It's high miles, but clean CarProof. It's been for sale 9 months. 2 owners, but no service history.

I would PPI it at EU Autoworks.

Not sure I can pull the trigger now but was thinking in a few months...

it's everything I want.

 

If it's everything you want get it checked out and offer them $52,000 and meet them in the middle at $57,000.

You only live once and all that jazz.

 

great exterior colour, not great interior colour, pdk brings value down, miles a little high, certified warranty available (lol). there are some very shady dealers in that area...be careful. Otherwise could be a good car.
good luck! you can lease it for 4.99% and pay it off in a few months when have the dorayme!

 

Tiptronic and not PDK, rather big difference IMO. Be sure you truly want an automatic 911 before moving ahead.

 

I've drive stick and tip 997 cars, and dont mind the tip as this will be the commuter. 1st gear vanishes in a 997.1 anyway for the 6spd i've found.

my 6spd fcar is for the fun drives.

my main concern is the reputability of this dealer and if they could be putting a fast one by me (fake carproof? is that possible?). Anyone heard of them?

PPIs don't catch everything.

Yes thought about leasing it and paying it off. NOt there yet mentally.

 

sorry forgot to mention i'm out of province otherwise I would've just gone down and done all this myself.

 

Have you googled bay auto zone to see reviews and complaints. You might want to.

 

I went to check out that car briefly before in the summer as well, but decided to go with a C2S for price reasons. It was 66k at the time, then went to 60 in fall, but now back at 62k. I find these guys are pretty firm with pricing.

 

Oh, one thing i forgot to mention, it 's a US car...could influence buying decision.

 

Yeah I google'd and saw the yelp stuff. I wouldn't send a deposit and they are open to PPI. I would close the deal in person.

Mike, how'd the car look? how'd it drive? Any obvious issues?

US car doesn't mean much to me..should it?

 

Buy from a reputable high end car dealer . That's the best advice .

 

The paint and interior wasn't perfect, but it was decent. At that price point and it being a US car, it's kind of expected. Again, that was my impression 6 months ago.

I didn't get to drive it because it was in the middle of the showroom and maybe 4 cars in front of it. So I can't say anything about that at all.

It being an American just means you'll most likely sell it in Canada for cheaper than a comparable CDN car. But since you buy it at a slight discount, it should kinda be a moot point. But you can flip it to the US at market US prices.

 

Worth noting that, yes, it can be repatriated to US without any import duty.

 

They may have raised the price due to the fall of our dollar, the alternative of someone importing a car from the US themselves is becoming less viable.

Color of my dreams! There are a number of 997 Turbos for sale via Kijiji, take a look, you might find a better deal for not much more money.
