Does anyone know anything about this dealership? Is it different from The Auto Toy Store? I see two websites and they look similar. I'm interested in a GT3 Rs green 997 convertible that is for sale.

Also is anyone close by that could check it out for me or have a recommendation for a place for a pre purchase inspection?
Thanks

That car is a Carrera S Cabriolet. Porsche doesn't make a convertible GT3/RS.

I believe he was referring to the special color - not the car itself.

Caveat emptor. That's all I'll say.

Yes it is the color that I'm referring to.

Nice car. A couple of comments:

- From the build sheet, those are not the original wheels.

- $70K is alot to pay for a 997.1 C2S. You could get a gen 2 model (maybe with slightly higher miles) for that price.

That said, it has some great options (full leather, adaptive sport seats, PSE), low miles, and the non-metallic PTS color is striking. If it speaks to you and checks out, it looks great.

That cab looks great! If the PPI looks good, and there is no strong dealer reason to run away, I would gobble that green machine like an M&M candy. Yes the price is steep, but it is a unique car with a great build. You should be able to negotiate some $k off the price, but I paid $67k last year for my 2008 PTS coupe with 8.5k miles with a nice build. A premium but well worth it if you want a truly unique 911. Of course some on this board probably think I am crazy!

I love the Nordic Gold!

Other than the obvious inconvenience and cost of adding another key, is there an ulterior motive for posting that hit nikon?

It IS a great question on any used car purchase. If they don't have the second key, ask for $500 off. I'm getting a second key and and its a hassle. Still searching for a place to cut my blank.

Two comments:
- substantially overpriced for a 997.1 cab, even with low mileage.
- color. Think about resale.

Good luck!

I want both keys with the car, if possible. Usually a dealer trade in or private sale will have both keys. A car that has been purchased at an auction often is missing a key. That isn't a bad thing, just something to consider.

Two cars: One is 1 owner, all records, books, keys, receipts.
The other is 1 key, no books or maintenance performed, bought at auction, on a lot.

A new Porsche key is a $500 nick, for sure.
