I called them and it had an accident right front a few years ago. He was supposed to send me the carfax but it hasn't arrived yet. It's a great price no accident. Could still be a good car but I would want it looked at
EDIT: Just arrived here's the carfax .
that’s a lot of events. Wonder if some of the entries are dupes, if not owner #4 was not that good a driver. . .
Auto auction GTS. with low 11k miles. Nuf said, This thing may be a mess in person as well with overspray or paint blending issues. I didn't look at it before, but having looked at it this car is over priced. Mid to upper $60k car.

Yeah, it would have to go cheap. Cheap enough where someone just wants the GTS experience. That thing is going to sit for some time.
Love my gts4 aerokit but it's so low that it doesn't make the best winter driver. Not that it matters since it's stored. Wonder why it wasn't more popular? Adds the right amount of flash without being too overstated.
I guess overstated or not is in the eye of the beholder. I always thought the aerokit wing is just that....overstated. It doesn't flow with the rest of the body but disrupts it instead. Some have made reference to it as mounting a park bench on the rear decklid. If I had to choose a rear wing for my GTS I would look for either an OEM Turbo wing or something similar. I've seen some after market wings similar to the Turbo wing that actually looked pretty cool. What they all have in common is that they imo. do a better job blending in with the 911 body as opposed to disrupting it.
The fact that there aren't more aerokits out there may suggest that my opinion is shared by many others.

I like it...but everyone's different. I remember back when I was shopping for my 996 it seemed there were so many with Aerokit.

For sure. I guess that's what's good about Porsche. You could look at it as nickel and diming you to death or them allowing you to truly customize the car to your specific preferences.
For the record, I still look at it as more the latter given the cost of some of the options.
By the way, there is one fewer 997 GTS coupe on the planet as of Sunday. I took my new GT3 up Azusa Canyon / Highway 39 and when I was heading back down traffic was stopped. I finally got out of my car and asked a guy waking the opposite direction what happened. He said "A guy rolled a Porsche just like yours!". I walked down and sure enough. White 997.2 GTS upside down. Driver was unhurt. Such a shame about the car, but a good thing no one else got injured. Every weekend day there's something like this on that road. Out of respect for the driver, I'm not posting his car's picture
ouch. I'm sure his disappointment & pride were hurt (I say that only because you mention he did not get hurt,.. which is also a testament to the integrity of these cars too)
I wonder if it had to do with old date code tires,... or poor tread. I'm about to replace some tires on a couple of my cars,.... that still have some tread life, but are date coding out.
Hate to hear stories like this. Good to hear the driver was unhurt physically though. Emotionally, probably a different story. Also wonder how something like this unfolded on a public road. On the track, pushed to the limit by someone who probably shouldn't push it to limit, I can see it. On a public two lane road though, must have involved some unusual circumstances. These cars are like suction cups to the road so trying to figure out in my mind how it happened.
