Default Preparing to sell 2007 Turbo

After 9+ years of ownership, I'm preparing to sell my 2007 Turbo. I'll work on placing an ad in the classifieds section sometime in the next few days but posting here now as a heads-up. I'm the original owner of this pristine car with basalt black exterior (clear bra on front bumper) & immaculate black interior. Adaptive sport seats, sport chrono, red seat belts, thicker 3-spoke steering wheel. 29,000'ish miles with all recommended maintenance up to date at Porsche dealer in Los Angeles-CA area. No dings, no scratches, no accidents, no curbed wheels.

Thanks guys, it is a very nice car. I feel lucky & privileged to have owned it for so long (longest-held car for me, ever) - it's a real joy to drive & admire. It has never let me down & its reward is that I've taken great care of it. Next up is a GT3 RS that will likely arrive later this year or early next year. I've fantasized about keeping the Turbo but garage space is limited to 3 vehicles at the moment so I'm going to test the waters in the classifieds.

The car is 99.9% as it came from the factory. I added clear side markers, Dension iPod connection (in the trunk) & paint protection film on the front bumper within first few weeks of ownership.

It's not a highly optioned car (MSRP was $127k'ish) and, from memory, the factory specs include:
  • Basalt black exterior
  • Black interior
  • Manual transmission
  • Sport chrono package
  • Adaptive sport seats
  • Red seat belts
  • Thicker steering wheel
I might be forgetting something but I'm not home right now to double check the window sticker. I'll post more when I can.

Sounds like an ideal manual TT, regardless of year.

Congrats on that GT3 RS, will look great in GT Silver but it isn't a manual turbo 997. If your only problem is space I would keep it. Perhaps a lift could be a solution http://www.carliftsplus.com/wp-conte...800&height=600

It has the important stuff, imo the only thing missing is PCCB's but those can still be installed if wanted, they are even offered as tequipment from Porsche.

Best wishes in your negotiations. I look forward to reading about it if you buy (I've been following your thread).

Link to my ad in the classified section. I hope I'm not being too cheeky with the asking price...
