From 2005 through 2012 the 911 was built with an internal designation of 997. The early cars through 2010 would be considered 997.1 and after that would be 997.2. These cars were a welcome sight after the 996 cars considering the front ends of the cars looked much like the Boxster and Porsche also had to get over the much dreaded debut of the water cooled engine after years of water cooled cars. The Turbos of this time were an all new AWD design and mated to a manual transmission made these cars are true supercar. This particular car is a unicorn in the fact that it is a very low mileage example with a true manual transmission set up offered in black over black with red accents in the seat belts and calipers. The paint is seriously like new with a fresh ceramic coat detail as well as a fresh tune-up. The HRE wheels are a sight to behold with a killer wheel size choice that properly fills the fenders. There is also an extended warranty that is transferrable until June of 2025. This car was purchased out West four years ago by an enthusiast that kept this car under cover when not being used and proper ownership. This car has never seen inclement weather and it shows. Everything about this car is ready to be enjoyed as it starts, shifts, brakes and goes down the road with anticipation of having a spirited driver behind the wheel. It has a clean carfax, all factory books, factory key and recent service as well as service shown on the carfax. You will not be disappointed as this to me is a collector quality car. There are some pics that make the car look purple, but the car is 100% Black, just the lighting and camera angle. Let us know if you have any further questions.
