Dear all,

I am within 6 months of trading in current ride, Alpina B7, for my first Porsche. I've begun my search and came across this ad. on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-PORSCHE-911-TURBO-SPT-CHRONO-ADAPT-SEAT-MACADAMIA-/130523060221?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1e63c7d7fd

Would love to get some input on this vehicle in terms of color, mileage and price. Few things that worry me are the mileage, 3 owner vehicle and I believe the factory warranty will expire in December, 2011. How much will u pay or should I look elsewhere. I've never seen a Macadamia colored Porsche though the pictures and interior looked pretty stunning. Thanks in advance!

 

If I may give some input on Macadamia, I really love the colour. It's pretty rare and looks very classy. Some people say: "A brown 911, nah". That's until they've seen one in real life and are blown away by it.

 

i would try to find a CPO car esp if you are willing to look at higher mileage cars, just my 2 cents

 

i bought mine 2008 997tt with 8000+ miles at $85k. The price on this one seems a little high to me

Prices have started going up in the last few months, and they are continuing to rise in the used car markets

 

If you haven't seen the color in person yet, I would check the Porsche forums and local pca club to see if anyone owns that color and get a look at it. I'd also see if any local dealers have it in stock or private sellers on auto trader etc.

 

Thanks for the advice so far guys. Will likely make a trip to ATL in a couple of weeks to see the car in person, hopefully some CPOs will pop up then.
