Carrera S. 20K Miles, 1 owner. Fabspeed Exhaust, header and intake. Stock everything else.

Black on black 6 speed with factory aerokit.

Thoughts on the car & price?

Seems reasonable on price but should be able to negotiate it down some.....I say go for it!

It looks great, but I have a soft spot for 997.1s with aero kit wings. I don't want to tell any ghost stories about the IMS issues; however, I understand that problems are more prevalent in garage queens with low mileage. True or not, it might be worth becoming a negotiation point.

Looks good, it's manual seats, not sure if you care. Price is good for a low mileage 997S with aerokit. They seem to be more rare and demand a higher asking price. I wouldn't worry about low mileage if it's driven once or twice a week. I would get a PPI and see if the RMS is leaking, common problem with low mileage 997's when it's not driven and parked for an extended period of time.
