Default Looking For: Black Carrera GT

I have been a lurker for some time and I was hoping somebody here could point me in the right direction.

I have a 2008 997.1 TT cabriolet and want something more exclusive

I'm looking for a Black Carrera GT, preferably a Canadian car. Not too picky on interior colour or whether it is a US car originally. Black is ridiculously hard to find. I have found a couple silver in Canada but nothing black

Thanks guys.

Contact James Simpson to see if this one is still available.

I am taking a different strategy.

Im waiting for my CGT to find me. One day I know it will be in the garage when I wake up, along with Kate Beckinsale.

Why not import one from the US?

Good luck with the search - definitely a dream car of mine! Pics are a must once it is in your hands!

Let me know if you find one with a blown engine.

It seems I have no way to private message or email you. Email me and I'll put you in touch with someone who may be able to help: geoffrey(at)gracehomes.com

Thanks for the great responses guys, I will be contacting James Simpson after Christmas.

Ggrace, I'll be sending you an email soon.

I am a little more optimistic after the amount of responses. Don't worry, I will post pictures of any acquisition

Edit: I want a car in Canada because I don't have that much cash burning a whole in my pocket

I believe Marks Motors in Ottawa (the Porsche dealer here) has an 05 CGT, Silver on Black if I remember correctly. Not your first colour choice and probably asking way too high for it, but might be worth a look?

Then you should be looking in the states, for sure. I don't know the used market for CGTs, but brand new there was a huge price difference - I think $450k in the states, $600k here.

I'm also pretty sure banks will finance a car from the US. I've asked about this years ago when we first bought our Jetta.

It depends what she's doing while you're driving.

FYI PParts cars for sale has a black one....4k miles....if you're serious about it though.....

FYI this is a hole-burning-in-your-pocket car. if you want to go exclusive i'd def go for that 959 that was shown here recently....but that's just me.
