I need some help with this 2008 997 Turbo Cab!!

Guys,

As some of you may know, I have been looking for a 2008 (preferably 2009) 997 Turbo cab for quite some time now. I am looking for a car that ought to be a 6-speed, has to have the sport adaptives, and PCCBs. In a colour other than white, red or yellow... and preferably without stone grey interior. My luck thus far has been relatively limited, I check the forums, autotrader.com, ebaymotors.com, cars.com and dupontregistry.com every day!

I found this car, it has been on autotrader for a while now and the price seems to be almost too competitive, what is your verdict on the car? Does anyone know anything about the history of the car? What do you think about the mileage? I didnt really want to go over 11k-12k miles, but things are getting really frustrating! I love the slate grey!

If you know anyone looking to sell a car that meets my wanted spec, feel free to PM me!

Best regards,
Yannick H.

It hit a motor vehicle

CARFAX Airbag Tips

That was within 1 month after the second and last owner bought it.... Carfax

I guess it explains the price...

Thanks mathys!

That seems to sum up the case... Mods please lock / delete!

If anyone knows of a car that would fit my requirements, please PM me.

Thanks,

Try the Porsche website. Search for pre-owned vehicles. You'll have better luck there. Or, contact your local dealer and they will be able to locate a car for you a lot better. Then it at least goes through a Porsche inspection before you end up buying it. No dealer will sell you a unsafe car.

Hope this helps.
