Hello All,

After years of saving and research I finally purchased my dream car. I look forward to reading and learning from all of you.

Warranty started 5 days after my 48th Birthday
Looks like a nice car - Full leather is very nice
Is it 6 speed manual? Miles?
Enjoy!

Thank you! I’m trying not to rack up to miles too fast. For this color and options is on the higher end compared to others in the market. Acquired this one for mid 40.

Pretty much the same as my 2005 C2.. except I don't have the Porsche crest in the headrest, and the fact that I have 3x your mileage on mine

Nice buy Peter. I tell this to all newcomers. Get your maintenance up to date, both time and mileage. If you don't have a receipt for it, it needs to be done.

Also, check your tire expiration dates on all 4 - many old low mileage cars have tires way out of date.

Congrats. Seems like a fair price given the mileage, 6 speed, and how hard it is to find a white one with a black interior. Enjoy.

Thanks for the advice. Maintenance and tires are on my to do list.

Thank you! This color combo required some patience and willingness to pay the premium.

Very nice and I think you're right. White with black interior are rare. Most of the white ones have the sand/beige interior. As for premium paid, I don't know what to make of that anymore. Low mile, well cared for 997's, both .1 and .2 seem to hold up well price wise and may be close to the bottom of the depreciation curve.
