The ad is a bit misleading--"loaded" and "low miles." Not really. Since when is 30,000 miles low miles? I would not go for a 997 just because the price appears right. Don't buy a stripped car. Get something more substantial for hardly any more money, in the grand scheme of things.

fair enough. i think the "low miles" comment is defined by them as 4-5k/year.

the goal here is to find a base carrera, manual, good condition, fair pricing...

i LOVE how many sites and even individuals use this term when selling. um, have they seen the options list??? apparently not.

No way to get CPO on this one? it'd be nice to have on an '05. I paid only slightly more for an '05 about a year ago with CPO at the dealer and it had SPASM as an option. I do like this sport steering wheel on this one.

it's an independent seller - i can likely get a cpo up here locally for him but i'm primarily concerned with getting a good read on the quality of the car as opposed to anything else.

you can make up for a lot with price

What specifically are you asking somebody to look at? I do not have a paint meter and black is a little easier than some other colors to hide paint work.

Usually these cars at these types of places have been fluffed up for sale so to a layman they look good most of the time.

I am not that far from there but not sure what you want looked at?
