Gas Passer

Well I am no longer the proud owner of '07 C2s. We are moving to seattle and see no reason to keep it and not drive it, hoping to walk to work or ride a bus versus the hour plus commute I currently endure. Gave the keys to a friend who has wanted a 911 since childhood. She was a great car, put 26K miles in 3 years and 4 days. My accord has loss more value over the same period with 50K miles. We are going to keep wife's Cayenne S, gotta keep a Porsche. Need to save a few bucks if we are going to buy in the more expensive market. Now I need to find a new home for my accord.

Hunt will be on for an air-cooled 911!

Don't worry too much.... I sold my 2009 C4S in summer of 2011 in order to buy our house. I didn't wait long replacing it with a CPO 2007 C2S in spring of 2012. You'll be back in a 911 before you know it!

Congrats on the move - Seattle area is a great place to live and raise a family.

Enjoy the move and the search for the air-cooled 911. I sold once for a move which was not fun.

Yes....you folks in North Carolina love the Tax Dollars. Although Washington is mostly a liberal Vote because of Seattle Gas Passer will certainly enjoy the pay increase because he will no longer participate in State Income Tax. Good for you Gas Passer!!! Cost of living may be higher.

Get out your ski's and hiking boots Gas Passer. Washington State is a fantastic State to live in. Plus, you can alway replace your car with a new Porsche later once you get settled.

Sorry for your loss.

Chris,
I am interested in your opinion concerning the differences from the 09 C4S and the 07 C2S.
Thanks

Enjoy the move. Its good that you found your car a new home. Now have your friend post here.

If I owned it I would for sure. I sat in this car last week, started it up....now a 993 is on my list. Nearly wrote a check right then but with a brand new Boss 302 i'm trying to be a responsible adult now

fskof

What is a responsible adult...lol

I have no idea, about to take the muscle car out now and be a hooligan (but in a responsible adult way lol )

Obviously the 997.2 cars are much faster, more than a 30-hp bump would seem. For me, I never thought the 997.1 was all that slow, so the bigger improvements in the 997.2 were in the switchgear and telematics. The updated look and feel of the PCM controls, window switches, etc. are miles ahead of the slightly rubbery, loose items in the 997.1. Also, the 997.2 was the first to get factory Bluetooth and satellite radio/iPod integration - and it's well-done IMO.

If you're shopping 997s, if you can get a .2 for slightly more than a .1, it's probably worth it. Keep in mind, the .2s are direct-injected, and this has caused issues with other cars (RS4s, etc.) with carbon build-up. When I was hunting for my latest 911, I wanted a specific color (Atlas Gray) and I wanted a minimum of options (manual trans, manual sport seats, etc.). The current 911 is the one I plan to have when I'm retired and enjoying Carmel...

Happy hunting!
