Default Acid Green 997TTS

Not sure why, but tempted to trade mine in for this tomorrow. Only wonder is why they didn't carry the green down to the lower trim/rocker panels.

Adding painted "normal" trim to the lower lip and rockers is almost $1500; for PTS it has to be more...but if you're going with this color, it only makes sense to me. One thing about the painted lip though; it gets beaten to crap after the first ride (as I personally know), so maybe black is smarter for that area, but the matching color undoubtedly looks better.

It sure is loaded, especially if you're a fan of CF inserts. Be sure you like kermit green...

Great color, although i think acid green is a bit more neon, this is the RS green color i believe!

Love the car! wonder how many total they made in this color? i'm sure its not many at all....

Nice ride, even if it isn't a 6MT Cab.

It's awesome..I have that same CF package. It great as long as it's kept out of the sun. $133k seems a bit steep to me.. But what do I know..

Unless the market has firmed up in the last 60 days, I agree with Phillip, the price seems a little high. Yes the miles are super low but the mid 120's seems more reasonable. During my search late last year I found 2011 TTS's priced from 115-140 and prices seemed to be softening slightly. Certainly every dealer is different but they usually have some room in their price. I'd offer 118-120 and see what they say (certainly after due diligence on your part), they have to know your a serious buyer and it really helps if you convey you'd be willing to walk if you can't get your ultimate price. If they think your in love with the unique color your toast.

I've owned a 1975 911S my friends nicked named the Frog.

It was the magnesium 2.7 case and as you know they all try and pull there case studs out.

Sold to pay for 1985 Carrera Guards Red. I wouldn't have bought the Green car if I had to do it again.

Nice car! Never heard of "Acid Green" but what do I know. To me that looks like "RS Green" - it's a little lighter than the Viper Green from back in the day. I'm not too sure if I'd buy a 997 turbo in that particular hue however. It looks better on an older car. If this was a 964 I'd be all over it!

I have all exterior surfaces on mine painted from the factory. Here are the prices:

EXTERIOR COLOR HEADLIGHT CLEANER COVER $215
PAINTED ROCKER PANELS $750
PAINTED SPOILER LIP $590
PAINTED FRONT AIR INTAKES $990
PAINTED LOWER PORTION OF REAR APRON $590
EXTERIOR COLOR PAINTED MODEL DESIGNATION ON REAR LID $130

That's in 2007 dollars. Prices were probably higher for MY2011 models.

I like your grey TT every bit as much as the green TTS.

While the front lip painted to the color of the car looks great, any contact with a curb or parking barrier will cause the paint to crumble and peel. While price is a tad high, $125K is fair.Anything lower would be a great deal.
