Description:

Desirable 2005 Porsche 997 Carrera S ‘Launch Edition’ for sale in Knoxville, TN. Enthusiast owned and maintained over the 8 years of my ownership. Each dealer received one Launch Edition upon the release of the 997. Launch Edition cars only came in Black and featured PCCB, nav, full leather, Sport Chrono among other options. Upgrades include new H&R Sports, Bilstien strut/shock, flat bottom steering wheel with yellow stitching & matching boots, 997 ‘gundo’ exhaust hack. I owned a 997 S Launch Car when new back in 2005. I missed the car so much I purchased this example in 2015!

I have all service documentation during my ownership to accompany the car. No documentation of IMS replacement but performed a bore scope on 11/3 with photos that show no issues. I would best describe this 997 as a 'driver'. The body shows very well however the front bumper, fog lights, and headlights show wear of a 17 year old, black, lowered sports car with 67,000 miles. CarFax shows one minor incident where a teenager backed into the rear bumper in a parking lot. 

$55,000 - Inspections & test-drives welcome.

More photos available upon request! Photos are outside of my local Porsche dealer after the bore scope but I am a private seller.

I was the previous owner of this Launch car, traded it for a 997.2 C2S at Harper in Knoxvile. Loved that car. The sound and brakes were SO much better than the 997.2 that replaced it.

Intoxicating, wish I could buy it back!

Greetings @DHinkle! I have been looking for a 977 in this exact spec and just joined Rennlist to try and find one. I am just "down the road" from you, south of Nashville (Brentwood). Traveling this weekend but would love to discuss when convenient for you. Thanks!

I am looking to buy one of these currently. But prefer very low mileage. Looks like this one has been thoroughly enjoyed (as it should be). GLWS!
