Nice looking car. 2 keys? That's worth 4 to $500.
Edit. Description states extra keys I would double check.
And they spelled enthusiast wrong.

I never read the marketing blurb so I didn't notice. Yep keys are there.
The only thing "wrong" with it is the ridiculous steering wheel. It may look pretty, but aluminum where I put my hands - really? Plan to address that post haste.

Spend the 1-2 k on the new Carrera Sport steering wheel. It's awesome.

Great minds think alike - that was the plan. $2k with airbag, but I took it into consideration when I made the offer. With any luck I'll be able to sell the old one and recoup some of the money. It's $2k retail without airbag! Someone out there must want it.

And you may not fully appreciate this Stef but the full leather option in YOUR (Yes - your) car is going to SMELL super awesome. There is nothing like a full Porsche leather interior. Enjoy.

Great looking car, congrats man. The 997-2 is really the way to go, if you've got the cash of course!

I agree about the Aluminum steering wheel. How about the carbon fiber option? Love the look.

Well, the delta between the '09 and various .1S wasn't that great - witness the car that started the thread. I got hooked on vented seats when I test drove a car for Zeus - thanks dude :-) , and obviously there are other improvements.

DME came back squeaky clean. 150 range 1 over revs, that's it.

The later wheels have less non leather, so that helps, but in the end I like all leather. Considered alcantara, but that seems to be a crapshoot. Good chance I'll be sweating more when driving a cab - I tend to be top down every minute I can - so that didn't bode well for alcantara longevity.

So we're working out the final details, he's gonna take my Z4 in trade. With any luck, this weekend...

Congrats! Love the Ruby Red. Agree with you on the steering wheel - looks kind of cool, but it would get very hot in the sun in a cab. Be more appealing in a coupe - shouldn't have any trouble selling it.

Let us know when you get it and what you think after delivery!!!

Nice choice. I have looked at that car several times at Intersport's website.

The red and tan is a great looking combination.

You are wlcm. W2funny... A simple favour as test driving a 911 sends you on the hunt... These cars are entoxicating

stefang

It is, but last time I checked the car had a black interior

crossing 'i's, dotting 't's. No wait... Anyhow, getting close!

Oh no, they've removed it from autotrader and their site - I can't look at it anymore

Soon enough you'll be able to sit in it and drive it!

Good luck with completing the transaction and looking forward to seeing the pictures posted here.
