It’s a shame it didn’t reach reserve but I’m very happy to still hold on to it for a while. You’re interested let me know. It’s a much loved car. Thanks :)
Hope everyone’s having a good post-Thanksgiving day!
Uploaded a picture from this morning. The new owner will love it I’m sure.
Bid in the amount of $45,000
@997GT3 Thanks! It matches the trim on a GTS, enhances the profile of the car....it's black Plastidip so if the new owner wants to remove it, it's easy to do so.
What's the paint material on the rocker and lower part of the rear bumper? Looks great!

The "custom exhaust system" referred to in the description by PCar = twin Fister (side) mufflers.
@eggsandwich Sharing a photos of the car this morning "as is"!

@BOCO Hi yes Porsche said it’s $640 to remove the seats and check the connector for the seat belt which they diagnosed as at fault. I haven’t done it but post purchase can sort out with the new owner to address if they would like. It hasn’t bothered me at all in my daily driving of this car.
Have you had the airbag light diagnosed?
A thoughtfully upgraded 911. Really nice build.
Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!
This 997 was my first Porsche and has been a joy to own. I bought this car because I wanted a reliable daily driver that wouldn't have any of the IMS issues, and was in super clean condition, never tracked or abused and certified by Porsche.
I love the sporty feel of it, the power that is there if you need it.
And on top of how it drives it's a car that makes you turn around and look back at it after you've parked.
If you like to fix cars for fun this probably isn't the car for you because everything has been sorted already - under the watchful eye of the local Porsche dealership. It was basically under the Porsche CPO warranty for the whole of my ownership so anything that was ever an issue was taken care of, and on top of that I added a lot of upgrades including new tires, new Fuchs, new sports steering wheel with paddle shifters, new brake pads, new brake rotors, new suspension - and all with less than 1000 miles on them. So it's truly ready for you to enjoy without worries.
I'm selling because I have an older air cooled car now and it needs all my attention!
Disclaimer - I wasn't able to review the ad before it went live (my bad not PCar's)...so I should mention a few errors in the description:
1. The last California emissions test was passed just a few weeks ago on November 1 2024.
2. To reduce the noice and vibration I removed the Sharkwerks center rear muffler component and restored the original OEM center muffler. If you'd like the Sharkwerks as part of the sale we can discuss.
3. To provide a softer ride I also removed the semi-hard RSS motor mounts and replaced them with Function First mounts that are closer to the more compliant comfortable OEM feel. Again, if you'd like those mounts as part of the sale we can work something out.
