Ruby Red is not my first choice of color but I do like it. Sand beige might be my least favorite 997 interior, very plain. What do you all think?

I also noticed this car. Since asking price is below market I would have to go and look at it in person and see what's up. After that do PPI. They are calling it Guards red but I agree it looks like Ruby. There was a car in Florida priced similar to this last year and I had another guy take a look at it for me. Even though the pics looked good he said the paint and interior were rough and advised that I pass. On the other hand it might check out and be a good deal.

One other unusual thing was they originally had a few quick cell phone snap shots posted and I thought the wheels were gold. They may have changed the wheels. Not that that is necessarily an issue but seemed strange. The pics were not at much of an angle and was hard to get a good look at them.

Is that a gold badge out back? I don't think I've ever seen that. Besides maybe changing that out and the steering wheel I think this is a really sharp car. More on the classic 911 side than the aggressive sport side. nice price.

$82k 2012, 13,000 miles -- his number is 716-863-6934
quite pricey indeed, especially when when 991 C4S's with power kits and lots of options are going for $85k

No way. For just a few more thousand, one is getting into a 2014 or 2015 Targa range or 997.2 turbo range. I came real close to getting this for the wife, but she did not like the color. I think it looks great with these wheels, SC, PSE and certified for only $87,5000. I have seen the C4S Targes in the upper $90ks for certified.

Same place also have this certified 2016 S with 10k miles for only $93K

Here a couple of 2015 GTSs for mid $90k.

Thanks! Very nice car, although that car is more than I would be willing to spend and also more than I think that car is worth. Also dont want a sand beige interior but that is just personal preference. Might consider a natural leather brown car but even that I am not sure on.

I think my issue is that at mid $70s you are competing with 997 Turbo's (even though I do want a PDK car). For $80k+ you are entering 997 GT3 territory and even higher mileage GT4 money. Both of those cars I think would be even better weekend cars than a GTS.

If his was in white, I would have likely pulled the trigger. The car also wasn't covered in a clear bra and the front was pretty chipped up which was the final straw for me. It would look clean from a few feet away but up close was a little beat up.

After looking at KBB, most GTS's should sell for mid $60's, I'm not sure why private parties and dealers think they can get mid to upper $70s. I'll keep my eyes open for a clean GTS but likely if it is, they will want over market value which I'm not paying for. If I were to pay close to $80k, I would spend a little more and buy a GT4.

It certainly will be a special buyer who picks this up. I personally love the color, but 99% of buyers will pass. There is a Macadamia brown GT3 for sale over on the forums now; it is stunning.
You called it! Looks like it was a 1 day sale. They didn't even get pictures posted. Salesperson I spoke to said they'd had 19 inquiries off the listing before lunch, got a deposit, car's done. Shed no tears for the dealer's unusual under-pricing of this one; the guy traded this car in on a new 991 Turbo S.

I’m thinking of selling my 2009 997.2 C4S. It’s a coupe in Basalt Black with Sand Beige Interior. It’s got sports chrono and it’s a six speed. Mileage is 42 k, and 30 and 40k service was done at Porsche of Tyson’s. Mods are x pipe with BMC filters and FVD tune. Also has Numeric shifter, and I have the cables but not installed yet. Also has navigation with XM and Bluetooth. I added the checkered Black and Tan coco mats. I have the OEM cover as well. When I list the price will be 55k, it’s on Max Care till 70k Miles or 22 more months which I think I can transfer. I’m on travel now so PM me if you have questions and I’ll gets pics by the 27th when I get back from X mas trip. Oh I did a new battery last year too. Tires and brakes have plenty of life left on them. Last time dealers in DC had a similar 997.2 C4S they listed it at 62k. It’s not a garage queen but I used a Griots orbital buffer and Meguiers mild cut polish and yellow wax last week and it came out great. I did not use the buffer on the bumper as to not get ESD to cook the front control module. That was done by hand. Two keys and all manuals and leather binder included.
