I decided I didnt need the money that bad. Had an offer for 56k but just could not sell my car. Too much fun.

VERY happy to see you keeping her. Life is too short to be driving Chevys.

It's a beautiful example and obviously optioned very well and very tastefully. Great deal for the right buyer. Sorry you have to part with it.

Whoops! READ ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE OFFERING CONDOLENCES.

Glad you're keeping it!

Took the car for a long drive last night along A-1-A....had early Santana on the cd....top down...how could I ever have thought of selling this car? Im 60 years old and I need every fun filled experience I can get before it all goes south. Not to mention the stares from the young chicks pulling alongside of me at the light...yeah its a blast to drive this car.

Do what you have to do if you need the money, but this is a beautiful car with low miles that you can keep and cherish for a long time. 997's are destined to be classic cars. Good luck no matter what you intend to do!

Congrats...sold my artic silver 05 997.1 in March 09 back to the dealer cause I thought I needed the $$ and could put it to better use on other things. No wasn't going broke but just wasn't driving the car as much and it was fully paid for so I thought why do I have $50k sitting in my garage? Took $42k from the dealer for it and regretted it to this day. Am now paying on an 09 997S to make up for that mistake. Keeping your car is a good decision. Life is too short and the grass is not always greener if you know what I mean.

Enjoy it. It's a beautiful car!
