I'm leaning towards CPO as this is my first 911. Although I am confident in my ability to wrench, I feel I need some time to study and learn this engine. A lot different than the M3's S54. Beautiful car snake.

I was going to post you a link to one at Manhattan Motorcars I was using as a general reference point. They had a beautiful Porsche Racing Green '09 Coupe with ~50Kmiles for $42K including CPO but it is no longer there and I just looked at it last night, and the night before and so on for about a week 
Dither and lose I guess.

I went from a 2008 E92 M3 to a 997.2. I'm really happy with the change. I do miss a few things about the M3 - nice beefy steering wheel, and the fantastic engine intake sounds. Overall the 997.2 feels faster and more nimble. Glad I made the move.

It is interesting that there are very few Blue 997.2 non Vert Ss out there, well at least right now. Was interested in a Ruby Red 2010 with 25,000 but someone else closer to the dealership beat me to it. I really love the midnight blue metallic. The search continues...

Lotta lotta lotta verts out there. Must be the season... They are really nice but looking for that 997.2 S coupe 6mt midnight blue metallic, with under 30,000 miles. Enjoying the hunt and learning as I go.

I agree that the stock wheels feel wimpy in your hands but there are plenty of inexpensive fixes for that where you can keep the stock core. Here's one I had built for the -09 C4S. One of the best mods for these cars imo.

So how did you do this? What is the cost? Looks great.

Agree it's one of the best mods, best bang for the buck for sure.
