Hello fellow Rennlisters.

Up for sale is my 2005 Carrera Cabriolet. Must sell to make room for other toy(s). I bought the car from the original owner who is a dear friend and doctor. Lots of money has been invested into the car, every maintenance and expense needed has been taken care of. I have a binder with over 500 pages worth of paperwork from myself and the original owner. The car sits with 133,xxx miles, majority have been highway miles, to and from work. The previous owner did not cheap out on maintenance costs- he had other 911's and knew how they must be maintained well.

- Major service was done at 105,000 miles and oil changes have been done every 5000 miles since- full synthetic, filter cut open & inspected, no debris.

- The top is working perfectly and is in excellent shape, was also serviced at 105k and it works 100%. The car has always been garaged and was garaged by the original owner as well- at home and at work.

- Tires are all season, Continental Extreme Contact DWS06, mounted at 125,000 miles.

- I also have the original window sticker and Certificate of Authenticity.

- Car is equipped with the special color is "Slate Gray Metallic" which costed $3,070... very rare color.

- The only aftermarket modification done to the car is a hands-free Motorola phone and Sirius/XM receiver. I have the receipts for when that was installed too.

- The 6-speed manual transmission has worked flawlessly, and pulls hard in each gear. Transmission had full service done at around 105,000 miles too. The car drives and handles absolutely perfect. It doesn't drip or burn any oil, and generally this is a VERY clean car.

- The car drives, handles and looks like a car with much less miles on it. It has been taken really good care of and you will get a lot of car for your money. Obviously with a car of this age, there are small rock chips on the front bumper which have accumulated over time.

- Interior has no blemishes other than bolster seat wear. Backseats look like they've never been used.

- Clean DME. I have the original window sticker, Certificate of Authenticity and LOADS of receipts throughout the years.

- Everything works as it should. Have both original keys, owners manual/leather pouch, and the original tools in the front compartment.

- Long time PCA Member and Porsche owner. PPI's welcomed and encouraged! Located in Long Island/Metro NY/NJ. PM me on Rennlist or email: joheb18@yahoo.com

This does not compute! Why is this still for sale? 23.5k for a 997 6sp drop top in beautiful condition with some miles. A well taken care of 911 is just getting broke in at 100k!

Im guessing its because there is no mention if the IMS/RMS has been done and being checked for bore scoring?

Okay I get the paranoia, however I'd be much less paranoid with this car @ 133kmiles over one with 33k miles that's been a garage queen. At 23.5k you have some room for a PPI if it will help you sleep at night. Look at the owners maintenance and the appearance of the car, it has been well taken care of and driven, the best 911 in my opinion. Someone please buy it, drive it, and enjoy!

I'll leave this alone now. Looking forward to someone getting their hands on this 997!

The car has not had the IMS upgraded. That being said, the percentage of cars that the bearing does fail on is low mile, garage queens. It is extremely unlikely and rare for the IMS to go on a car with the miles that this already has. This is a driver and was driven almost daily as a highway cruiser.
As for the RMS, it was just inspected by the local Porsche Authorized dealer; they made note that it was "sweating".
Hope that clears some things up.
