It looks like one of the launch cars for the DFI 997.2 so it has limited options, plus it likely had been a demo car.

Oh well to the salvaged car. Although there are some really good deals at some of the dealers now. I have found that they are willing to negotiate more than ever right now. Keep looking and you will find a good deal soon..

There should be a law requiring salvage title to be disclosed in an advertisement PROMINENTLY. Onus shouldn't be put on purchaser to dig for that type of information. Nothing wrong with full disclosure right up front.

Ah, Petro$$$ and shopping malls, indoor ski resorts, tallest buildings, and cheap used p-cars with 50 cent/gallon gas.......

Can't wait for fracking to fully come online - The US has over 5T barrels of oil locked up (now that's a strategic reserve ) Romney, Obama, whatever, the fact is we have hydrocarbons, always have, we just used yours first, lol

Great keep putting them under the ground for strategic reserve since the US and the world pay us the right amount we dont mind, in the other hand we have banks and reserves full of gold and MONEY which counts when we need it not oil once alternative hits the market it worth’s nothing

plus really 5T??? why they dont lossen up alittle and push 1T to the market over some years to lower the rates to you guys? i think 1T can insure better prices for many years and 4T its enough for ages in case something goes wrong

for the record i was pointing on the prices of the cars and the gas around here and a little of bragging lol please spare me the political argument
