Doesn't seem to have LSD. It is a beautiful car. I have the sand beige interior as well, which I like. Go for it!

Edit: VIN sheet didn't cut/paste very well but you get the idea

Wheels painted black means they are black wheels. Look at mine. This car is not equipped as originally spec'd. I would ensure the current wheels are OEM and not aftermarket replacements. Anyway, it's a nice gingerbread car but not too well equipped. Don't make a snap decision. I would move on to the next car at the current price.

The build sheet showed no LSD. I will check on the wheels.

P.S. Like the color of yours.

Autotrader shows price drop to $74,810. Second drop. Dealer site hasn't shown second drop yet. Something around $70,000 might work.

Default Test drive by first TT this morning. Wow

I've owned many 911s and Turbos over my last 40 years in PCA. All have been MT except my current 2007 997.1 Turbo with Tip. We can argue all day about how great P cars are with MT or PDK. We all know that PDK is an improvement over Tip and the MT is more involving. I personally really enjoy my Turbo with Tiptronic. It does all that I want it to do and the Tip is relaxing to drive - also more than fast enough. Also a plus is the Mezger motor in the 997.1 Turbos. If you like the way it drives get the Tip and enjoy it. Bottom line - enjoy your Porsche!

Aqua blue is extremely rare in 997.1 turbos as it was only offered in 2009. If you love the color you should jump on it.

I don't know if the LSD was available on Tips in USA.

I have a midnight blue 08 tip and love it. PDK would have been nice but I drew the line on price in the $60k-65k range when I was looking for mine. No regrets!
