No affiliation: Porsche 911 C4 Carrera 4

Below 25k. Have not verified, could be a scam.

Me too. The last manual GT3s, the last manual Turbos, the last of the Mezger engines... I'll be surprised if they ever drop in price.
Your only hope for a "cheap" Mezger is the 996TT. I suspect that won't last forever.

I would totally drive that car. It has good options (xenons, sport seats, short shifter, Carrera Sport wheels), well maintained with records, and seems to have been owned by a knowledgeable PO.

If that was a ragtop, I'd go look at it. Commuter miles are pretty easy on a car. I can't imagine it lasting very long.

If that's the market, I'll take a C2. :)

Anyone know what year Porsche switched from tiptronic to PDK in the normal 997s? Thanks. :cool:

Correct, 2009.

Ok, thanks. Just curious. :cool:

This has been for sale for over a year. It was 40k at one point.

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Clean Title

I suspect something is wrong with it. I think I Googled the number once and it came back as a dealer. Or maybe a scammer...

Some sort of scam prospecting for phone numbers? It's at least $5k too cheap, very well equipped, and lists a lot of good maintenance done. If it's for real, go buy it!

+1 Putting an anti-friction bearing in an engine is just a bad idea

LA: 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

If this downtrend continues, I may be in a 997 sooner... :) Hopefully lucky enough to avoid the IMS issue.

West side of Oregon. $28k.

The Carfax on this car shows that on Jan. 2013 this car was involved in an accident: "Accident reported Involving front or side impact with another motor vehicle minor to moderate right front damage reported minor right rear damage reported". This Porsche was issued a Calif. Salvage Certificate on 04/02/13.

Same ad, reposted: 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Clean Title

I should call them and fish to see if it's a scam.
