I believe that is the flood salvage title car, no?

Doug H

Don't know. My apologies if it is. The one I recall was white or off white.

They even want you to pay tax in Cali if you buy it there but drive it home! Have to get it shipped to avoid that tax. Lame.

It is sad about the green Targa- I think it is quite lovely, and at a price point I could afford. Sigh.

Darkhorse

Me, too. I like the color and the new Targa is very appealing to me.

Scraping the bottom of barrel for deals based on pricing is best way to find the most expensive 911.

Look at the cars in person, cross shop, compare, and pay up for the nicest one in best condition. Most browsing classifieds for "deals" is pointless.

Man, these things look SO good in yellow!

Stripper 997.2 GTS 6MT, <15k miles.

Ending in 6hr!

I think this is a currently good deal. I mean prices for 997 cars are high, what can we do.

This one is in speed yellow (not the newer racing yellow) with black full leather. Has all the IMHO required extras like heated seats, Bose, and Xenons. Low miles. Manual.

Put some more exciting wheels and that's a good ride.

Full supple leather in a base is pretty rare thing to see. Also seems to have painted console and trim bits not listed on the build sheet.

Afraid of miles? Only you can decide. Might have service records to prove that parts were replaced with miles.

This is a 997.2 c4s, too bad that the color combo doesn't allow the stripe on the back to fully develop.

Full leather.

Overall pretty loaded with PDK+SC, heated + ventilated seats, audio options and even heated steering wheel. No PSE, though.

When that happens I always consider that it might be badly done paint, or even a vinyl wrap. This one looks decent, though. Nice car.
