OH SNAP

If that was around 997 GTS prices as of late 2015 (about $10,000 lower) I would drive around in this next week.

$79,490 @ 9,959 miles, down from $127,465 msrp

http://locator.porsche.com/ipl-custo...eb7ff5&url=usa

VIN: WP0CB2A9XCS754466

9,959 miles, $127,465 msrp, $47,975 loss
$4.82/mile
$721.56/month(w), age 66 months 1,797 miles/year (warranty)
$677.66/month(p), age 70 months 1,688 miles/year (production)










ETA: I mean it isn't a supercar. Plastic interior and you have to deal with those stupid centerlock wheels. But talk about a great color on a GTS or gt3.

It is a great-looking car The service history is weak, at least on Carfax, and it's been moved around a lot. It doesn't seem like it was a bad wreck on Carfax and it was almost four years ago, no airbag deployments noted, and it's not a branded title. 997's are steel cars, they can tolerate a lot of repair.

If I were in the market for a low-mileage coupe like this, it would be worth a call. But, it needs a thorough PPI, no doubt.

The price is not a bargain for a 2006 S, but the miles are something else at only 23,290. Definitely worth a call. Why is everyone so hung up on body damage? If it's repaired properly, it's not a big deal.

Seriously, I like white over tan, especially in a cab; it looks clean. I would like to see the Carfax to see if that explains the price.

I hope this car is nice. I still feel bad about the totaled, flood-damaged green Targa 4S that's for sale. The price seems to reflect some issues, and I am hopeful someone on here will pull the Carfax. I am out of the pre-purchased allotment from my own 997 search, or I would do it. Inquiring minds want to know. If it's wonderful, it might be worth trading my C4S to wash out most of the sales tax; the weather's nice, if the car is worth buying, then there are a lot of people out there who could drive it home.

If I hadn't just bought a C4S and choked down $6,000 in sales tax, services and a couple of minor repairs, I would be very excited about this car. I haven't put Xpel PPF on mine yet, so I could spend that on this GTS. I'd be trading up in miles, 28K to 44K, but I don't drive more than 5K / yr in WI. Admittedly it's a PDK and I have a manual, but I am warming up to the PDK. It sounds like the stripes are tape, or a partial wrap, so they should come off easy enough.

I think I am talking myself into inquiring about this car.

It's a pretty car - the stripes and interior paint may be removable. Love the painted wheels. Visiting south FL this weekend and may go check it out.

That green Targa 4S is a shame. Beautiful color on a rare model. Green 4WD hatchback = perfect

If you do, please post about it, I just wrote to the salesman asking for the Carfax and if they'd consider trades. I will post the Carfax if he sends it.

It's about $15K low; that will cover a lot of red removal if that's the only problem.

I'm about half a mile from this dealership and have driven past the car a few times. If anyone would like me to stop by and ask any questions or take a few specific pictures let me know.

Edit:

Just drove by

Very cool car. Love the painted wheels. Those are love/hate and may be a big reason.

A GTS4 would be fantastic to own. I would guess they made lots less of them than the GT3 even.

Hey guy's - anyone have any opinions or thoughts on a dealer called Miami Imports? They have a 997 I'm looking at (On-line) but wanted to get some thoughts or experiences on this place.

Sounds like a great car but the link doesn't work.
