2005 997S Launch Car

It's time to part w/ my pristine 2005 997S Launch Car.

I've owned it for over six (6) years (March 2007). I'm the second owner.

The car has had all the Porsche maintenance actions and/or recalls required for that manufacturing build.

I'm sort of **** about my car(s). This 997S is not my primary car and thus it gets driven mainly on weekends and/or to car events. I've put almost 20K miles on her in the 6+ years. It's never sat outside my garage at night, never valet parked and I'll walk 1/4 mile to find the 'perfect' parking space. Do you think I'm ****?

I've attached the details in the PDF file & some photos of the car for review. I've made subtle or refined modifications as you will note.

There are no stories, issues or accidents. I have all the service records and receipts for the time I've owned the car. This car is as perfect as a 2005 997S can be. The PCCB's as you might know are a $9K option and should last the life of the car.

I'm an avid PCA member as well.

I will sell it for $46.5K just the way the car sits including two (2) new (unmounted) Michelin PS2 rear tires (295/30-19). The tires alone cost $1K.

I'm located in Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Any questions or inquiries can be sent directly to my email address . . . ap997s@gmail.com

As a former launch car owner I can say with certainty someone got a sweet example of a 911. I think I liked mine more than the 997 Turbo I had (which also had PCCBs).

It really 'loved' my 'Launch Car' and I experienced mixed emotions selling it. However, I owned for over 6 years and it was time to move on. It was a 'bullet-proof' car considering it was Porsche's first 997 offering. My buyer fell in love w/ it as well and promised to take great care of it. I'm now searching for a 2011 911 GTS. Must be white/black w/ PDK.

I'm going to test drive a Cayman S tomorrow just to see if that works for me. I owned a 986 Boxster S years ago but the new Cayman S is supposed to dynamite according to reviews.

Good luck with the hunt. I agree with you on CS, it is hitting all the right buttons.

s4e is infamous around these parts
Getz,

Curious what you liked more about the Launch edition than the turbo? I have a launch and lust over turbos.

Sounds like someone got a great car.
