We are pleased to offer this 2007 Porsche 997 Turbo Coupe finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black full leather. Debuted at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the 997 Turbo carried over the tried-and-true 3.6L Mezger engine design and was the first Porsche production car to feature Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbochargers. Configured at an original sticker price over $137k, this launch-year example comes equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission along with the Sport Chrono Package, Adaptive Sport Seats, a Sport Shifter, carbon fiber multifunction steering wheel, and exclusive seatbelts in Silver. A replacement engine had been installed by Porsche under warranty prior to the current owner’s acquisition in 2020, and the car has since undergone a full service, wheel alignment, and ceramic coating treatment. Now showing approximately 54k miles on the odometer, this 997 Turbo is being offered for auction by its owner out of New Jersey.
This Turbo comes finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and sports aftermarket red taillight lenses, window tint, and clear paint protection film over the front bumper, headlamps, hood, fenders, fuel door, and ahead of the rear wheels. Ceramic coating was also applied to the full exterior in February of 2021. The factory 19” Turbo wheels have been dressed in new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires within the last 1k miles. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The black full leather interior is complemented by an optional Carbon Package Switch Panel, rear center console in carbon fiber, carbon multifunction steering wheel, and seatbelts in Silver. Exclusive carbon fiber door finishers were also optioned from the factory and were both replaced under the current ownership. A complete list of factory options is provided below:
The twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six Mezger engine produces as much as 480 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The optional Sport Chrono Package is equipped, and the engine was replaced under warranty by Porsche St. Paul of Minnesota in 2012 at 23,413 miles. A corresponding repair order is available along with an invoice for a full service and wheel alignment at AIM Performance in February of 2021.
This sale will include the original owner's manuals, a set of two keys, and a clean title. Well maintained and generously optioned from the factory, this 6-speed 2007 example may very well be the 997 Turbo you've been waiting for.

Congrats. Great Car and good price. I'm surprised it went for less than $100K given that new ones are over $300K. Enjoy the car. I would have bid but I'm a bit far away.
@chillimd , with those miles and multiple owners it's hard to get to those number.
Nice car though.

@Stuttgart_911 my apologies I was not able to upload the readings, the whole nose is covered in PPF from the front bumper to both doors. No paint work
@Stuttgart_911 Disregard, thought there was another day left on this auction.
@Damonp997 - What ever happened to those paint meter readings? Any luck grabbing those? I know you said there was PPF on a few panels, but that pretty easy to decipher nonetheless. Thanks

Crazy valuation placed on low mileage 911's of any kind don't necessarily mean $120g for a car with 54,000 miles. I'm betting around $100g, but I've been wrong on a lot of these cars lately with them going higher than expected.
A 2007 Turbo 6-speed, albeit with much less mileage (16k), just sold on BAT for $147,500 plus the buyer's commission. This is a $120,000 997 all day long! Good luck bidding!

Come on in bidders - the water is fine! This is the last gen 911 that closely resembles an original (imho)! Good luck seller...

@Falcon01 I work all day on Saturday and have a full day planned Sunday, but shoot me a PM. Don’t mind showing the car if the scheduling can work for both of us.
I'm local, would it be possible for me to come take a look at the car in person this weekend?

@DrFG it was replaced with a Mezger.
As the engine was replaced in 2012, was it replaced with a Mezger or a 997.2 DFI engine?
Thank you
@ramielmansour based on the supplied RO notes, the previous owner heard an abnormal noise coming from the engine area. After diagnosis, Porsche found that the best solution to repair the issue would be to replace the engine under warranty. Can’t speculate on what the exact failure was or what caused it, however I saw it as an added benefit that the current engine is later production and now has just over 30k miles.
Why was the engine replaced?
@Julia2010 @ellisdenos Thank you! Carfax is posted in the photos. No accidents, clean history. No paint work. The entire nose is wrapped in PPF so meter readings will be skewed on those panels, but tomorrow I will be uploading a startup + walkaround video - happy to update the listing with some paint meter readings as well.
Any paint work? How is Carfax? Thank you looks nice

Hello! Thank you for taking a look at my 997. The car is represented accurately and has been amazing to me during my ownership. I'm happy to answer any questions that any potential buyers may have. Good luck and happy bidding!
