Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a black full leather interior, this launch-year Porsche 997 Turbo Coupe features a quick Tiptronic S transmission paired with its twin-turbocharged Mezger flat-six engine. The car was originally sold from Prestige Imports of Lakewood Colorado equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package, Adaptive Sport Seats, and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel in leather. This Turbo has been registered in Texas since 2013 where it is now being offered for auction while showing just over 42k miles on the odometer.
The wide Turbo-specific bodywork is characterized by rear side air intakes, unique bumpers, and a speed-activated rear spoiler. This Coupe is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and rides on factory 19” 911 Turbo wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport tires from 2010. The seller describes the exterior to be in excellent condition with a few cosmetic imperfections including hairline cracks in the headlight lenses. A layer of original clear paint protection film was recently removed, and the exterior has been treated with ceramic coating. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, this Turbo features a black full leather interior including Adaptive Sport Seats with exclusive leather backrests. Other options include heated front seats, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel in leather, an extended navigation module, a telephone module for PCM, and a remote 6-disc CD changer.
A twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine provides up to 480 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque to all four wheels. Equipped with the optional 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, the Turbo accelerates from 0-60 MPH in as little as 3.4 seconds. This example also features the optional Sport Chrono Package which enables a temporary overboost function for increased peak torque. The CARFAX report shows maintenance history including a major service by RS Motorwerks in October 2022 with a new water pump, crankshaft oil seal, coolant flush, and an oil change.
This sale will include a clean title.

Hey Pcar,
check the RS Motorwerks info, I am not sure how that got in this description. No clutch here
@ccole44 I am researching this RS Motorwerks info. They are located in ATL GA. This Turbo has lived in CO and TX. Perhaps its a correction from the writers at Pcar. Maeks sense since there is no clutch here to discuss!!
Brakes were done at 33k miles. They are sitting at about 60 percent. You are correct on the tires. I left these tires on the car because it validates the mileage and also allows the winner to get whatever tires they prefer. I am a Pirelli guy yet the Pilot spots are more common on the turbo's. I can not say the plugs were done at 30k. I will call the Porsche dealer in CO tomorrow.
@SilverRose Delayed response (owe you a beer)!
I did price them, they are not that bad. I found several in the $395 - $500 range. There is NO moisture in the light themselves. I had our ceramic detail guy look a t them real close. They are hairline cracks.
@markjohn can you tell us what service RS Motorwerks completed on the car since it is impossible to replace the clutch where one does not exist? Also, how much tread is left on the tires? With date codes from 2013/2013 and cracked sidewalls I'm guessing not much. Does the wing operate as it should? What about brake pads/rotors, what kind of thickness is left on each? What services have been completed (20K, 30K, 40K)? Were the plugs changed at 30k miles? Has the brake fluid been flushed and when if so?
@seller - any details on those headlight cracks? Never seen. Have you priced replacements? Had to re-do my 996 GT3 lights and it was $3,500 per side

"The CARFAX report shows maintenance history including a major service by RS Motorwerks in October 2022 with a new clutch, flywheel.."
No, it doesn't, and that would be impossible anyways.
