Did you buy it from a dealer or private sale?

Also its hard to tell by the pics but is your front lip and side skirts painted?
Options are: full leather, tip, heated seats, parking assist, sport chrono, cd changer, alum switch pkg, adaptive sport seats, painted rockers, crested headrests, alum. door finishers, alum. foot rest, multi func. wheel, exterior pkg. painted, carerra white instrument pnls, door guards steel illum.

Bought it from Porsche in Greenville as a CPO.

Everything is basalt black. Are the front lip and side skirts not normally painted? Or are they normally a standard black? I see that I have a couple of options for painted exterior parts. In fact, those two options add up to ~$2700 (!)

Tell me about it. It took me a while to find my 2007 CPO Guards Red / Natural Brown 6 speed with 12,500 miles. I drove 1,300 miles round trip to pick it up back in March.

No one here believes I own it because I haven't posted pics yet.

It's currently on jack stands in my garage awaiting new wheels and tires, upgraded turbos, headers, an exhaust and tune. I'll likely have pics later this month.

Good luck in your search.

There was a gorgeous GR 997.1TT w/ PCCB, full leather (+everything possible was leather!), AS seats, and alot more. Asking was $79k a few weeks ago in ATL. It was an outstanding vehicle, cleanest I've seen. Kudos to whoever got it, I was late to the race.

Yea the Jim Ellis one??? It was a tip though and I want a manual plus Jim Ellis prices suck.

hey Jerry, long time no chat. Quite right to wait for the one you want. Finally got myself a "new" toy after selling the 965. You will notice a big hike in power when you make the move.

Congrats on finally finding your dream car, that is truly an amazing looking car !! Hopefully you get some time off and get to take a few trips up to the smokey mountains during the fall. I really think a pair of Euro Side Markers would look amazing on the Basalt Black.

Gorgeous car! Enjoy Le Reve...
I have to agree with ECS on this, white side markers would look great!
