I think you got best p-car money can buy on current market. Congrats.

I am right near Lookout Mt. N Phoenix.....T-bird and 7th are pretty close cross streets. I get over to Scottsdale frequently and make the cars and coffee at Gainey village every time I am in town on the 1st Saturday of each month.

Bummer. Not sure I want to invest in a car with accident history.
That explains why it has such a low asking price.

The dials should look like this except for the GTS logo on the tach which I don't think you get from the factory. These were bought from FVD. Btw....to the OP, this sounds like a great deal. How many miles on the car?

Was going to say the same thing. Sorry to hear about that for the OP, but $74k is out of market price range.

How do you come to that? There are only three 2011 GTS convertibles for sale by Porsche dealers nationwide as of 2 minutes ago. Prices range from 84,888 to 97,990.

Assuming the rear bumper hit was light with no frame damage and assuming the mileage on the car is not excessive I still say he got a great deal at 74K. My -09 C4S was rear ended and the local dealer said they might take $3K off normal trade-in value.

Exactly my point. Unless my reading comprehension has gone to hell I read this as the OP picked this car up for $74k. Which in my humble opinion, is below market for a no stories, clean 997 GTS.

+1 - I almost purchased this car but decided to try and find a GT3 instead. If the repair has been done well, I would have no problem paying 74k for that car. If you intend on turning it for a profit right away, probably not the right car. If you want to keep and enjoy, great deal.

I apologize. When I read "Sorry to hear about that for the OP, but $74k is out of market price range." I took it as if you thought he overpaid. The "Sorry" threw me off.
