I finally made a decision that I want a 993 so my 997.1 C2S Launch Edition is for sale. I originally wanted an air cooled 993 a year ago, but I decided to give a water cooled 997 a whirl first and I mentioned this a few times in previous posts. I purchased the car from a Porsche enthusiast last year with approx 41000 miles and it now has 47850 miles. I have changed the oil twice during the time I had the pleasure to own her and just recently I had Hergesheimer Motorsports in Orange County perform the 40K miles service.

During the service, a dry water spot/trail on the water pump was discovered. Though the water pump was not leaking at the time, the pump was replaced anyway. I also had Hergesheimer replace the serpentine belt in advanced of the recommended 60K mile interval and they also performed a full brake system flush and replaced all filters (oil, air and cabin). I installed new Bridgestone RE-11s all the way around (305/30s in back) including 7/15mm H&R spacers front and rear (thanks Northvan) and a DFister exhaust mod. Porsche replaced the battery to the alternator cable (known issue) and the alternator as well. She is running perfectly fine.

I'm willing to air out the laundry here on the proper 997 forum because I believe in full disclosure and the prospective buyer should seek forum member support if needed. Perspective buyers, please perform a PPI and feel free to post results. I never tracked nor participated in any AutoX or DEs.

I plan to list the car locally in Southern California and I prefer to deal locally. All transactions to be in person at my local AAA office and Bank. I understand these requirements may take some potential buyers out of the loop, but I just don't want the headache. And if the car doesn't sell, well, then I'll have a 993 and 997 in the garage

I will update with interior pics shortly. But this is a non smoking car and the only signs of use is the wearing of the driver seat side bolster from driver entry. There are some scratches on the center console area (from a right hand watch wearing driver?), but overall, the interior is a 4 out of 5. The exterior shows slight scratches from the previous owner running through the car wash? or perhaps improper washing? I've always used the two bucket system and micro fiber material including an Australian duster from Moe at Glistening Perfection. There are a few nicks on the rear bumberettes and on the right rear fender and typical marring/nicks/rock pits for a 6 yr old car, but that is it. Also, the frumper shows the typical road rash. Otherwise, to most it looks new.

Nice car for the money. The yellow calipers look good.

 

Sharky-

I live in Los Angeles (Sherman Oaks), and I would have a strong interest in buying your 997.

Would you please give me a call at 818-788-8805

Thanks.

 

Any interest in a trade + cash if not yet sold?

 

Hi Sharkys,

Just curious if your 997 is still available. Thanks.

 

looks good. would love to take this off your hands.

is this car still for sale? and what color is it?, thanks, kevin

 

Sorry about the late reply guys. I really am unsure about what I'm going to do with this car. The more I drive it (roughly 600 miles a month), the more I like it. I'm looking for a third car right now and once I find what I'm looking for, I'll revisit the sale of this Launch Car. For now, I am no longer actively selling it.
