997s deals around the interwebz (no affiliation)

As I said a while back before IMS became the focal point. . . Scoring was why I passed on that pristine 08 C2S white with aero kit, power kit, exhaust, full leather and loaded with 7k miles earlier this year. I was told by two Porsche techs whom I trust very much and have known and done business with since the 90s to go with DFI. Both, however, seemed a little more cautious about IMS than scoring FWIW, but both were pretty quick conversations without tremendous detail.

Here is my thread with some photos of the white 08 I passed on. It had 17k not 7k miles. Sparked quit a discussion. I really, really like that car . . . Bought a stupid 2017 M3 Competition Package instead of this white 997.1. I really, really don't think much of my M3 and am already trying to sale it . . .

How much did that white 08 sold for do you know? Yeah it was absolutely gorgeous. I like the aero kit minus the wing tail. I prefer the stock retractable tail.

I got into German cars after I got bored with everything else. Researched Mercedes and BMW and concluded BMW breaks down too often and expensive to fix, well they all are expensive to fix. Went and test drove quite a few MB & BMW's. BMW's are more responsive and fun to drive but the interior didn't excite me. MB by far has the best and most luxurious interior I've seen. Ended up getting a turbo MB and it is quite fun to drive. It was my gateway to German cars and now I want something even more fun and exciting to drive. Next logic step is a Porsche, been test driving 996 & 997.1 and absolutely love them! Haven't found the right one that checks all my ticks yet but I'm very hopeful. I'm not in a hurry and still researching as I go. Just can't wait until I have one in my garage!

Cabriolet anyone? S model with low miles, good price but not my cup of tea.

Are you willing to buy a car out of state? Ideally I'm trying to find one within 500 mile radius from me and I know this eliminate a lot of potentials out there. I just can't find myself forking out this much money buying a car site unseen. I'm also hesitant to fly out there in hopes that the car is what I want and drive it home. I guess this is why it's taking me so freaking long to find one...?
