Updated: looking for a Unicorn - Porsche Carrera 911 convertible (997)S or 4S – 2006 to 2011. Also looking at GTS or GTS4.

Thinking that no one would recognize the value of your car? With all of the options you ordered, and the countless number of hours thinking about what you would get? Well I may be the guy to buy your car. I’m a private buyer. I have a 2016 911GTS4, but miss my 2006 terribly.

Here is what I’m looking for:
Must haves:
Car in mint condition!
Convertible.
Manual Transmission
External color: not Brown, Black, Yellow
Full leather, preferably terracotta , black or grey
Preferred colors: GT Silver, Meteor Grey, Agate Grey, Azurro California, Aqua Blue(will consider PTS), Dark Blue metallic, Red Ruby.
Low Mileage (in relative terms – less than 20,000 miles)

Highly desirable:
Sports Chrono package
Sport Steering Wheel
Carbon Ceramic Brakes
Powerkit X51
Bose Sound system
No mods (Clear bra, Exhaust/Wheels OK)
Willing to pay a premium for the right car that checks most of my boxes.

Please PM me if you have a car that you think I might be interested in.

I get it. I had a 2005 S w/ an AWE cat back exhaust on it and it rates as one of my top five cars all time.

Hi Blue Chip,

Nice looking car. I'm going to wait some more, see if something comes up that gets closer to my dream car.

Thank you

I fully support waiting for the right unicorn. I did, and eventually found a car with X51, PCCB, no wart (!) and tons of exclusive options.

They're out there, just not up for sale that often.

Hi TorqueChap,
I can see that you appreciate the finer things in life. So you can understand my desire to recapture the feelings I have for the car I sold. I know I can't get an exact copy, but I also don't want to feel that I have settled for something that wouldn't make me happy.

I remember you thread on the Blue Baron and I totally understand the effort and the expense in getting your dream car.

Thanks for the encouragement.
