Long time listener, first time caller

I have cash in hand for a 997 Turbo manual in paint to sample or unique color interior combos.

Email me at newnode@mac.com or PM me if you are interested in sell yours.

*Must be manual and must be accident free
*Coupes and Cabs considered

You need to be more specific with your budget and color options. If you like green, call Holt, they have what you are looking for. I consider this case shut.

I love threads like this......

Be careful what you wish for. Almost every time I get gas, it takes an extra 5-10 minutes to answer questions from other people. Additionally, you have to drive very politely as your car stands out and is memorable. The 3rd owner of my car sold it because he didn't like all of the attention, he got something way more discrete - a purple GT3. (go figure but that's the way it is)

If you like driving and drive a lot the 'vanilla' Porsche colors have a number of big pluses.

997.1 or 997.2 gen? Big price difference and scarcity if you're looking for .2 in manual, especially PTS.

Thanks guys. Looking for a .1 manual. In the end, I may end up with a clean non-PTS. Just depends if the seller is price gouging or not

I gave a deposit and am going to check out a 2009 manual cab on Sunday. It has 33k miles, one owner , full records, and very clean service history, ppi, and overrev report. It is PTS GT silver with cocoa interior and top. What would you consider a fair price? I will let you know if I decide not to buy it.

A was on a similar quest a few years ago, and ended up with a 997.1 turbo 6MT in Macadamia Brown Metallic, with a Cocoa Brown top and Sand Beige in interior. I loved that car. It was a very unique color (not as unique as PTS, but very uncommon) but it wasn’t especially flashy. It allowed me to enjoy a unique color without a great deal of unwanted attention. My Mahogany Brown Metallic 991 turbo is very similar in that regard. Be patient, and you’ll find what you seek. The uncommon colors are out there....

I don't think GT Silver is paint to sample. Although the color is beautiful and costs extra. I have a GT Silver, Full Terracota interior 997.1 Turbo with about 20,000 miles but I dont think ill ever sell it.

Im a huge fan of your Ruf conversions 911-AL

Heres a pic of mine.

I appreciate that Moe. Love the GT Silver/Terracota combo. I'm all ears if you decide to sell.

You're right, it was a great example. Sometimes the timing is not on my side.

Default Found my unique ride

I just picked up an 08 Turbo Cab 6 speed in Slate Grey Metallic with full Red Carrera leather interior, Sport seats, Sport Chrono, loaded with less than 14k miles.

I can’t drive the car without several positive comments, nods & thumbs up!
