Nice car and and an interesting transaction!

I may have missed something but it appears that the dealer dropped of the '10 in Austin and then transferred your '08 back to So Cal. So how did you agree on a value for the trade-in without a dealer inspection?

Aqua Blue is quite nice--very similar to the slightly earlier Cobalt Blue. Grey interiors with that blue are a popular combination. You have what I have considered to be the best wheel still available for the 997--the XRR Carrera Sport wheel. It's to date the widest OEM wheel made for any "911" or "Carrera" Porsche at 8.5 Front and 11.5 rear.

I'd purchased the 08 C2S from this dealer less than a year ago, so they may have felt that they knew the car well enough. I was surprised when they didn't request pictures, but I did take several before the car was loaded to the carrier. I'd received a buy bid from a dealer in another state, and from a few dealers in Texas, so this was my basis for negotiation when they put their first number on it.

Thanks Edgy! The dark grey of the spokes on the XRR wheels does go really well with the metallic aqua blue. First mod may be the painted washer nozzles
