So after much research and internal turmoil I have finally pulled the trigger:

06 C2S Cab:
- Midnight Blue Metallic
- Metropol Blue roof
- Tan Full "supple" Leather
- Power Seats
- 6 speed
- Bose
- many other additional little options...
- 2235 miles!

The car is perfect! Should have pulled the trigger months ago. Many thanks to Larry for letting me bounce questions off of him.

Excellent choice! Sounds wonderful. I love midnight blue metallic on cabs. Post pics before you get lambasted here. You won't regret this purchase, as cabs are a ton of fun. Congratulations.

 

Oh wow !!! You got it !!! Congrats .

 

Good choice on colour and cabrio! Best decision I ever made too!

 

2245 miles, WOW. Congrats.............

 

Too late. Consider yourself lambasted. Now post the pix!
Sounds like a great car.

 

Congrats on the new car. Funny as I almost bought a 2006 C2S Cab as well that also had crazy low miles. The one I was looking at only had 2,600 miles on it!!! Here's a few pic's of it. The car was pristine as I'm sure yours is as well. It always amazes me how people can buy cars that drive like they do and look like this and only put about 1,000 miles a year on them.

 

Joe - South Florida does have a few snowbirds plus in places like Boca raton and Delray Beach there are active senior citizens who can still drive and buy a cab . When you see things like supple leather it means the older person may need some comfort . In my opinion .. that's the ideal seller . The old cliche of "the little old lady" is the phrase coined by many used car sales but with the Porsche 911 it's mostly guys who buy them . Buy a cab from a 75 year old retired person in Boca and theres a good chance that car is pristine.

 

That's very true and hopefully my next Porsche will be a Turbo similar to yours (might be a long way off, but a guy can dream) and the original owner will be just as you described

However, on that '06 Cab that I almost bought, the original owner went so far as to put the GT3 front bumper on, GP7 wheels, lowered, short shift, and it had a Fabspeed exhaust. Probably not some retired 75 year old. Whoever did the work probably was an enthusiast so why only 2,600 miles in almost 3 years. Amazing.

 

I have seen this too . It's similar to my friend who sold his Turbo . In his case he never even got to modify it. Some folks buy the car and love it so much that the expense and value is so overwhelming that when it comes to driving it the stress of of a ding . a chip or problem exceeds the joy .

I even understand it . I do drive my car but I am so overprotective over it and I want each mile driven to be the best . I don't want to waste miles . That's part of why I bought the Honda . If the Honda gets a ding it took one for the team .

I am not alone .(old thread) https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ive-997tt.html

 

Larry hit the nail on the head. It was owned by a 60yo "snow bird" (who is in better shape than me), and has a lot of "toys". Garage kept under a cover. Here are the pictures from the ad (low quality). I haven't had time to take my own yet... been busy cleaning out the garage.

 

Nice looking car. Even the "snowbird" had the eye to change out to the clears.

 

Wow. Great find. Can't believe how low the miles are. Congrats.

 

CONGRATS!!! Amazing find. You need to get some more miles on it now.

 

Even though it is not my daily driver... I fully expect to double the mileage in short order!
