Congrats on the 911! Atlas gray is a very cool color, but then I am biased😀. Attachment 1153062
Thanks! I was actually inspired to look for an Atlas car after seeing yours on the forum here. In all the months of amost-daily looking I think I only ever saw 2 AG coupes (I bought 1) and maybe 1 cab.
And I love that two tone you've got, I can't even begin to imagine how rare that car is.
I was in the same boat! I've been looking since 2014 when I seen the prices creeping down to my price range. I wanted a C4S specifically because of the body shape. I bought it from Texas and was shipped to california....longest 7 days ever...but I am a happy owner..
I got lucky though because I bought it sight unseen and did the PPI when i received the car...luckily everything checked out fine. never gonna do that again! I was just too excited.
Re: your buying experience ... been there, done all that too. I found mine at a Porsche dealership in Ontario. Getting the car paid for, shipped to Texas, etc sight unseen was a most excellent adventure (but I'd do it again .
I got lucky, after 7 months of daily looking I found mine locally on Craigslist of all places. CPO and seller was a car nut with 7 other cars (3 Porsches).
Did you purchase a 3rd party warranty? If yes can you share which company, If not would love to hear your thought process.
I recently purchased 2010 997.2 Cab and have 90 day warranty from Autonation. The Window Regulator went a few days ago and they covered the repair. $700.00 I am currently getting quotes and besides Autonation have only Fidelity offering coverage.

Thank you! Congrats to you too, car sounds nice.
I did not get a warranty... On a whim, I priced one from a 3rd party and it was in the 4-5k range, but I didn't look further into it because I don't think it was from a reputable company (don't even remember the name)...
While I'm still considering it, I figure since the 997.2 doesn't suffer from major issues like IMS failure or bore scoring (very rare) and the fact my car is a non-PDK car, I'm feeling pretty confident that I won't be getting hit with any 20k repair bills.
That being said, I have budgeted around 4-5k for maintenance and repairs of smaller items over the next few years - so it may be worth it in the end. People seem to say good things about Fidelity.

If you decide, Rennlist members recommended contacting Mike
@ mjourdan@mossymotors.com for Fidelity Warranty options. His rate quotes are substantially less.
