Looking at 997 Cab. Need help

Hi all,

I'm thinking about picking up an '08 997 Cab with Tip (for the wife to drive also...). The color is GT Silver/Sand, one owner, 8K miles, Adaptive Seats, Chronos, controls on steering wheel, and a few more opts. The only mods are bulit in K-40 and Fabspeed exhaust. Private sale. He's asking 135K. It was a 156K car with mods. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

Ted.

$135k won't buy one in Dallas. Cabs are still strong. Don't like the color, but I won't get to drive it.

wallmon is infamous around these parts
Looks like a deal if the history checks. I wouldn't wait around too long or you'll lose it.
BTW, how many miles??

Thanks Guys,

It has 8200 miles. The Doctor bought it until his GT2 arrived. It's a one owner and I know him indirectly.

Is GT Silver not a good color? What are the best colors for the 997 from a retail point of view?

I have a line on a Black/Black Two Tone also.

Thanks,
Ted.

Silver is good. I just don't like the color. Personal preference. Black is better, even in the market. Park Place in Dallas has an 08 black/black 2 tone interior. VEEEERY nice car. Saw it Saturday.
8200 miles is a little steep.
