In July of 2005 when I purchased my first Porsche it was either a 996 turbo cab or a 997s cab. I went with the 997s because the 996 turbo just seemed old technology. So for the past 4 years I have done everything to make my 997S that "special" car for me including supercharging it. And ... while it was a great ride, it wasnt that Turbo that I wanted.

So after doing a week of detailed research, I woke up this morning, and purchased a 2009 997 Turbo cab at 25K under sticker. Black on Black. I will be bringing it back for some mods on Monday, but I now have my Turbo cab for almost the same price I paid for my "built" my my05 997S.

I guess its all about timing. So now I get to move over to the Turbo thread

Thanks for all the advise

Congrats! you will enjoy it. time to mod

Well done...I'm glad going in with an aggressive counter offer worked out in your favor. I knew it would. Now comes the fun part...getitng to drive it! :-)

congrats buddy, hope you enjoy every minute of it.

Thanks for the replies an PMs. I feel like a kid again. After everything I learned and did the mods I did myself to the 997s, I'm ready to start with the Turbo. The funny thing is when I woke up this morning, the wife and teanage kids said go for it (not that it would have mattered) but 4 hours at home, they seem to be enjoying as much as me. My seventeen year son old took it out for a spin with his friend.

Congratulations hjacobs2000!!!

I knew you would get it when you told me who you were negotiating with.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me too -- I am negotiating one now(not with Champion unfortunately). Hopefully I will wrap it up this weekend.

I know what you will be doing every second this weekend... Congrats again!!

congrats! now go out there and put some miles on it! :-)

Thanks everybody... Good timing I guess. Tomorrow's a Porsche run down to the Key Largo and beyond

Congrats man! Enjoy it!
