Default I'm coming aboard!

Finalizing the paperwork now and picking her up at the end of the week. 2008 with 36,000 miles on her. Clean history 2 owner car.

Was looking at a red 2009 with a rebuilt title but because of insurance issues the price difference wasn't worth it.

Can't wait to take it for a drive as it is 7 hours away from me.

Here are some pics.

Beautiful car! Congrats!

The 997.1 TT is a HUGE upgrade over your 996. You'll love it.

Thanks all! Only option I was hoping for was adaptive seats but I am a bigger dude so probably the comforts will work just fine.

Car is 100% stock and not molested in any way.

You did the right thing. You will probably never see another 997 Turbo in this color combo in your area, so unique.

What a great looking car, and very cool colours.
7 hours is a great way to get to know your car!

It’s funny I have the exact same color scheme inside of my black BMW 6 series. I like the combo of black and terra cotta helps break it up a bit.

Not too many of these cars in my area, and with exchange and import fees it’s better to buy Canada instead of the USA. It’s better for Americans to buy here right now (price wise) but the problem is the inventory sucks. When this one came up I really had to move fast.

There was 1 (one) US 2008 White (B4) Turbo Cabs, Manual, Terracotta/Black (BP) Interior made. Rarity is funny as in 2012 there were 32 White Cabs produced and only 2 with Red interior for the US. They are both in Texas within 15 miles of each other. We have met since the purchase.

Wow that is too cool, can't believe you guys live that close! Where can you get this information on build numbers by color combo? Interesting that mine is one of one.
