That's a good deal. Wasn't the accident just hood damage from a lift?

I dunno. Anything that gets reported to CarFax seems like an issue because you can never unwind from it.

I had an inaccurate odometer reading on my 1985 911 because whoever entered the mileage after an inspection screwed up, so it put an exception into the database.

I fixed it with the Mass RMV, but it was still very difficult to address.

Similarly, when other people are spending their money, they get damn picky and rightfully so. A car without any issues is always easier.

Nah… I have seen worse via a CarFax for a 997.2 and they some how still do well. My guess is bad timing for the closing. Realistically it should have brought $80K+

Some observations while I was looking through the 997.2 owners manual this morning to find the proper tire pressures as the sticker on the driver’s door jamb is fully loaded pressures at 37 f, 44 r.

Interesting. Especially interesting is that the PDK vanilla 911 beats the manual S…

It's been nearly ten years that I haven't had my 997.2, but I remember something like 34/40.

That's how my 991 is set up. I've lowered the rears to 38 a few times and everytime i get it back from my mechanic it is back to 34f/ 40 - 42R

You got it…. 34/38 for the 18s and 34/40 for the 19s on the C2 and C2S.

Dealers always set it too high I go with the Comfort pressures I think which is around 32 front and 36 rear or something close to that.
