(Just run high on the oval if it's very wet - each lane up has more grip than the ones below.

We did a FaceTime during the walk around and test drive.
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.

4 months of searching and a week on the truck from NC to CA and I finally have one in my driveway! Will get some proper pics posted this weekend if the weather holds. Shout out to RL member Mdsarch for going out of his way to look at the car for me. We did a FaceTime during the walk around and test drive. That plus the PPI really made it a lot easier buying a car site unseen.
Finally!! Congrats on the purchase, and eagerly awaiting your first impressions and review.
Also bummed about the LA weather this weekend - i'll be driving my P car to Auto Club Speedway.
I've run Auto Club Speedway in the rain - had a blast. It's pretty grippy!! I was on Nitto NT01's, and it's really surprising how fast you can go there in the wet. You'll have a great time! (Just run high on the oval if it's very wet - each lane up has more grip than the ones below. I walked the track - quite noticeable!)
I believe it's the factory chimichanga!!
Thanks B3. Switched out the MAF last night (seller and PPI were upfront it should be done). Car is pristine. In 2013 it had new LN IMSB, RMS, AOS, Waterpump, Low Temp Stat, Clutch, Flywheel, 997 shifter, plus a ton of ancillary stuff done.
I plan on a nice get to know her drive this weekend!
I'll post a pic of the sticker when I get a chance but the cert of authenticity it came with lists the factory aerokit, 18" turbo wheels (since replaced with 19" Champion RG5s), power seat pkg (driver and passenger), traction ctrl & ABS, LSD, Aluminum dials, Metal door sill plates with logo and stainless exhaust tips.
Glad it all worked out Bash, you got quite a car with all the work being done by someone who was a good caretaker of the Porsche brand. It was enjoyable speaking with the seller and getting to know him a bit and we plan to connect later when he picks up his 997.2. Happy to help!
Weather held today so took my new (to me) car out for a get acquainted run up Mulholland Drive, up the "snake" and out to PCH. Was able to get a few pics of mine plus my buddy's 997 and other friend's 70 AMX. The 912 & 914 we came across in the parking lot. Don't know the owners but they were good looking Pcars.
