Default Where to find a .1 4S?

Hey guys!

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I don’t spend too much time in this section but do need some guidance if possible.

I have been causally keeping a pulse on the 997.1 market for some time and as I get closer to being able to achieve my dream of Porsche ownership, I am noticing not too many hit the market. I am mostly checking the Rennlist Marketplace a few times a week. I did recently discover theparking-cars.com but it seems most all low mile examples are in Canada... which could be an option?

Any advice is greatly appreciated


Cheers

Avery

This is probably the best forum around for all kinds of advice and information on P-cars but in my opinion, the Rennlist marketplace is not the best place to find the car you're looking for or selling the car you want to get rid of for that matter. Try these instead:

https://finder.porsche.com/us/en_US/

https://www.autotrader.com/

https://www.cars.com/for-sale/search...=SEARCH_BY_URL

https://www.cargurus.com/

https://bringatrailer.com/auctions/

https://www.carmax.com/

not sure if you are still looking for one but I saw one when I was buying my 997.1 c2 last week at Barnaba Autosport (porsche specific indy). The car was in great shape.

And there goes the rest of my day setting up alerts at all the sites I didn't know to be looking at for cars I shouldn't buy...

That's a very nice car. A lot of tan but nice for sure.

Question, I've heard higher risk of bore scoring for the 997.1 S models. Is that risk high enough to stay away or not?
