Default I got lucky!!'

Bought my car at auction and it only came with one key. The previous owner left an oil change receipt with his name and number on it in the owners manual.

Anyway ... So I reached out to the previous owner via text.

He sent me the other key, the original window sticker , cpo doc and certificate of authenticity. He didn't charge me anything ... Not even for shipping.

I offered a good bottle of wine and he said he was just happy his car ended up in good hands.

I will post pics.... When I transfer them to a computer. For some reason I cannot upload pics using my iPhone .

2007 997tt 10k miles, tip tronic, sport chrono, arctic silver with adaptive sport seats. 100% stock for now.

First upgrade exhaust ...2nd ECU ...3rd wheels and then steering wheel. I'm tempted to drop it with springs, but I'm afraid the ride will not be as nice. I dropped my 993 and now it rides like a track car. Great for driving, but not for commutes to work.
