Default Where Else Can I Shop?

Lost this car today by one hour 😟 https://www.parkplaceltd.com/used-ca...CB29987S777058

I’m struggling to find anything else like it. I’m looking on autotrader, cars.com, cargurus, ebay, rennlist, 6speed, even carmax.

Anywhere else I should be shopping? Thanks!

Wow - that's a lot of car for 37k. But I think good news for you on the whole in meeting your budget and goals. Don't worry - another will come along. I think I missed out 5-6 times when I first bought a 997. It was frustrating but I can assure you the car I ended up with is way better than any of the ones I missed out on.

To help ensure your success - have real money (both deposit and purchase price) totally available and shop/buy locally. Cash buyers will always beat out "I've got to sell my corvette and get my bank to approve my loan" guys.

Locally - you have many advantages; you can see and inspect the car, drive the car, no slippage costs (flight, shipping, driving 2-3 days or however that manifests) and know the seller. Don't be impatient, you're 35 years old or whatever and waited this long - what's another 35 days or 35 weeks? Wait for the right car, the right seller and the right situation. Be willing to make a few compromises and then pounce when you find the right deal.

Before there was the PDK to poop on, people had the Tiptronic to insult. These insults have never been heard by the PDK or Tiptronic guys because it's nearly impossible to hear someone ranting when they are behind you.

https://www.motortrend.com/news/2007-porsche-911-turbo/

'While we wait, tapping our toes in anticipation of the PDK, Tiptronic is probably the next best thing. And hold on, you stammering gear-stirring addicts out there: Herr Achleitner himself acknowledges that the five-speed automatic is quicker than the six-speed manual. Further, its prescience in selecting the correct gear is downright creepy.

True, the manual version we sampled makes for a better interactive experience, but the new, shorter-throw shifter has a smidge heavier effort and absorbs a chunk of brain bandwidth that could otherwise be directed to, well--is that really a patch of ice up ahead we're closing in on at 130 mph, or just our imaginations? As editor-in-chief MacKenzie notes, the Tiptronic makes the 911 Turbo the world's singular 24/7 exotic."

Not enough people utilize carfax's car sale function. I have found some gems through there.

May have missed it among all the options posted already but a nationwide search of all Porsche dealerships may produce something: https://finder.porsche.com/us/en_US/
