Default Anyone Know This Car? New owner

Hey everyone. After a year of looking and missing out on a few cars, this past October I finally bought an 07 turbo. This car had 59k miles, a little above average but I jumped on it because it was exactly what I was looking for and in very nice shape.

Wondering if anyone knows this car? Originally bought in Greenwich CT, then spent most of its life in Nevada where I bought it in Las Vegas from Gaudin Porsche. I then drove it across country back to CT to start a new job a week later. I included a picture of the build sheet. Pretty highly optioned, one owner. The coolant lines have been welded. There is also clear bra on the front, hood, doors, mirrors.

VIN: WP0AD29957S786706

Google 911 Turbo plus the VIN# to see if anything comes up. Also try adding Rennlist or 6speedonline to the end of your search function. If it was discussed here, it should show up somewhere.

Thanks Rambler_13, I've tried a few different google searches with no luck. Figured I'd post this as a last shot to get info. I'm mainly just looking for any service history. Not that these cars really need anything more than oil changes at this mileage. I't was a one owner car though and obviously taken care of, plus the dealer did the 60K mile service before I took delivery. Figured I'd take the chance on it.

Thank you 05Mdriver. It was hard enough finding one of these cars in coupe, 6MT, sport chrono, axle diff lock and adaptive sport seats. The natural leather with yellow stitching, PCCB and slate gray metallic were just icing on the cake, I couldn't pass it up.

Yeah, sometimes you won't get much or anything. I tried it with my car back when purchasing it and all I could find was an older for sale listing from a previous dealer.

Does the Carfax show any of the service history? If done by a dealer, they may be willing to redact the prior owner's personal info and send you copies of the service records. You can even offer them a small fee for their time if they seem resistant. The Carfax for my car had a bunch of service records listed of the original owner's local P dealer. Many of them were vague, however, such as "service performed" and were not very helpful. Luckily, my local dealer I bought the car from obtained redacted copies of all the actual records that they passed on to me.

https://www.vehiclehistory.com/ often has some information on vehicles I've searched, including previous owners, though often not much.

Free though...

Haha. Dirty Mike and the Boyz probably had a great time in this car. If they could all fit in at least.

I have the car fax and everything. It does have services on there, but there is a gap between 26k miles and 46k miles. The Porsche dealer i bought it from said they couldn’t find any other records. Im curious who welded the coolant lines. Not that i doubt them, they look quality and it doesnt leak. I wonder if the clutch was changed at that time.

It's a long shot but try vinwiki.

No luck with vinwiki. I like their Youtube channel, and the app seems like an interesting idea. I don't think their user base is big enough yet to be really useful though.
