Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!

I had seen the car on the cars.com for sale but emailed the guy and he didn't respond. But then on Saturday (after we have "selected" a few houses but not locked on any of them) I called the guy and decided to drive 2 hours to Louisville to see the car. Once I saw it I new I had to buy it and the CPO closed the deal. 4 days later they accepted on of the offers on a house so that's what I call a productive trip (honestly I thought it would take months to find the right car).
Also I drove the 996 turbo and the 997s and decided on the turbo based on raw power and aggressive look. I really liked the interior of the 997 but didn't feel a huge difference in power vs my e46 m3 (at least on the street).
