looks like i will be picking her up tomorrow...
thanks for the kind comments, i'll be sure to post pics asap, maybe even a video

 

Nice car - phenominal options! I've been driving my 997 through this NJ winter, handles grrreat.

 

congrats!

enjoy and in good health

 

picked up the car today, and went for a nice drive up through north jersey on some country roads, which are usually very quiet

anyways, the car is freakin awesome and although it has been a while since I last drove a 997 (C4s), the X51 gave the 997 a nice wake up call. Driving around casually you would never see the difference, but in the upper rpm range the power was awesome and very satisfying... and that sport button, i hope it doesn't get tired of me turning it on...

here are a few pics from my phone, the car was a little dirty when i got back so only took a few snaps... also, im uploading a video, i post the link when finsihed

Enjoyed the drive...how fast were you going?

 

not really sure, was just cruising listening to that engine growl
i was shifting between 5-6k to maybe give you an idea, i know the roads pretty well and for the most part very little traffic

Nice to someone enjoying their car in this weather. The car looks great!

 

I was there today looking at the 2008 with 4500 miles and the 2006 with 21K miles. Took a drive in the 2008 C2S. The car was brand new. Just need to make sure I want to spend 68.5K on a 2008 with 4500 miles. It had all the "must have" options but no Bose. What are you thoughts on base stereo?

BTW - really nice guys to do business with.

 

I love those wheels congrats

 

yes, very nice guys to do business with and all the porsche's they have are in excellent condition. I also felt the cars were priced fairly. In comparison to other used 997's I have looked this was definitely in better condition in most with nice options so I grabbed her before someone else, and since I have heard they have had a lot of people looking at the cars since the last few snow storms.

I haven't compared the base stereo to bose. My car has bose and i definitely enjoy it, but not a must have option imo. If you like music, and good sounding music it's a nice upgrade, but not the best upgraded stereo i have heard, and for me the real music comes from the sport exhaust at WOT!

 

thanks, I'm having them painted black and red, should be cool when finished.

 

sounds good! I take it that's the X51 and PSE combination ?

Also here in Cincinnati there are nice, almost brand new 2008 C2S's going for mid-upper $60k range with around 10k miles, if that helps.

 

Yes, that helps, thank you. Not sure how to value such a low mileage 2008.

 

yes its the X51 with PSE, which i think is included with the X51 option.
