Delineators are the metal posts with reflectors you see on many freeways. In England the other side lights up, since they drive on the other side of the road.
Likewise for European cars if you leave your turn signal on when you shut off the motor you will get a message that you left your parking lights on. You will also find that the turn signal light stays on ... to warn approaching cars on narrow streets that there is a car parked. Lots of things to learn 8) |

Absolutely. All my vehicles are named after characters from that movie. My all time favorite. |

How embarrassing that I spelled her name wrong. LOL. I will keep it without the “e” and we can keep that little secret between You and me. |
