At least one of those sites had the link to the carfax report, so double check me on the exact timing.

I never knew that I would run into so many clueless people when trying to buy a 911.

A luggage set, briefcase and key case made with the same leather as the interior were also standard on the 40th.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Absolutely!!!! The sales person wanted to know my range. I told him $34-$35 IF everything checked out.
He mentioned that one wheel has curb rash and there are some chips in the paint. I need to see everything before making an official bid.
I drove this car a few months ago. It's fairly nice overall. A few observations: the tool kit was scattered across the interior and front trunk, spare not mounted properly, the car sports snow tires that were mostly worn and the carfax indicates it's been on the lot since sometime in 2007. There are a couple of nicks here and there in the paint. Seemed to drive pretty well. Salesperson indicated it would be CPO'd. If it were me, I definitely would invest in a PPI, probably with AA in nearby Canton, CT. Hope this helps.
this guy is really crazy. His response:
"WE PUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF NUMBERS IN A HAT AND YOU GOT $64888,LUCKY YOU.40 CARS ON A SPREAD SHEET SOUNDS A LITTLE SILLY.HAVE FUN."
My response:
"Why is keeping track of available cars silly? I am in the market for a 40th anniversary 911 and am trying to determine a fair price.
I wish you an equal amount of fun, trying to sell a 40th anniversary 911 for $65,000. Stick with selling Subaru. You are out of your sandbox trying to sell a 911."
I never knew that I would run into so many clueless people when trying to buy a 911.

This car has been on both Autotrader and Cars.com for awhile (which is how i originally found it). At least one of those sites had the link to the carfax report, so double check me on the exact timing.
LiveNupe's 40th for sale on rennlist sounds like it's in better overall condition with more options (no Bose on the one at Hoffman), though it's on the left coast.
Hoffman Porsche performed a PPI for the car I bought and did a very thorough job. I have had no suprises. If you are in the market for a 40th... I would also seriously consider Reggie's car mentioned above . It's in your posted price range and he's posted lots of info .GL
Here was his response:
Thank you for the information,I don't need to sell my car ( I have 4 others) there are 7 people interested in this car I have current offers
from 44k $ 47500 I can wholesale this car to a Dealer for the top offer,thank you for your offer
Interesting response from seller as this has been off and on ebay for months with never any bidders that I have seen. Either there are a lot of buyers all of the sudden or he doesn't need to sell and is just holding out for someone who will pay a premium for a low mile car.
I located a 40th Annv Ed for $41,950. Car has 6K miles. Not in inventory yet, but on the way.

this car is on consignment and will have the Porsche CPO transferred with the sale. Looks to have all available options. i was told by the dealer that the car is currently on its 5th owner. That concerns me, should it?
http://www.carsauto.com/detail.cfm?V...|911&ID=389949
$47k
10k miles
5 owners might worry me if the car has moved all over the US otherwise I'm not sure it would be a concern. What do you like more about this one than the Texascarsdirect car?
The car is on consignment. This is the response from the dealer selling the car:
I spoke with the Porsche dealer that sold this car last and he believes that there was only one previous owner and that Porsche of Fremont sold it new. What he explained to me is the car was a lease and the first owner moved across states. Every time he registered the car in another state it looked like a new owner on the carfax. When he bought the lease out that was yet another mark on the report.
I am waiting on a response from TexasCarsDirect. Last time I talked to them, they did not have any details on the car. I want to know service history, options, etc.
With 6,000 miles, here it is:
1) bought car.
2) put in a few tanks of gas
lol.
IIRC, the 40th anniv had virtually all the options available for it standard, and there were only had a few you could choose after that. Like upgraded seats, nav and rear wiper, maybe a couple others, but all the bigs ones were already standard. I'm probably wrong on this, but my mind remembered it that way
-td
I know it's not listed in the model guide but wasn't PSE an option too? Service history will be a problem unless you find the dealer who actually performed the service. My dealer says he could only search for service done by them. Maybe someone at PCNA has access. Open recalls, etc. can be accessed by any dealer. Let us know what you find out.
PSE was either not standard or the techs just forgot to put it on my car...
Most magazine articles, at the time, say they did some "tweeks" to the exhaust and intake but it's not PSE. I've read some articles that say PSE was standard equipment but I'm thinking that may be on the ROW cars... Can I get some help from my overseas 40th brethren?
I've been out of the loop and I'm just reading this thread for the first time.... lot's of activity. At any rate, to confirm rat9545's post, PSE wasn't standard.
YES, but it hasn't sold??? that's the wierd side of it......It's beautiful, no history, 40th, priced right and sitting.... How do you think I feel having mine, I know it will never sell.... (guess i will drive it till the wheels fall off!! )
GL Nupe !
Yeah go figure..... In this world, we have the pyramids, stonehenge, crop circles, the Bermuda triangle, and now LiveNupe's 40th that hasn't been sold.
Here's an old article I found on the internet. It looks like a ROW car and they mention that PSE was standard. I'm still guessing that it might have been standard on the ROW cars...

PSE was not standard on the 40th Anniversary nor was a short shift kit --- They should have been for sure!
Here's a list I posted many many moons ago:
Standard features on the 40th (including X51 items):
Intake air manifold (in cast aluminium) with modified cross section
Adapted intake manifold pipes
Exhaust manifold with larger cross section and optimized flow characteristics
Cylinder heads with optimized inlet ports to eliminate any existing interference edges. Resulting in an even more uniform distribution of the mixture to the individual cylinders.
Camshafts with greater valve stroke on inlet side and modified inlet/exhaust valve timing
Inlet valve springs adapted to increased valve stroke
Modified bulkhead box in oil pan to ensure a reliable oil supply at the higher cornering speeds.
Additional oil scavenge pump (3 total).
Modified map for the ME 7.8 Motronic control unit (DME)
Polished exhaust tailpipes
The standard G96/01 transmission with limited-slip differential is fitted.
For additional cooling the radiators for the Turbo model are fitted.
Engine data at a glance:
Displacement 3596 cm3
Bore 96 mm Stroke 82.8 mm
Max. torque 370 Nm @ 4800 rpm
Power output 254 kW (345 HP) @ 6800 rpm
Compression ratio 11.3 : 1
Engine type M96/03 S
Governed speed 7300 rpm
I also believe that there were standard features on this car, that would of been options on a base C2. Two examples would be the painted center console and full leather interior. Does anyone know of any others?
A luggage set, briefcase and key case made with the same leather as the interior were also standard on the 40th. GT Silver paint was exclusive to the 40th, CGT and Boxster 550 commemorative edition.
Exterior paint (paint to sample), PSM and sport suspension were options on the 2004 C2. I didn't see the TT/C4S front bumper or the polished wheels in the model guide.
