Description:
Up for sale is my beloved 2012.5 991 Carrera S. This car has been hands-down the best car I've ever owned and I know it will continue to be for the next owner. I've had just under 3 years of trouble-free ownership. The car was purchased in 1/2016 CPO from Hennessy Porsche with just over 30k miles (after searching for almost a year, I finally found this special build and jumped on it). It is finished in awesome Agate Grey metallic over stunning Carrera Red full leather. When I purchased from Hennessy, I had them install the factory PSE exhaust (only option missing from an otherwise perfect build IMO). I still have the original Carrera S exhaust and tips as well. I also had the Carrera Sport wheel in Carrera Red installed. Both the exhaust and original steering wheel will be included with sale. Burmester tweeters were installed which I think is critical to making the Bose sound enjoyable. Chrome exhaust tips were fitted to the PSE; factory tips will be included.
I've since had all service done at Porsche of Orlando including the 40k service with spark plug change and a recent service there about 5k miles ago. The car was daily driven for about 2 years, mostly highway, before getting a 3rd car so now it sits in the garage (always garaged at home/work) waiting for the occasional outing. I'm looking to move upward to either a TTS or R8 which is why I'm putting this car up for sale. Typing this out is more painful than expected because I'm still on the fence if I should move on from this special car but here goes...
My ownership has been completely free of any mechanical issues. I had both door panels replaced a little over a year ago (warping issue known to affect door panels of 991. This car has full leather and wasn't warped but had some weird creases in the leather and with a great relationship with my service advisor we were able to get both door cards replaced. It took about 5 months for them to be produced and sent from Germany and they look AWESOME and are flawless.) I also had the headlight covers replaced from some delamination issues/hairline cracks (also a known issue; had to fight a bit to get this done but now they look new now). The car was always hand-washed and blown dry.
I am very meticulous with pretty much everything in life (maybe a little too OCD) and my care of the car reflects that. I would rate the exterior of the car to be a 8.5/10. All small rock chips were repaired with Dr. Color Chip and are unnoticeable unless you are looking right up at the paint. The car was bumped in the rear from <5mph which left a slight crease in the bumper but no paint damage (see images). I opted to leave this since I wanted to keep the paint original and the crease is mostly unnoticeable unless you're looking for it. I had the car inspected after the bump and no issues were noted by the dealer.
I would rate the interior of the car to be a 9/10. The Carrera red leather is spectacular and gives the car a real special feel - I get compliments all the time on the color combo. All seats are in excellent condition. Wheels are curb-rash free. The car had new brakes placed about 2 years ago and 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/295 a little over a year ago with the majority of tread still remaining. AC blows super cold. Non-smoker. The car needs nothing mechanically. The car has 3m Crystalline window film 40% on the sides/rear and 70% on the windshield. This gives the car a nice subtle tint that matches well with Agate. It has the best heat rejection and having the windshield "tinted" (You wouldn't know it unless you were told it is there other than feeling no heat coming through) has been awesome in keeping the cabin cool in the sunny weather we have here in Florida.
I have both sets of keys and all books/manuals. Thanks for reading

I know this car its really a 10/10...the OP is being bashful. Fantastic car and the OP is quite OCD to say the least. He's the type of guy that doesn't take this car to the beach in fear of salt water corrosion from the moisture alone...medically OCD type...

I wanted to PM, but this is my first post. I love everything about this vehicle. First, I think you should keep it, even with the accident it looks like a 9/10.
The only thing that gives me pause is the accident, there is so much damage that can be hidden with these cars now, but I'm glad it was inspected and had no issues. I would be inclined to want to pay a bit less due to the accident, but I'm very happy that you were upfront with it, you don't see that much nowadays.
I'm local if that helps. Please PM me back, I don't have the permissions to initiate that yet.
