Default New Purchase - 09 997 Aqua Blue C2S Cab

Had to clear out my 3rd car garage again.

After selling my 06 C2 Manual six months ago (which I bought for 43K and sold for 37K 3 years later), I picked up an 09 997 C2S Cab PDK. I was specifically looking for an Aqua Blue and am thrilled with my purchase. I purchased it as a 1-owner w/24K miles on it (not CPO), all orig paint, still under warranty, Bose, Sat, BT, etc. (no Nav or Sports Chrono) but at this price, beggars can't be choosers. I paid 65K here in So Cal. Unless I'm mistaken, I belive this was one of the original package launch cars for the 997.2Cab.

I'm planning on enhancing the Bose a bit by adding a separate amp for the sub. Looking forward to having some more fun. I will hard-wire my Passport 9500ix that I pulled from my old P. Who knows what else is in store.

I'm in love all over again!!!

That is one pretty color!

How many miles were on your '06?

Beautiful car and color! What are your initial thoughts on going from manual to PDK? Thinking about it myself.

Love the color. Love the car.
I hope your transition from manual to PDK is a painless as mine was. It's was easy.

Beautiful car!

100% agree - need to add this from Suncoast asap. Really makes a big difference with PDK.

Not a difficult transition especially since I was without the manual for about six months. Im a manual transmission guy but I do love the PDK. Out of habit, I looked for a shifter for the first couple of days. Now, I'm good. And the biggest benefit is that the wifey can drive it home when I happen to have a few drinks. In other words, I can take it out even though we may be heading to a part, etc.

I'm definitely interested in this. How much do dealers charge to install? And for an 09 PDK, is there a sport and sport plus button?

Yes, you do. If you go to the Suncoast link and read the description, it talks about the Sport Plus button.
