That's a good looking car and 14k miles a big + . I like everything about it but the back of the seats. Prefer leather there but easily fixed.

I previously owned that car and traded it to Doug for my PTS Horizon Blue Coupe. The Malachite cabrio is a beautiful car! Someone should ****** it up.

This is the ONE!! I wished I'd had the funds when the RL member had it for sale.

I agree! Out of my price range once you factor in sales tax. I would rather buy from a private owner and preferably with PCCB.

I wish Porsche made more orange 997 Turbos. I saw one once very early on by the Naval Medical Center in Bethesda and couldn't take my eyes off of it to the point that I had to follow it for a while on Wisconsin Ave. It was breathtaking to me and had matching orange wheels I think though I could be wrong about that part. So cool.

Looked a bit like this



And then there's the 997.1 Orange...

You've gotta be either really brave or really foolish to throw a car with that DME to the hyenas on BaT. Extra lol at the guy saying 42k miles is "high mileage."

I just noticed part of the sales text - "The exterior paint and panels are all original except for the front bumper which was refinished by the previous owner because he didn't want the front license plate holes which had been installed by the dealer."

Holy schmokes - why on earth would any dealer ever start drilling on a brand new car?

And how did you end up fixing it?

It's one mis-shift the way I see it. The range 5 and 6 happened in the hundreds of a second. With 1000 hrs since it's a sign of how robust these engines are.

I'd feel even better if I saw a DFI with the same DME.

I have a 997.2 manual GT silver w/ terracota interior that I may be selling in a few weeks.

LMK if you’re interested and would like any pics.
