Vehicle Description
Development of the 997 dates all the way back to 1998, which was
two generations of 911's ago. The early cars were ready for testing
as early as 2001, so to say they wanted to get the 997 cars perfect
is an understatement. These cars were built from 2005 through 2013
and had some big shoes to fill as the previous generation 911 would
receive a lot of back lash from enthusiasts over the transition to
water cooled over air cooled power plants. The 996 would also
receive some criticism for its front end styling pretty much
matching that of a Boxster. When the 997 came out it felt like all
the insecurities were completely gone....People loved this car but
they were not quite happy with it yet and the 997 would go through
some pretty significant changes dubbing the car the 997.2. Some of
the changes would include a new engine with direct fuel injection,
revised suspension, a new PCM, new headlight and taillights and the
new PDK automatic replacing the aging tiptronic are some of the
updates to name a few. This particular stunning 6-speed manual
cabriolet spent most of its life in the dry south before moving to
Northern Michigan recently to be used as a summer driver. However,
the consignor's car plans have changed and he switched to another
Porsche. Yes, this 997 has been driven over a 100K miles, it
seriously shows like a car with about 50K on it. The consignor is a
PCA member and is part of Porsches Panorama magazine. The car shows
extremely well and only has one minor ding on the carfax, which
happened to be a slight entanglement with some road kill. There are
no lights on the dash and appears to have never thrown any codes.
Everything works flawlessly, the interior is spectacular, the top
operates as it should and the manual transmission is a blast to
drive. It did have a new clutch and flywheel service done a couple
of years ago and is ready to be enjoyed, the tires are newer as
well. This Porsche comes with clean title, all owners manuals and
both sets of keys.
