Beautiful car, my gosh. Some interesting nuggets in the service records:
- "Check Traqmate operation ok" - any reason someone would have this other than tracking the car?
- "Sublet: COBB Dyno Tuning"
- "Install GUARD limited slip differential, GT Limited Slip Differential W/ New Carrier, Install lightweight flywheel and clutch kit"
- "Tire destroyed from driving on while flat. Tire will need to be replaced" - "Car stalled 5 or 6 times on the way over. " "Customer states traction control light is on. Warning not currently illuminated, most likely came on due to driving with RF tire flat." - so basically someone just let it sit on old tires and battery died but then just tried to drive it in for service? I'm not a paragon of perfect treatment of my cars but that's painful

Also, the Broad Arrow auction write-up says this Aqua is one of 16 out of 657 for the United States.
Back when I had access to the PORS9 database, I captured a different quantity ... 15 ... and that 15 was for all of North America, not just the US.
Pls correct me if I am wrong (& point to the source please) ...
Qty 11 in 2010, and another 4 in 2011 = 15 ... and that Qty 15 was for all of North America. US got 14 of them.
Of the North America Qty 15, 5 of them were ordered with PCCB's,.. so 10 came with Iron Brakes.
I don't know the breakout of how many US verses Canada got the PCCB's, verses Iron.

tbh just giving the benefit of the doubt I wonder if the owner passed away and their next of kin just had no idea what to do with the car. I can’t imagine someone who is at least enough of a car person to be doing Cobb tuning on it trying to drive it in for service with a flat tire and stalling constantly

I think this Aqua car is gorgeous and will go well north of the estimates. Wonder what kind of auction fees? Looks like quite a bit of negative camber up front so probably a track car, but, who cares? Need the DME. I budget 5-10% of purchase price for maintenance needed on nearly every Porsche I buy. I think that would go a long way toward making this one really nice.

07 997.1 listed maybe today/yesterday:
$155k (seems fair, especially given recent sale on BAT)
VIN: WP0AC29987S792972
27k miles
link: https://www.themarkmotors.com/vehicl...tx-id-53868215
CarFax is clean accident wise but messy geographically (7 “owners”, multiple dealers taking title of car, listings all over the country often in rapid succession). Some discussion of this early in thread (speculation on carpet looking rough and badges being off) so curious if anyone has intel.
