The price is unreal. Typically we would see them at 85k in that KM range for a 997.1 MT. There is a 6-8k discount for Tip cars. I certainly lucked out.

it was literally on AT for about 9 hours. I found it just after they put it on and as soon as my deal was done it was down. Serendipititius for me because I had been travelling for work and had not been regular on AT for that week.

Are you in Oakville? I am.

Look forward to it. Is there a P-Car GTA forum or group chat?

Every saturday, there is a Porsche GTG in the GTA - it alternates between Chapters/Starbucks @ 403/Dundas, and the wild goose restaurant in Mississauga. Even numbered saturdays are at wild goose, odd numbered saturdays (ie today, june 1st) are at 403/dundas. There is a dedicated thread to the GTG in Rennlist's Canada section.

Congrats, from a fellow 997.1TT GTA owner. A bunch of us saw that car come up on AT and it doesn't surprise me how quickly it was sold. Good work.

Congratulations!

I also acquired my first Porsche last year and just like you, I needed a Turbo.

I grew up street racing so the Porsche Turbo always had a certain sure around it.

I had a v10 M5, an e85 modded turbo GTR, a nitrous c6 z06....

all I can say is that I am very happy with the overall quality performance and prestige of my 997 turbo with the most basic of mods (europipe exhaust and Cobb OTS tune). I've always admired the Porsche Turbo and am very proud to own it. Plus it's one of the rare "sports cars" that I can drive year round, go out to dinner with my wife and toddler while getting a front valet spot, and chase down Ferraris on the parkway. Only true downside to the car for me is it's a bit small but that probably adds to the sporty character so not sure if I'd change that and...the exhaust note sucks...you need an exhaust asap. Otherwise it's pretty close to perfect!

I truly hope you enjoy your amazing example of a 997TT. Welcome to the club!

Awesome, congrats on your 997. Kline exhaust will be going on with Cobb PTF tune, ICs and meth. I did feel the exhaust note is muffled and subdued but that is likely a function of the twin snails.

Your car looks incredible, I love what you have done to it. Pretty stoked about MB, so lucky to have found one.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Looks like your car is an absolute rocket with what you have done.
