Default Car in SC

New poster to this forum - been working on a 928 project but now time to move on to a more inspiring DD to replace the BMW...

This car is intriguing that I found through the Porsche website - this is one of my top color combos, I want a manual, and I am not looking for a low miles car, I plan to drive it.

http://greenville.porschedealer.com/...56855/info.php

Price is right - too right?? I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows this car and who would be an independent ppo or inspector in the SC area.

The search begins!

Nothing wrong with those miles on an 07 IMHO, assuming it's been well cared for and passes the usual evaluation hurdles. I like the interior but it may not suit everyones tastes. Unless you planning to turn it soon and you like it, who cars what others think. It's good to see Silver with something other than black or grey interior. Assuming it checks out, I's offer 60 K and try to arrive at a 63-64 final price which seems reasonable.

That isnt high mies and I think it is priced decent for a dealership. Not a super extensive options list but it has sport chrono.

looked at this car several times online…..as late as three weeks ago. I live 3 hours away from this dealer. I believe the interior, though wrongly stated in ad, is a BRIGHT red interior. Everything else about this car looked pretty good. If you can roll with the color of the interior….might be worthy. Call them…bet this is the same car.

Bet they're getting ready to send this car to auction and trying to draw in a buyer, as this is their last ditch effort to sell it on their own…if this is the RED interior car.

Thanks for the replies - I actually love the color combo. Any ideas for a local PPI? I know nothing about the shops in that area. Help appreciated.

Prices aren't going up on 07's so if they have been sitting on this car for awhile and are planning to auction it soon, I'd hold firmer to the 60K and see what they say.....BTW, is it a CPO car?

I have two tone blk terracotta, looks great.
Id suggest a black shift boot and black console lid for contrast. That's a great buy, what's the catch?

I looked at that car. It was in fact terracotta. They brought it in back in Feb. it didnt look very well cared for to be honest but i saw it before they "cleaned it up" as it were.
Also it was terra/black dash but the carpet was still terra which was a little much for me. Think terra is better on darker exterior colors not silver but just my opinion.
I think its ok u missed that one.

Carry on your search! There's a bunch of nice 997.1's out there for sure. Still a great car, some touching 1/3 of the original price. Incredible technology for not much money. They're a blast as a cab too. Nothing like dropping the top year around.

I bet that car sold for exactly what they asked for. None of the 07-09 models are going up in price anyway lol....I say go for 07-08 as it will be cheaper and def not worth paying the extra money an updated but still outdated pcm

Not surprised - that was a very good price for that car. Mine was $10K more...same mileage when I bought it. Granted mine came with 2yrs of CPO...but still a heck of a price diff!

Someone got a deal!

Plenty of fish in the sea and I'm in no hurry. More threads to come (I hope).
