For the past 2 years I have thoroughly enjoyed my 2011 997.2 TTS with factory Aero Kit. It is the third turbo S I have had and 2nd 997.2 TTS. I had a small note on the car and decided instead of paying it off I would sell the car and downsize in overall price and not owe on a car.

The hunt began as I started getting offers for my tts and I went from 997.1 and .2 C2S 6pd coupes to 996TT of the same. Both cars I had owned in my past and loved. But then my best friend offered me his White 07 TT with 36k miles on the clock and all the desirable upgrades one would have wanted when new.

He did a stunning job with pwr mods and cosmetic mods and suspension and stereo. The car will need a bit of Love and Care but nothing more than some paint and clear bra among other minor things. AND IT'S WHITE! Every time I have searched in the past a white 911 escaped me. Now it's mine and I could not be happier.

Photo of my beloved 997.2 TTS going to RAC Performance in Dallas. I cried like a baby as they loaded up this car Friday but today has been a wonderful surprise because I really wasn't sure if my friend would actually part with his White Ghost and he did. I am forever grateful. Better photos once I clean her up.

I am sure I am forgetting something but I just have to give thanks to Christ Jesus for such a blessing that I do not deserve! And another big thanks to my AMAZING WIFE that puts up with me as I go tunnel vision on the hunt for cars. Honey I'm BACK

 

Nice!!! Looking forward to more pics

 

very exciting -- congrats

 

These are the best stories, specially when it works out! I love me some White 997's but I am bias

 

Nice! Congrats!

 

Nice TT! Did you go from PDK to 6sp in this one?

 

Congrats

 

Thanks! Yes I sure did. The .2 TTS cars that I had are absolutely amazing especially for DD. I suspect they can do track and drag strip just as well although I only did one of each in a 2012 I had prior to this last 2011 I just sold.

The 6 spd does bring back quite a bit of fun factor in driving even when I am just putting around. A concern of mine was that I saw values for .2TTS cars way to SOFT for what they are and what they cost new!

Figured I would cut bait now while I had a chance bc I did not want to be at 55k miles and the car only be work 65-75k on a 185k car msrp.

I think that I will be able to keep and enjoy this one for years to come and when it has 55-65k miles sell it for what I paid. I think .1 and .2 tt's with 6pd and GT1 block are on the way up.

My estimation is that at that time I'll be able to trade mine for a .2 TTS 11,12 or 13. Maybe Even get money back as equity. A dealer paid me 90k but after the tax savings on trade I came out about 94-95k on the deal. I paid 113k in Sept of 2014 and the car had 19k miles on it. I sold it with 31,500.

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

 

Subscribed for pics. Would look great with the 997.2 rear facelift

 

Oh yes it sure would. BUT, I am going to have to hold on the modding bug for now. Where would I even get that? I guess I can search but I assume it's a different bumper cover, rear lamps etc….

 

No need to mod anything else imho. She looks great as is, time to upgrade the avatar and signature

Congrats!

 

Nice congrats....

 

Sweet!!!!!

 

Very true. I'm several cars old on that one.
