This is my 2008 C4S which is in a color that's pretty rare and one that I absolutely love - Macadamia Metallic. I went out to shoot the car this evening at sundown and unfortunately was greeted with cloud cover. As such, the photos aren't doing the wonderful color much justice.

Anyway, I bought the car about three years ago as a CPO car from my local Porsche dealer. Since then, I've put about 11,000 loving miles on it. It's simply a wonderful car to drive and one I that I will miss dearly.

I'm a car guy... Meaning, I take care of my cars to the point of it being a bit ridiculous. In the past 6 months, this car has seen a 35k mile service from Porsche, brand new rear tires (less than 500 miles on them), a fresh alignment and too many damned car washes to count. It's never been tracked and never been abused. In fact, the only warranty work ever done on the car was the replacement of a broken cup holder.

Anyway, here are the particulars:

- Macadamia Metallic paint
- Two tone FULL LEATHER interior in black and sand beige
- 19" Turbo wheels
- Sport Chrono Package Plus
- Bose High End Sound package with NAV, SAT, and 6-disc changer
- Heated front seats
- Hidden aftermarket radar detector
- Comes with two keys, original window sticker, car cover, etc...

Finally, I don't like selling cars online. It scares me as I'm always afraid of misrepresenting something. As such, I like to list everything I know about the car that differentiates it from being BRAND NEW. Here's a list of that stuff:

1. There are a very few tiny rock chips on the front bumper and hood. Too small to photograph, but they are there. I would say that the paint is in way better condition than your average 35k mile Porsche though.

2. One of the front wheels has a curb rash. It's small... and was done before I owned the car. It's a $200 fix that I was gonna do next time it needed front tires. (I've included a picture)

3. The driver's side seat bolster has a little wear... Nothing out of the ordinary, but again I'm trying to list everything that I know about. (I've included a picture with the contrast adjusted so that you can REALLY see it)

And... That's about it... That's my Porsche.

I'm looking to get $50k for the car, but I am willing to listen to offers. I'm also willing to entertain trades (up or down) for the right air cooled car - 964 or 993 manual coupes.

I wish I could... I have this overwhelming urge to own an air cooled car.

And obviously it was priced too high... I've dropped the price considerably.

Thanks guys... And btw, I've had a number of questions through PM wondering if I'm a dealer. Not sure why that is the case... BUT, I am not a dealer. I'm just an enthusiast. This is my personal car.

Pics are too nice for normal enthusiast "i-shot-this-on-an-10-year-old-flipphone-because-my-car-will-sell-itself" sales ad.

Great pictures, beautiful car.

I hope my car can sell itself... But I don't gave a 10 year old flip phone! I like cameras almost as much as I like cars.

A little over a year a go when I first was looking for a 997 I saw one exactly like this only with a PDK and a less miles, but same year and same color combos. It's a stunning color combination - one of Porsche's best IMO. I may well have bought it but for the PDK and the dealers asking price of approx. $65k !!
