Carrara White .2 RS with 12k miles and graphics delete. Price is $340k. Needs a new carpet trim piece as the holes from the roll bar are still there. Has the same M and M exhaust, but not sure if the suspension is still modified a bit. The black accents (lipstick, mirrors, and wing end plates) aren’t factory as they would’ve been red. Though I really like the way the exterior of the car is now.

Market has changed a bit, that botched repair on the underside of the car. I don't think it brakes 180k.

I had a 997 GTS manual. There is absolutely no comparison to a GT3. It’s not a midway point between a Carrera S and a GT3, as many on the internet profess. If the Carrera is a 1 and the GT3 is a 10, then the GTS is a 2, maybe 3. Not even close to 5.
I really liked that car but never pretended it approached a GT3 by any stretch of the imagination. GTS is rare due to being RWD and wide body, but that doesn’t translate into much additional driving enjoyment. It is a great daily though, and the back seats come in handy in a pinch if you have kids.

Yeah I wouldn't pretend to assume it's a halfway point either. I sure do want one in a hypothetical dream garage though because I personally think it may be the best looking water cooled 911 they've produced.

Just retrofit the rear seats in 7.1 GT3, done.

GTS is a better alternative in cab form.

cant argue with that. Wide body and no wing makes for a sweet looking ***.

Sorry, clicked the wrong button, meant to reply to the post about the slate grey 997.1 at AutoKennel, sold very quickly. The car seemed borderline collector-level, but hope it sold to someone who will drive it

It didn’t last long.

I was in touch with Lupe as I was pretty hot on it, but have now decided to stick with my 991.2 (personal reasons).
They have essentially taken care of this car its entire life. There was an incident where it hit some debris. They have the full documentation of what was replaced.

The car looks stellar!
any thoughts on why this hasn't sold? do you think the minimal accident should drive down the price significantly? I've been in touch with them about this car and it does look pretty solid, the cdk breach seems to have affected this particular porsche dealership so they couldn't dig too dip into records for me. Just comparing it to that slate grey 1-owner for 149k though, which is a more rare color and with no accidents or mods, seems like it should be priced lower (although it is at a porsche stealership). I'm trying to buy a .1 to actually drive and hopefully own forever, but part of the sales PPT I've (literally) put together to convince my partner that this is a good decision involves saying it's basically a checking account worth the purchase value if we were to need it, lol. for the record she won't even drive her rivian on the highway or even cross a bridge, so needless to say the love of cars is not deep with her

$155 is pretty high for a car with damage IMO, even if well documented. The white one on BAT with paintwork all over it but a clean CarFax went for $143 plus fees.

There is a substantial % of potential buyers that are not interested in cars with prior damage, and my suspicion is that group may be the ones that would pay $155 for a .1, versus some of the recent ones we’ve seen in the 130s and 140s

I’m looking for a no accident .1 if anyone has one for sale. The higher the mileage the better. Thanks!
