Finally Joined the 996 Familia :) 2 Months search-Found in San Fran-Drove back to AZ

Ahhh Finally, Thank God the search is over, the conclusion was great & i got much more than what i was looking for

I began my search about 2 months ago- i literally became obsessed with buying a Porsche 911- was up all hours of the night searching craigslist, ebay, auto trader & Manheim..had a couple of close deals, even flew to L.A from AZ before getting a car checked *too excited jumped the gun* and the car had issues..

Finally i found a 2002 with every single record, only 38,000 miles, treated like a baby, with almost evey option available on it + Nice wheels & a warranty until 5.11 from a private owner in San Fran, i got it PPi'd first and came out PERFECT then i flew to San Fran and had a great drive back to AZ.

This car was for sale i guess here on 6speed 2 years ago but he never sold it, he just kept it, & babied it, the car still looks brand new...THANK GOD-it had almost all mods i would have had to spend money on already done..all i've done is i just bought the K&N Cold Air intake & got it installed at vivid racing yesterday....sounds amazing after 4,000 RPM.. + Removed the Cassette tape holders & replaced with Cubby hole..

Here ofcourse are some photos *say God Bless plz* lol..The photos by the way were from the ad the owner had posted 2 years ago on 6speed- the car looks the exact same, he only drove 8,000 miles in the past 2 years.

The only extra mods i think i may do are getting the Silver radio surround, ipod connecter (can't figure this one out yet, if its a cable or what) & maybe hte Turbo Front bumper + Powder Coat Wheels flat black with Gloss black lip

Exterior:

Bi-xenon headlights
Clear corner lights
OEM Aero kit rocker panels

19” Marion MR3 wheel, 19x8.5 (front), 19x11 (rear), silver face w/ polish lip

Supple leather seats

Thanks everyone...They were actually on the original sticker (he gave me all records + Sticker + Certificate of Auth) the spoiler alone was a $3200 option, rediculous!
