Default It’s Mine! 2006 997

I’ve purchased my 3rd 911. To make things clear I don’t have 3 but this is my 3rd one. Spent a little more than I wanted but I got a low mile car (43k). So I am back alive!

wrecked and totaled my 964 back in 2013. Purchased a rough 996 in 2017 and was glad to get out of it about a month ago for break even number. Was gonna wait a year or so but couldn’t pass up this low mile, stock and un-molested 2006 C2.

Need to get my ride height settled ASAP. Wheels in the next year and exhaust to come. Then just drive and enjoy!

Started another thread and still trying to figure out my suspension plan. Budget is shot due to the fact I spent more than I really had to spend. But couldn’t pass up the sales price , PPI and mileage. But I am happy!

Very Nice! Good call on the ride height. The base does sit a bit higher. Many posts on exhaust for the 997. Congrats and Enjoy!

Very nice. Same spec as mine except mine is an '05 and also same mileage. Definitely get it lowered-here is mine on Eibachs pros, one of the best mods i made. Mind me asking what you paid as (you can PM me if more comfortable). Would be a good data point for me and others here as well, again

On Eibach pros for reference

Looks great, perfect color combo and the correct number of pedals. You are going to (actually you already have) love it more as time goes on. Mine is similar. For lowering, I am a super satisfied customer of the TechArt springs by Eibach.
Congrats!!

I currently live in South Texas and the car is in Colorado. Headed to be with my father in Reno next week for a surgery then off to Colorado to get the car and drive her home! So I actually don’t quite have it in my possession yet but will soon! Looking forward to a nice drive!

I picked it up for 30k. Based on what’s out there that I have seen with 42k miles, no accidents clean stock car I felt it was good price.

Yep, that's a good price. Congrats.

I have your wheels when you're ready. 19: forged Champion rs171s, fully polished

Silver car are the actual wheels I have for sale. Black car photos is what that style looks like in the regular silver painted finish on a black car, since that's what you bought.
