Default First Post

Hello all, This is my first post to your community and I wanted to introduce myself and my new car. My wife gave me the two day Porsche Driving Experience for my 50th birthday. After that it took less than a month to purchase my first C2S Cabriolet!! She is a 2006 with 3195 miles on her when I bought her last Friday. She has 342 Heated Seats, 405 19" Carrera Classic Wheels, 431 Three Spoke Multi-function Wheel in Smooth Leather, 640 Sport Crono Package Plus, 670 Navigation Module for PCM, 680 BOSE Surround Sound, P15 electrically Adjustable Seats, XSC Porsche Crest Embossed on head restraints from the factory. The first owner added in December 2008 the Painted Crest Center Caps 955-044-600-10, Clear Marker Lights 997-631-033-01 & 034-01 and Alum. Look Center Console 997-044-800-40. Looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all and learning more about these fabulous automobiles.

BS

Porsche Marketing at it's finest

PDE (PSDS) is great!
Now sign-up for the MASTERS quickly before the price increase.
A whole lot more fun!!!

Take a Road Trip!!!
They are a great on the open road, why people don't go out and drive them is beyond me... 2006 with 3195 miles great score for you,

but that lack of miles makes me question why the original owner ever bought one in the first place.. what, to look at, to say you owned one.

Driving them is what fun is all about

Welcome, BS.
Beautiful car - and apparently a very nice "find." You're a lucky guy.
Also, bonus points for excellent use of option codes in your first post. Well done.

I second this advice. The SmartTop is a must-have for a cab. I got my guards red C2S Cab 14 months and 18,000 miles ago. Still love it like the day I bought it.

A clean, Red 997 looks soooo good going down the road. Good pick.

Beautiful car - all you need to add is the V1, "write me a ticket red" attacts attention.
