These are nice and draw big money from what I’ve seen....when they’re not a scam. There was one that popped up a few times last year that was scam.

I ran across one of those recently and never even knew they existed. The color is stunning in person, I immediately was on Google trying to figure out if it was a PTS because I'd never even seen a photo of a 997 in such a unique blue.

Asking $79k for that car is crazy. That's lower-mileage GTS money. It's nothing more that has a power kit, sports seats, PTS, full leather, and some other goodies. It's still a 997.1 with 57k miles. Max I'd pay would be $65k. But I wouldn't buy it period. It is a beautiful color and a stunning car. But you have to be real about this stuff. For $75K you can get that 2011 C4S mentioned above from Toy Barn. It has 18k miles. Granted it's a PDK but jeeze.

Porsche is so good about coming up with special models that they doll up and make "limited production" at a greatly inflated price. It's like Panerai. Every watch is a "Limited Production" to 500 or 1000 pieces. They limit it to what they can sell.

Something else that would concern me. Find out who owns it now. It was purchased by a 3rd owner and a new registration was issued 11/16/20. It was then put up for sale by Dick Barbour 12/25/20 so it was either a private party that owned it 30 days and decided to sell it after a month, or it was Dick Barbour that issued a registration to the dealership 11/16??? Dosn't make sense to me.

I feel this way about them too. Quite frankly, most Porsches are 'limited' production because of how they are configured. If you have an interesting color combo with some funky options, you might have a much more 'rare' car by default of few similarly spec'd cars out there. These Club Coupes, while pretty, are nothing more than a regular 'S' with options selected by Porsche and made in a batch.

I fail to see the significance and this car has a nominal premium for me over a regular one. Of course to a collector who is looking for 'all the pieces' for their collection, will be happy to pay more for one. As soon as the miles pile up, it's not a collector piece anymore.

Don't mean to take a poop on these cars, they're great, I just don't see the value in my eyes.

Asking $79k is crazy??

I don't think so...

Wow. 3k miles & aero but still....... not cray-cray

This might be a good opportunity for someone to get into a 997.1 for under $25k.

Base 06 triple black C2 Cab w/ 132k miles. . . based on the interior photos, it looks like it has been driven but well taken care of. More diligence required, but worth at least checking out if your looking for a 997 and haven't had the budget for it. . .

Hi folks. . .

This car has been for sale for quite a while and I'm curious as to your impression regarding why it hasn't sold yet.

Asking $54.9k for 09 6MT C4S Cab Black over Red interior w/ 49k miles - https://www.grandprimotors.com/used/...a3c8f70b4a.htm

Build Sheet - https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0CB29929S755222/

Is the issue the asking price or is it something else (red interior)?

First noticed over the summer and didn't expect it to still be on the market at this point. so curious on the group's thoughts as to why this is. . .

I suspect it is the red interior and the damage report on the car fax. Perhaps the seller is not flexible as well.

2 different accidents reported on that car fax. That’s what’s keeping people away.

Looks like Grand Prix Motors has had it for almost a year - very peculiar.

I think the red (full red) interior hurts it. Plus, to my eyes, the interior condition seems pretty worn looking, especially for a 49k mile car. The cab top looks most of the way shot to me.

This car has bounced around quite a bit over its life - California, Minnesota, Florida, Wisconsin, now it's in Portland. 4 owners. Landed at a Kia dealership at one point and was sold.

As others have pointed out, the damage report (I think it was a single event - just on the CarFax report in duplication) doesn't help.

The current selling dealer maintains a good inventory of used 911's. Could be this one being visually challenged hasn't been able to show well being situated around nicer inventory.

Given the condition/appearance issues - the price is hurting it as well.

I have an absolute hate on for red interiors and Porsch's is particularly ugly. 997 for me, it's black or nothing. Stone grey is taxi cab grey, beige is just brutal and red offensive. Don't start me on blue.

Ironman88

Dark Natural Gray is close to black (dark anthracite color perhaps). What I like about it over a black interior is that you have a dark gray carpet rather than black. To me it's nicer than a "sea of black" - but that's just me and I'm prejudiced (because that's what I have...)

Yeah that looks really good but i've never seen it!!

Helios

What makes you say that? I genuinely read that as two separate but similar incidents.

It shows minor damage to the rear in both, but they're more than 3 months apart on the carfax report, and it states neither was shown until two different days in 2017.
