I learned a long time ago that if the words, "practical" or "economical" enter into my thought process when deciding to buy or sell a car I've had a serious lapse of self awareness.
And boy am I glad I bought my car before you realized your mistake! I just picked up this Lapis Blue and tan with aero two weeks ago.

I replied without looking at the previous posts. That is a gorgeous car you have there! It is still on their site and on Autotrader. Defnintely a car that I would pursue. Considering I sold mine last year for $50K, I am looking for something closer to that range. There is no way I would pay anything more for a 997S Aerokit, unless it was brand new with every option and 15K miles. Congrats, Don!!!

I would go to them and tell them what you are looking for. They sure do seem to have the resources to find unique cars. Over 20 Ferraris, couple McLarens, Saleen S7, lime green over lime green Lexus LFA, Gray Aventador...they seem to be able to find anything.
RJ was my salesman and was good to work with.

Yes I bought it from them a couple weeks ago. I think they are leaving it up there because it drew a lot of attention/brought in a lot of calls.

I feel your pain, I was in the exact same position three years ago. I sold the car before I even realized what a great car I had. The new owner literally pulled away after purchasing and I knew I had made a mistake. I played with other things in the meantime but it took me the better part of two years to find another one like it. I paid a fair bit over $50k but no way I'd sell it for less than $50k. Just a great car!

997s 07 50k?
U guys suggesting a 07 997s with aero and sub 18K miles can be had for 50k these days if patient? (cpo?) If so that is a great car for that money, I too regret selling my 997, I had the IMS and RMS done under warranty and car was bullet proof.... and modded to my liking... errrrrrrr.... miss that car.

and nice new aero picked up by other posted, congrats...
my 997 even sounded great!
