Indicative of what the vehicles are worth. Imagine one with 40k-60k miles on the clock would go for, which would not be bad?

3k miles for $82k, WOW. The original owner lost about $50k in depreciation to drive 3,000 miles

Congrats Chris!!!!

More than that, it had a 145k sticker!
I drove it 300 miles already....and it will be rudely introduced to Watkins glen next spring.
The only issue is the cf in a couple of places is peeling, fixing under warranty, but I'm sure it will happen in the future.
What do most guys do?

Chris, I had the two main CF options and the piece that ran under the windshield bubbled around 30K miiles or so. It was replaced under warranty and held up fine when I sold the car at 68K miles.

Yeah that piece takes a beating with the sun. When I had it replaced I figured it wouldn't last and would just do it in leather when it failed as I was coming out of warranty - and that piece is obscenely expensive. happy that it held up for another 30K miles or so until I sold the car.

Chris,nice car like the black/terracotta and the carbon!
How would you describe the ride of the 997.1 compared to the 997TTS ?
I only had the chance to be in both a few miles and looking to see what someone thinks
that have driven both alot longer than that.
