yes thnx.

Hey has anyone else noticed their access changed in PORS9? .. I have an account, but can no longer access the pulldown menu choice "Vehicle Data" to see Production Numbers, Exterior, etc etc.

If you haven't logged-in for a while,... can you guys log into your accounts & check it out?

Maybe now they are promoting, for access to that data, we now need to upgrade to "P9 Basic" or higher (paid access)?

I seem to still be able to access the "Vehicle Search" option to request a report (although I did not execute one to test)

sorry to hijack the thread with this,... but thought many of you are users.

Super nice. Love the silver wheels. How often are you driving it?

During the winter none. Rest of the year probably 3000 miles per year. Done Smokies trips in it and local driving whenever the spirit moves me

Do it. It’s a no brainer. I paid around the same for my car with 11K miles in the beginning of the year. Fresh CPO gives me the piece of mind to drive her how she’s suppose to be driven. It’s my 4th 997.2 in six years - started with a manual GTS coupe, followed by two manual 997.2TT coupes... Trust me when I tell you there is NOTHING like an RS. Absolutely nothing. I will never sell the car unless an opportunity for a 4.0 considerably below market presents itself.

Just extremely little history. It started off in PA, then exported up to PEI Canada and then finally out west here.

On examination, the paint is 96% with the exception of a couple of small chips on the driver's door edge and the checker-board decals having some rash, then a weird small tear on the inside outer vertical bolster of the driver's seat, and a Napa battery with dust and crap in the battery compartment. No sign of cut carpet in the back to indicate a track cage instal. Everything is fixable...

DMI is 100%

Paint thicknesses check out as per factory

Blows a bit of oil smoke on start up typically of some of these.

On a good-spirited "test drive" (more like a spirited ROMP) it drivers superbly. It's a ripper.

That's pretty much it. They'll put a new OME battery in it, new set of PS4's (need those for a bit of rain we have here), fix the seat, and give it a 2-year CPO.

I'm afraid it's got itself worked into my soul...

I have yet to see anyone going against this deal. And I ain’t about to change that. Like others have said, you buy it and worry not. I’ve driven 4K miles on mine since July. Wish I could have driven more. I am also a new owner and will never sell.

With the.CPO I don’t see a lot of downside.

Do it.
