Default Finally! The "one"!

After months of looking, finally stumbled on this one this morning on Autotrader and pounced with my deposit. 9900 miles, being fully CPO'd by Porsche dealer, one owner. DME report shows 11 revs in Stage one only, nothing else. Not getting the Sport Chrono I wanted but full leather and Sport seats will help to offset that.

I'm going to have a restless night- just a little too excited

congrats! I couldn't find the right car with sport chrono so I just paid the 1k or so to have the sport functions added after. I'm not a fan of the chronograph on the dash besides, so it worked out.

Thanks for the comments. Very cool about the Sport function being available without the stopwatch... I'll check it out.

Similar build sheet to mine! Don't have the wart and don't miss it. Looks like a great find and love those wheels!

Beautiful and well optioned. Only thing missing from my wish list is vented seats. No wart no big deal. Enjoy!

I've got the full leather interior in my 997.1. I's probably not one of the most desirable options to most people, but I really like. It would an important option for me if I bought another 911.

I like the idea of vented seats very much- especially in SoCal, however they're not available in the Sport seats at all. The other thing that makes me not regret the missing ventilation is all of the ventilation holes in the leather- I've seen too many examples in the comfort seats with ventilation where the coloring had become uneven due to the insides of the holes becoming stained with liquids or clogged with conditioners. Also, I would be obsessed of the durability of very perforated ventilated leather vs. the durability of the standard stuff. There may not be any difference in durability but that's where my head is at.
