Hi all, I am new member to this site. After reading the post and test driving a few 997s, I think I am ready to make my first purchase.

Here is my wish list:
· 991 S Cab ideally with these options/trim:
o Exterior: black, white, or seal gray
o Interior: Black
o Top: Black
o “Must haves” features: heated seats, Nav, 6 speed manual, remote entry, “Sport Chrono Package plus”
o “Nice to haves” features: power seats, multi functional steering wheel, Bluetooth, iphone, CPO, 19” Carrera S Wheel

I am looking to spend between $60 to $70 dependent on mileage and features. So far I mainly have been looking on ebay, cars.com and autotrader.com. Is this realistic? Are the other factors/features I should consider?

Thanks in advance for your response and guidance

Moon, I think your model description is a typo. The 991 is rumoured to be the next 911's chassis designation. I was a bit confused at first.

I notice that you are in Seattle, Justatoy (his name is Stacy) is selling his 06 C2S Cab. Do a search for his winterizing post to see how well loved this car is. He is located in the Vancouver BC area.

Good Luck.

 

Welcome to the forum!

Good luck in your search!

 

Looks like Stacy bought a SC kit, i doubt he is selling the car now.

 

Have you tried Barrier Porsche ? Many of the posters from your region have been very happy buying their cars there . The 08 leftover inventory is a little higher than the 60 to 70 range but it is something to consider while inquiring aboit used CPO cars.

Good luck.

 

Thanks all for the responses and the warm welcome. Your responses are really helpful to newbie like me.

NorthVan997C2S, JustAToy is really into his car to say the least. What a freaking sweet ride!

I dropped by Barrier a few times; they have a pretty good selection and a great sales staff. The only ding against them is their (or more the Seattle market in general) prices are higher than other parts of the country. So I thought I would try ebay, cars.com, etc to see if I can save a few bucks after factoring the shipping cost.

 

I found both my 997's on eBay. I bought them direct, but a good resource to find cars. Yes Stacy's car is amazing, he keeps his car very clean, I am not sure with the weather that we get here he will ever get to drive it much!

 

I am on the other side of the map (Florida) so I only see the large percent of 6speed buyers in that region who are happy . One guy even went from California to get his Turbo from them. For the heck of it I looked at their inventory online and found a C2S cab seal grey, CPO at 69K and an 08 leftover asking 89K Arctic (somewhat in line with your pricing) .

Keep this in mind no matter where you buy --a "CPO" car will cost a bit more but there is a peace of mind with this recent certified Porsche warranty program .

Good luck .

 

Dont let your location limit you, I have bought cars used from out of state several times and either had a blast driving them cross country or shipped them.

I wo't. Actually it might be fun to drive across the country with weather permitting.

 

LOL,Thanks for looking out for me ED!
My car does not have the "Must haves" he is looking for,oh BTW mine is an '05
SC or no SC everything has it's price,LOL!

If I were you I would be looking here on the forum...you can find out sooo much about a car for sale by the posts the seller makes.
Also,this seems to be a REALLY tight forum with good people.Even though we don't really know each other,you sorta feel like you do from exchanging posts!Weird,but it is 'Peace of Mind'.Just my $.02

Stacy

PS Good luck in your hunt.
