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.
I'm so happy for you and to help. Sorry I started peppering your inbox while you were working out your deal, but if I saw something new you should know. The one you bought is the right one after I looked deeper at the others. I suggest doing Xplel all over the car if you do mountain driving. My whole car has it and it's a life saver. I think I might make a post in the forum about how it saved me thousands of dollars.

Anyway...congratulations. Wow.

You'll never know as all those posts were deleted. That happening should rub every member the wrong way. My post #17639, did not get enough traction.

I vividly remember him saying "it was me" as well

Wow he tried to flip it...What a sack of Fking ****. Proly sold the seats as well on top of the flip, what a soulless clown

Karma is coming for you bud, you cannot run from karma, it hunts you down very quickly

Please leave this forum, we don't like your kind

You guys are a bit harsh

mnawa did the same thing with a 997 turbo that someone posted in the 997 turbo forum. It’s always the same MO … act all enthusiastic about a car/model, nice folks post up good cars or deals, the fake enthusiast jumps on it first, then flips it shortly after.

There’s a bunch of speculators crawling all over rennlist … that’s the world we live in now unfortunately. Lots of people see these cars as nothing more than opportunities to make a quick buck.

for those genuinely interested, you need to act quickly and secure the goods if you want to have a shot.

I don't have a problem with Red9114me, unless he contacted Rennlist and had those threads removed. We've spoken online and he's actually a very nice person. If he flips cars, then so be it. Nothing wrong with that at all as buying and selling cars is a gamble some like to play. My only issue is with Rennlist and the deletion of some record keeping posts. We needed those posts to stay visible to be able to track that car. Now vanished from Ilko's amazing thread, that info will soon be forgotten.

Letter to Rennlist, put those posts back up. Don't do your members dirty.

I think anything short of him getting banned it not harsh enough.

This is an enthusiast forum, not a scalper forum.

Before anyone jumps the gun, and I'm not saying you're incorrect but, let me state that he was truly looking for an orange RS. He offered to buy mine so maybe his new orange car is a keeper for him. Had he asked to trade that white RS for my orange, I may have done it but I know that car had some restoration work done to it and my car is clean and still unrestored so it would have been tough decision. I don't hate my car, I just love the white ones.

Also want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving week. Please show much love for your families and know that every single one of you fools are blessed beyond belief. Get out, drive your cars, feed your families, have libations if you partake, then repeat!

You have a pumpkin?!?!? I want one soooo bad but I have a car addiction and I need to chill lol

Wait so he bought the black one....but also bought an orange one....and also tried to trade a white one to you? This sounds like a super scalper rofl

Happy thanksgiving!!!!

The member purchased the white one, which I was drooling over, which was then sold on BAT about 6 months later. He then purchased the Black one from Champion and a few weeks later, traded it in on the Orange car, which was Porsche of Orlando's, "Porsche Restoration Challenge" car. Didn't win but was an entry from what I understand. I'm going to assume it's a clean car.

I stated, "Had he asked to trade his white car for my orange car, it just might have happened". I would have liked that opportunity. I don't hate my orange car, I just love the white as I love to modify my cars and white is the easiest palette to work with. Can't do much with an orange car. I'm trying though.

@lawrence1 , I’m disappointed to see you accuse me of flipping the 997 turbo without knowing what I sold it for. I took a $10k+ loss on that one. I can provide proof if you’d like.

edit: for transparency I purchased the car for $115,899, paid $2,000 for enclosed shipping, spent a few thousand getting it sorted and wound up selling it to San Francisco Sports Cars for $110,000.
