Just joined the site. I live in Arizona and flew to San Diego Monday morning to pick up my new toy. A 2007 Porsche 911 997.1 Carrera S coupe. With get this, only 3,900 miles on it! This car is brand new! It's a coupe manual transmission fully optioned out Guards Red. Original MSRP of $109,120. I'm really impressed with the quality of this car. Way exceeded my expectations. I do have a few questions. 1) any suggestions on iPod connectors. Other than FM transmitter. 2) is the Bluetooth usable. And if so, how.

are the tires the originals?, if so , what brand are they, I ask cause when I bought my 2008 last year the Michelins were from early 2008 and still like new with +/- 10000kms but I felt like they were kinda hard and sure enough, though I am no expert I felt a difference in handling and noise with new ones, good luck, she looks nicely optioned...enjoy!

Jake's motorcars in San Diego? I hope you did a PPI, low miles 997.1 are known for RMS issues. The seals will dry up and causes it to leak if not driven.

So you didn't get a PPI? Living life dangerously, RMS starts to leak when it's not driving for 2-3 months. 2007 model with 3,900 miles, not good with math but my calculator says it wasn't driven much. Good thing is, it's only a $1,200 fix at the dealer.
