Pick it up today

[phillipj]

Pick up my new toy at 4pm today. Had a couple people call about my 996 but they were a pain in the rear so I'm just going to trade it in. :P

Can't wait....... :rolleyes:

I'll post current pics when I get it. These are from the dealers ad...

Thank you my friend.. The Porsche gods owe me one... :D

Love the interior. Is that "natural" color leather?

No it's "Terra Cotta" with black leather dash and door trim. I wouldn;t have liked it if it was all Terra. A lot of times Porsche does the entire interior in the same color including the steering wheel. That looks really bad in red..

This was a special order so the dash and doors trim and wheel were ordered black. This car was over $100k with all the options when new :o

I pick it up in 5 hours (but who's counting.) :jump: :jump: :jump:

[tekky]

5 now... love how excited you are!

I miss mine very much as well... didnt know how attached I was to it until it was gone... :(

but happy for you :clapping:

Thanks Sam!

You will have yours back soon and I hope you can get some relief on those labor charges!

car looks badass with that color interior. How much are they asking and how many miles? Also what year is this 997?

It's an 06 "S" with 17k miles. I got it for $53k. It has the full leather interior, Sports Chrono package and the Porsche Sport Exhaust. Most 06's I found were going for around $57 to $59k. This one was loaded and unique. Plus I love the interior as well. I think a woman owned it and used it for a shopping mule :D

Great find Phillip, I wish you the best with this one.

it made me sick when I came over and you showed me the oil in the anti-freeze (I think I threw up in my mouth a little).

Then you fixed it and then it tranny problems........

Good point! I don’t have the Sport exhaust. that might be the next project or maybe something else to increase performance.... hmmmm

Sport exhaust will not increase performance or horsepower - just sound.

I have the car and it's more than I even hoped. :D It's amazing. I was so happy to get rid of that troubled 996. Trading it in was the best thing I did.

The Sport Chrono is really awesome. The car gets to 100mph so quickly and easily. No rattles, squeaks, it's fantastic to have a coupe again.

After driving a car with no mods I can really appreciate how great the car is stock from the factory. I will not touch anything. No rockers, wings, springs, air boxes, Nothing... It is so much faster than any of my other Porsches I'm fine with it ;)

I have all kinds of Zaino products coming. I swore I wouldn't have a black car again but this one was too good to pass up.

It looks really sweet with the windows tinted. I'll take some pictures and post them this weekend.

No I can finally enjoy my car instead of worry about it.

Enjoy Phillip! :D

I agree with the black color comment. I recommend the indoor cover. I am using this for mine now and it keeps it clean for my weekend drives.

Posts pics when you have them.

Loren - Thanks for the clarification

Best

This has been a wonderful thread.

Kind of like seeing an old movie with a happy ending and everyone smiling as they leave the theater.

Phillip, as my dad use to say: "Keep it on the ground."

Bob,

As I fired it up early this morning (in the dark) the PSE growl and the smell of leather made me smile :D

I'm truly thrilled with this car. Thanks for all the kind words.

I'll try to take some pics this weekend.

Have a great labor day... ;)
