997s deals around the interwebz (no affiliation)
All the other subforums have a "hot deals" thread. Do you mind if I start one? I am trolling for a 997 to buy this winter. I would like you to ruin my imaginary perfect cars as I post them and maybe somebody spots something nice?
Really liking this 997.2 c2s except for the interior which is stone grey, and not full leather.

Is anybody familiar with this particular car? I spent most of yesterday in New Haven and could have easily gone seen this car, but alas I only spotted the ad today.

Thanks to a great Rennlister (I'll let him identify himself if he wants to), I found my car. I went to Seattle this weekend, bought it, and promptly drove it over 800 miles home with my dad. It was a great way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our first sportscar road trip, which happened hours after I bought my first Miata. This 997.2 C2S 6mt is beyond spectacular, the experience of purchasing the car was fantastic- I'm definitely satisfied. No, satisfied isn't the word- I'm ecstatic...

The two-tone with black is actually fine with me. I am also oogeling this black on black/grey 997.1 (2006) with full leather (tiptronic):

And a similar one just black on black:

Neither have the striking beauty of just the right kind of blue on your 997, though. Not to mention all the 997.2 upgrades not even counting the engine.

Car looks nice, good luck. I personally would have a body shop check out any car after a PPI.
When I was looking, I found a couple of nice cars. Clean car fax. Both had bodywork done at some point. I learned some of the work is hard to see. This is especially true when you are excited and emotional about the purchase. For me, I found it better to distance myself and let the guys who know check it out.

It is a matter of money I guess. Taking of the rear bumper takes 20 minutes max if you are slow. Front takes a bit longer.
There is no need for me if there are no obvious signs as not consistent gaps, no proper fit of hood, deck lid, marks of tape for cheap repairs ...
But if the repair has been executed properly it is unlikely you will see any marks from it when the bumpers are removed. If the car is from 2007 and you see labels from 2012 on the front radiators that might ring the bell.
My focus would be on the engine first, if that has been confirmed to be OK, I would let it check out on the lift and make a testdrive. If you are new to 997 I would take a very experienced 997 person with you who knows these cars in and out!
