I am listing my 2008 911 Turbo for sale. Funding a crack track addiction with a 987 Cayman S race car I've recently acquired. Looking to take my track hobby to the next level or three this season, therefore I am going to move my 997TT along - hopefully to another enthusiast. Please PM me for questions, VIN number, or contact information.
The asking price is $93,000 Canadian dollars, whether you're Canadian or American. At today's exchange rates, USA buyers are looking at about $70,400 $69,200 (March 6 2019) US dollars to buy $93,000 Canadian dollars. I believe this is a more than fair price that will net a smooth, no hassle transaction for both myself and the buyer.
The car is located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada (45mins west of Toronto) - less than an hour from the USA / Canada borders at Buffalo NY and Niagara Falls NY. Importing to the USA is a breeze, especially if you pay a transport company or broker to do it on your behalf. The duty is simply 2.5% of the purchase price, plus whatever taxes you would pay locally in your state. So USA buyers are looking at ~$72,262 USD to bring this in from Canada. I am happy to assist with transportation logistics, but ultimately the arrangement is up to to the buyer.
The car is available for inspection and PPI at the prospective buyer's expense. Here in the Greater Toronto area we are lucky to have 4 Porsche dealers and a large number of reputable independent and race shops that you can choose from for the PPI process.
Notable options:
Factory aerokit car
Lots of deviated red stitching
Rarely optioned alcantara steering wheel, gear lever, hand brake and seat centers
Sport adaptive seats, heated, with painted seat backs
Axle differential lock rear
Sport Chrono package
All red tail lights
Window sticker: See attached photos
Additional details:
95,000 KM / 59,000 miles
I have complete service documentation since new, with no gaps in the service history; can be emailed to prospective buyers for review, along with Blackstone oil analysis reports
The car is 100% up to date on all minor and major services, including trans/diff/awd fluid changes, spark plugs, fuel filter, and much more
Coolant lines have not been pinned
No accidents or stories; clean carfax / carproof
Canadian car since new - the speedometer is in KMH but the digital LCD speedometer can be toggled between KMH and MPH
I am the 3rd owner and title is in-hand; no loans or liens, and I have owned the car since 2016
Summer only car for myself & the two previous owners, never used in the winter months
Xpel Ultimate PPF covering entire front bumper, hood, quarter panels, side skirts and in front of rear hips + Opti-Coat Pro covering entire car including BBS wheels
The car needs nothing, just turn the key and enjoy
Condition:
Exterior: 8.5-9 out of 10; the entire front end is wrapped in Xpel Ultimate PPF, as are the entire side skirts and the front sections of the rear quarter panel hips;
The hood has a few small rock chips from before I had the PPF installed
The front bumper & side skirts are 100% perfect as I had Pfaff Porsche repaint them prior to taking delivery (to make them perfect, not to fix damage or due to accident...), and immediately had them covered in PPF afterwards
No dents, dings or scratches anywhere
Interior: 8 out of 10; the bottom outside bolsters have some creasing as you typically see in these cars. All the alcantara on the seats is perfect. Alcantara on the wheel and shifter has minor matting considering they're 11 years old - but still look great
Seat backs have a few small chips in them
The car has the following modifications:
19" BBS wheels with 245/35/19 and 325/30/19 Pilot Super Sport tires
30% ceramic window
Eibach lowering springs (original springs included with sale)
Custom tune by Ultimate Motor Werks (sale includes UMW OBD2 datalogger for flashing the car back to stock if so desired, and to do datalogging, DME readings, etc...)
Speedtech 200 cell catted 3" x-pipe with black quad tips
Porsche GT2RS intercoolers (purchased new from Porsche, original intercoolers included with sale)
RSS adjustable lower control arms, front
RSS adjustable toe steer kit, rear
Track history:
I took the car to a handful of HPDE weekends in 2018, running in the novice instructed groups
I realized I was hooked and bought a 987 Cayman S race car
Current DME Report; Note that the UMW tune increases the rev limiter which means 1's and 2's get arbitrarily collected when running to redline. Please do your due diligence on DME reports and understand that they are not the single most important part of a pre-purchase inspection. They're simply a data point to be considered along with the rest of a thorough PPI process.
1398 operating hours
Range 1: 21049 @ 1376 hrs
Range 2: 4282 @ 1375 hrs
Range 3: 303 @ 1374 hrs
Range 4: 16 @ 1368 hrs
Range 5: 4 @ 1368 hrs
Range 6: 2 @ 1368 hrs
The range five and six values are glitches, and maybe even the 16 ignitions in range four as well. These are insanely small numbers when considering purported engine speed and number of ignitions per revolution; so small that single digit values are typically regarded as a glitch as there would be no way to achieve such a tiny value if the motor was actually spun up that fast. This car has not been mis-shifted into 9,000+ RPM territory, simple as that. Others have also reported phantom single digit values being recorded in the DME, and used the Durametric tool to document that they've been added without any cause. Note that the above values were pulled using my UMW data logging device; values shown on a Durametric or PIWIS could be different (or the same) to what I've listed above (I've read that different devices can show different readings, who knows...)

Nice looking car. I like the interior specs. I'm not in the market, but figured I'd put the question out there for others: doesn't US customs require a letter from the manufacturer stating this car passes safety and emissions required in the US? https://www.ezbordercrossing.com/the...e-from-canada/

Sure does, and any Porsche dealer in Canada or the US can provide that letter. It's done all the time with cars going to / from the USA, standard procedure. There are no physical or programming changes needed to import the car to the USA. The only thing that ever has to be done by the dealer is when a USA car comes to Canada, the dealer has to enable the daytime running lights with PIWIS as they are required in Canada. When shipping to the USA, there are no changes or modifications required - all you need is the letter from the Porsche dealer.
Thanks guys! I appreciate that a US buyer has a bit more paperwork to deal with than a Canadian buyer, so I am at peace with the pricing - even if it means possibly leaving a couple of bucks on the table.
Carfax and service history are available for any prospective buyers if they wish to review.
Letter of compliance for importation into USA from Porsche Cars North America in hand. Drive the car over the border yourself for no costs other than 2.5% duty. The direct line to the CBP vehicle importation information center for all Ontario / NY state border crossings is (716) 843-8348, which will provide all the information you will need.
Hi everyone, thank you for the positive vibes & feedback.
I am happy to report the car is sold conditional on PPI, and a deposit has been provided. I will update the thread next week to confirm a completed transaction once funds are received in full.
Thanks again for the interest, and thanks to Rennlist for the community sale forum!
Chris
