@RAudi Driver Though very nice (and rare), the $20k folding buckets pushed the financial envelope too far, and I expected the sofa seats would be far more comfortable for multi-hour touring, and hoped for plenty of bolstering. I found them to be every bit of that on the drive home. Oh yeah, and figured way less complaining from my supportive wife when she's out with me....
im curious how much they want for the folding seats. I’ve been entertaining a pair since those 10k price days are over.
I love the folding buckets and have spent multiple road trips in them. My wife and I once spent an 18 hour day in them. Overall I find them pretty comfortable. Much more so than the newer fixed buckets.

Can confirm, we did 13 hours in them in one day and didn’t have the least bit of soreness or discomfort throughout. I find them to be more comfortable than the 14 ways I had on my 991, actually.
Alright guys,
I locked up the '07 gt3 from Auto Kennel two hours after it went live on their website 11/10. It's been a long, sleepless last week. One of my sons and I drove up to the Bay on Hwy 1 yesterday. Over the moon at finally, after being a 40-year motorsport enthusiast, reaching my endgame car. Paul at Auto Kennel was absolutely the best. Huge thanks to K @Upscale Audio and D @shrp , you guys helped timing to help make this dream come true. I've been primarily a lurker here for the last decade in this priceless community, finding countless useful bits for my 996.2 c2. In hindsight, there must have been a reason I just days before had passed on another gt3, and missed one other. This car checks all my boxes. That Mezger sound is unlike anything I've ever been behind the wheel (or between my legs) of. I bought it to drive it. It'll probably never be as pristine as it is now, though I'm real picky. No garage queen here. I'd never sat in (much less driven) a gt3, but knew this was it for me, and have been following that 997 market for years. Couldn't be happier.
Congrats! Beautiful, enjoy in great health with your son!
I had the buckets in my .1 GT3 and loved them. Installed the sofa's before the sale of the car and drove the car with the sofa's and thought, for street driving the sofa's rule the day. They are so comfortable and supportive for street and mild canyon driving.

Congrats!! Reading this reminds of exactly how I felt and acted just last week....got my "forever" car, a 997 Cobalt Blue.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving from the east Bay, Mike
yes @mikes70 ! Our stories to get to these cars seem very similar and you were about a week ahead of me, though you had a much longer road trip back home. Love the cobalt blue. I'm also in the East Bay. Sure we'll cross paths in the future!
Agree. Best deals at the moment: the black one I traded in to P.South Orlando and the orange one at zweck. 229 and 239 list prices respectively, both with low 2*k miles.

I know that one at Zweck has some pretty shoddy touch paint work on the rear hips. It's so bad, it would have to be removed and retouched up. Looks like the previous owner, Mark Starr, either did it himself or had someone do it. Whatever the case was, it appeared that someone purchased the tiny touch up paint bottle from Porsche and used the brush to apply it. If you're gonna touch up your paint you have to use one of these.
