Pictures rarely show how great this color looks on a 911. It's a really nice color combo.
The Sport Chrono Plus option from Suncoast is worth the price. I think 1-2 hours labor to have it installed in my Cayman S PDK.
Enjoy the car.

My point is that 65K may be on the low side due to my circumstances. However, as the 991s become more readily available, 65K may be more realistic.

Thanks, I love the color!!! Had the Sports Chrono Plus installed last Friday and wow, what a difference. Ordered from Suncoast for 1195, no tax or shipping and then had the dealer install for $279. Well worth it. You basically get sports chrono plus w/o the clock.

It's a beauty. I have the identical "launch" car. From the beginning I noticed stains appearing on the front seats. Several months ago I brought them to the attention of my Porsche service person. After he spoke to the PCNA area rep. they decided to recover the seats. I was told that the problem was that the dye from the seats was bleeding through the ventilation holes. After waiting several months for the replacements from Germany, a set of black covers arrived instead of gray. Now Porsche tells me they have changed their minds and will not replace them.
Check your seats and let me know if you notice any stains. This problem is not unique to my car. There are similar reports on 09 and later ventilated seats on several websites.

I found mine on Manheim. Submitted a bid and the auction expired. It was listed at 68K (Buy it now). I contacted the dealer directly after the auction ran out. Went to the dealer, inspected the car, confirmed all orig paint, still under warranty, and purch for 65K.
My point is that 65K may be on the low side due to my circumstances. However, as the 991s become more readily available, 65K may be more realistic.

Manheim is a dealer auction site. You need to be a dealer or hook up with a small dealer who will give you access for a fee to buy through him. For me, I have a client that's a dealer and he was gratious enough to give me access and attempt to purchase through him at no cost. . . . Good luck.

Would prefer to steal it from a private seller!

NO WAY!!! I want heated seats/wheel, but I REALLY wanted a multifunction wheel! I thought the heating button was behind the lower spoke, so it wouldn't interfere with the multifunction...

I double checked and it appears I was wrong. I believe I mixed up the sport wheel with the MF wheel. Looks like there is an issue about weather or not the car already has heated seats and steering before upgrading to MF.

This is exactly what my thinking is...I figure it will take me 12-18 months to find the 997.2 C2/4S 6SP with the options I want (e.g. PASM, black/white with tan interior, ventilated/heated/full leather, navi, bose, etc.). I have a couple of dealer buddies that can help me access Manheim online, so I'm hoping the prices will come down closer to the mid-$50s or better in that time frame.
