Default Need help finding a 997 Turbo S Spyder Edition

I need some help finding a 997 Turbo S convertible Spyder Edition

I have been looking for a while now and missed the last one for sale in TX by a day :-(

So if anyone in here knows an owner of this version and if he should considering selling please let me know.

I know its just a "normal" Turbo S, but I just love the small Lime green details throughout the car :-)

I have attached a couple of pictures of the SE version.

I can be contacted here or on Spens997@gmail.com

Hope someone out there knows somebody :-)

Joergen

Thanks VID

I'm afraid that this one is going to end somewhat over my budget.
Unfortunately I need to find one that has been used a bit :-)

But its going to be interesting to see what a "new" 997 Turbo S can sell for today..

Is this a trick question?

Although it's not a cab, there's a currently a black one being serviced at a local Porsche dealer here in Cleveland. I have friends that work at this dealer, I can see if they can find out if the owner will entertain an offer?

Yes I guess its a relative fair price for a "new" 997 Turbo S. But it will probably end in a fine collection somewhere instead of being used for what it was build to do.....
Not that I'm jealous on the buyer not at all

I agree, I actually paid 9K more for my 09 "built to spec" 997.1 TT from Champion. I think the (918 edition) car will only go up in value....just need to wait it out.

It's unsure if all 918 were actually built/ordered... many sources say no. And I read the question as how many of these are convertibles vs coupe... I've never seen anything on that either.. unless I've missed something in the thread lol
