I have seen this car a couple of times. It is immaculate and really looks nice. And I think, priced right. I was considering trading my 06 997C2 but will prob keep my car and get the Cayenne GTS instead from this dealer.

Although I have never bought a car or had service done at Maplewood Imports, I have found they seem like a straight up organization. They have been very helpful to me as a newbie (used 996 C4S) with suggestions and such. Also promote some community stuff. Good guys. I have no association, blah, blah, blah. Just like that dealership.

Do you need someone in MN to look at it for you?
I guess is sounds like brquebral has seen it. Maybe that's enough.
I don't see it in the dealer's online inventory. Do they still have it?

Not familiar with the car, but very happy with Maplewood Imports (especially their service department).

Sorry. I assumed it was the blue turbo in the picture. Now I realize that pewter82 owns that one.

Kinda have the choice narrowed down to a New 10 C2 with 18" and comfort seats or this C4S with the stiff suspension and manual seats. Pretty much the same deal on both cars, C4S is a CPO with 5yrs left and the new with the 4yr. This car will be driven in any weather except snowfalls...I have my little Subaru for that.

are the other two 911s staying? If so, the 996 should make up for the power you will lose if you go for the C2... On the other hand, the C2 is likely to take the biggest hit in depreciation... Difficult choice. Especially if you try to use reason... Lean more on the emotional I say. Which color suits you better, drive them both, see which clicks better or if the difference is noticeable... Good luck!
