I think it's okay but probably not as productive as starting a new thread with what you are looking for in the title. Probably get more eyeballs of sellers. This thread is for buyers or old farts with nothing better to do.

Like the color listed, but no pics to judge.
For me, the car has 40K miles so this isn't a garage queen for me. I 'm buying this car with these miles to drive daily.

Where's the seat heaters, seat ventilation, navigation?...... But I could deal without those options at $47K to $49K that's worth a hard look.

I bought a 997.2 here that was listed that way. Sometimes you avoid the hassle of tire kickers: people hanging out here tend to be up on accurate pricing and know a reasonably priced car when the see one. OTOH, if you want to price the car up in the stratosphere, you may get hammered by the comments!

This is exactly how I bought my '09 Turbo!

It's a very efficient way to find buyers without the hassle of a public ad, just like 'raidersfan' pointed out.

In any case, if anyone is interested in a 2-owner 997.2 C4S coupe/manual with <20k miles on it, shoot me a message. I am in CT. No stories. Looking for a fair offer but not in a rush. Third child arriving in the fall and I am thinking I need to simplify.
Nice! I would post the VIN and a couple of pics: see what happens! I sold my C4S on the board unsolicited the same way. Even when I bought my Club Coupe, it was unadvertised locally. I got a good price, and the seller got literally a zero hassle, one hour of work sale. That is worth a lot to some people.

Good luck! Look at it this way: there will always be another car, and you have something to look forward to! If it were truly a forever car, you wouldn't even think about selling it unless you simply did not have the option to keep it.

I snapped up Club Coupe after selling my .2 4S manual: it was just different! I paid more for a car with the same mileage that was 4 years older, sure, but it is a special car with great options and a bit more interesting to own. The color is one of the best I have seen on a 911. Had I still owned my 4S, I probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger on the Club, but it fell into my lap. Everything happens for a reason.

I just listed my 2012 C2S. Platinum Silver/black. 6MT. Unlike most that you will find on searches this one is actually a 997.2 and a manual.

https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1149188

I bought it from an enthusiast on Rennlist and I would like it to go to an enthusiast who will continue to care for it. Lots of DIY tools included. It is too nice to be driven like just another car.

Default Change ride height

Thoughts from the collective on cost to change springs, etc... to change the ride height on a 2010 c4s?

I only put this question in this forum because it's regarding a vehicle several posts up. It has instability because the ride height was adjusted by a previous owner and needs to be reset either to factory specs or somewhere else where the ride won't be impacted. While I'm at it there are some undisclosed issues with the air conditioning on the vehicle is well….. I'm trying to figure out what's the worst case scenario for both fixing the ride height and worst case on replacing the AC.
