Default First Porsche - Targa 4s 997.2

After a few years with toes on the edge of the diving board, the right car showed up at the right time and I took the plunge.

About a month ago, I got a text from my patient and friendly dealer saying "that Targa traded in today..." This lovely, 2 owner 09 4S with just 29k miles followed me home the next day and in between unsettled Rocky Mountain spring weather days, I've put my first 1000 miles on it now - with pretty much a non-stop grin the whole time. Loving this car and very much looking forward to when the canyons clean up a little bit so we can enjoy a trip on the Peak to Peak soon!


Clean and bright



Thinking about black stone guards!

Congrats. Good 997.2s last about three days at a dealer. Ones in DC are putting them in showrooms now and not out on the lot.

Congrats! Targas are my favorite. I bought a 2007 Targa 4S in Guards Red back in February. Post some interior pics!

Awesome ride, congrats. I’m diggin’ the red S which really pops against the white. Enjoy every mile in this beast - there’s just something about the wide stance of a 4S that makes it special.... And the 4S is absolutely awesome in the winter with a set of snows, so don’t be afraid to drive it like you stole it year round

Congrats! Welcome to the Targa 4S club.

A beauty. Not many of those built so aside from the pleasure of owning and driving it you probably have a car that will hold its value fairly well if taken care of too. Nice find.
