Default My first 911!
After a year of literally searching the web every single night for the perfect first 911, I finally found her and now she's mine!

2017 7MT 991.2 in Agate Gray Metallic.
14 Ways
Glass sunroof
Premium package
20" Carrera Wheels in Satin Black
38k Miles and CPO
2 Owner, Socal car

Pretty much a stripper/peasant spec, but I absolutely LOVE this thing!

Proud to finally be a member of the Porsche community!

Perfect. All you need is the MT, glass sunroof, relatively low mileage in IMHO and some tunes. CPO BIG plus also...good find and enjoy.

Congrats and welcome to the 991 P-car Family. Love the color, I'm biased. Great to have CPO... these parts fixes can be costly.

Beautiful 911. Congratulations. They are a blast to drive. Every drive is an experience. Get a Lid Liner. Cheap insurance if you’re going to be using the frunk a lot. Prevents damage to the hood if you inadvertently close the hood when something like a wine bottle is sticking up.

Great car. Have fun

beautiful car, congrats...
But peasant spec ? Please !!!
My list of options: Crests on the headrest.... and....that's it...
I think they threw white paint for free because it looked bad in primer, and also ugly 19" wheels - replaced since...by less ugly 19s because I like sidewalls.
My service advisor commented he'd never seen one as stripped as mine, and he loved it for it ! (me too). My shifter console has enough blank buttons to spell out Stripper AND Peasant ;-)

What wheels did you get? Can you share pics? Thinking about 19's.
