2005 Porsche Carrera S Launch Edition. Black on Black Leather. 6 Speed Manual Transmission. PCCB Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes. Full Leather Interior. Sport Crono. Car has an upgraded flat-bottom steering wheel. Beautiful Condition. Car also has Eibach Lowering Springs and Bilstein shocks. Upgraded Alpine Navigation system. Want to sell to upgrade to an 09.

Beautiful car. Where did you get the Alpine unit installed? GLWS.

 

Installed it myself! Thanks!

 

Pardon my ignorance on the subject... but what is a 'LAUNCH EDITION' 997?

 

For 997 US Launch, Porsche made some MY05 Black/Black Carrera S coupes with PCCB, Full leather, Adaptive Sport Seats, Sport Chrono Package Plus, Navigation and sometimes the factory aero kit variant. I am sure I'm forgetting something.

Anyways, these cars are awesome and this one is of a GREAT value in this beautiful condition!!! OP, if I were in the market this would absolutely be the one for me.

Now I am surprised you didn't mention IMS in the post. Has the car been retrofitted? I hate to ask such a tedious question but it has to be said.

 

Thank you sir! Appreciate being clued in...

So OP - about that IMS issue...

 

If the IMS gremlin worries you, do the LNE retrofit/upgrade, drive it how it was designed to be driven and forget about it. I did it on my 996 and will do it on any m96 or m97 motor car I get. Great spec, Greg. Love the deviated stitching as well. GLWS!

A little info for you based on the PM's.

I am not the original owner. Please run a car fax if you are interested in the service history. I purchased the car from a dealer in Eastern PA in October of 2013. The vin is WPOAB29985S740306.

There are NO dents on the car, but there are plenty of nics and chips that have been touched-up. This is not a garage queen by any stretch of the imagination. I can tell you, the car is extremely quick and agile.

There is no info on the IMS or RMS. There is no leaks and the car runs great! I am NOT a fan of the LED lights that the PO installed throughout the car, but many, many people like these.

Let me know if you need anything else!

If I didn't have my 06 cab, I would be on this car. I sent the link to a buddy here in Cbus starting to look for a nice 997.

 

One of the best examples of a 997 - great car and GLWS!!

 

in my opinion a 2005 Launch is the Best 997S you can buy for the money! someone snap this up quick!

 

Will KBB value this car higher than a normal one with the same options? Just wondering how the pricing is established on cars like this one?

 

There is one on ebay and auto trader in Eastern PA not marketed as a Launch car, but it is for sure. Its more money. Not enthusiastly owned!
