2005 Porsche 997S Launch Edition

2005 Porsche 911 Description

This 2005 Porsche 997.1 Carrera S is a rare and desirable "Launch Edition" in black with black full leather interior and a few go-fast bits. Much loved and well cared for by an avid Porsche enthusiast and PCA member (me). I am the third owner. I purchased the car used from a Philadelphia, PA area Porsche Dealer (Porsche of the Main Line) in August, 2010 with 31K miles on it. I have a full service history on the car since 8/2010, and it was dealer serviced prior to that, so the history is available. My records includes a binder of all receipts under my ownership, window sticker from 2010 sale, Owner's Manual and my own mileage log that recorded every tank of gas, oil change and all general maintenance. Two keys with remotes. Non-smoker. Always garaged. No track time. No accidents. No dings. No repaint.

• Full black leather interior
• Adaptive sport seats with Porsche crests (power, driver memory, heat)

Known issues:

• The 3M clear bra on the front lip of the hood was installed poorly in one small(~3" x 4")section and has some ripples. It has annoyed me, but not enough to replace.
• The front tires are more than 5 years old, and while they have plenty of tread left, they are showing some tiny shoulder cracks indicative of their age.
• There is some minor curb rash on the both passenger side wheels
• The soft-touch coating on the temp and fan controls has softened and turned sticky (removable with some effort andprofessionallyrestorable)
• The black coating on the center console (surrounding the e-brake) has softened, and while not tacky it has scratched in a number of places (easily replaceable)

The combination of the V-Flow intake and the AWE full exhaust gives the car an amazing soundtrack and a surprising amount of extra "seat-of-the-pants" power over a standard 997S; lets you enjoy the full sound of the flat 6 the way it should be heard. I will be sad when this one goes, but I am ready for something different. I am happy to show the car in Houston. You will not bedisappointed. Please email to coordinate.
