Beautiful car, I’m jealous! I made a very good offer on a DOM 997TT at a dealer in Texas last year, but they wouldn’t budge on the price. They ended up sitting on it for another 4 months or so. I ended up having to settle for boring old Basalt Black

Thanks Nate2046!

Might've been the same car. I was after this particular car about 4 years ago and the dealer in St. Louis wouldn't budge. Car sold and surfaced again 2 years ago....and I missed it again. I bought it a few months ago from RAC in TX. Drove it home and have been enjoying it since. Have a few modifications ahead, but overall I'm pleased. I do love the Dark Olive Green. Though, you can't go wrong with nearly any 997...especially 'boring' basalt black!

Yep, same car. Funny, I followed it through those previous sales as well. I guess it’ll be ‘the one that got away’ for me. Glad to see you’re enjoying it and glad to see it here on RL! Keep posting updated pics, new wheels look great, btw.

Finally gave my 997 some love yesterday, in the form of 2 coats of Carpro Reload on top of the CQuartz. The car is a daily driver in the summer, and rarely stays clean because of all the dust and pollen. Hopefully the Reload will add some much-needed repellency!

My photo skills are questionable, as you can see from the crappy framing of the photo.

My 2007 C2S M6 in DOM w/ Beige Leather Interior...was warned most folks didn't care much for Green, I bought it because it was an amazing color that really should be called the Dark Olive Chameleon!
