Colour may be an issue come resale time if such things bother you and it seems a bit expensive to me.

Is it the unwritten rule that all Turbos are either silver grey or black then?

It seems to be very low mileage.

The tinting on the windows doesn't look legal, but it could just be the photos.

i have said in threads before that all I do is push my right foot forward and hold on for dear life - So I dont think it will be too bad for someone who doesnt have a pilots license.

I think guards red is making a big comeback, plus as cars get older people often want brighter more interesting colours!!

Red is the new black you know, best colour for a 911.

My car is black and I like it a lot but would have taken red over it. Looks great to my eye. Very few around when I was looking. But with non-black cars I'd get the side skirts sprayed to match. Really lowers the look of the car. With 9000 miles that car will hold value fairly well I'd say if you intend to use it regularly.

I'd say the colour would draw me towards it rather than put me off, but then again I'm another Guards Red fan!

Buy it. you know you want to. smile

It is on the pricey side for a 2007 car. Personally I would be looking for a later 2008/09 car with the later PCM3 system .......and it would have to be a manual ! wink

If you like the colour then go with it. There will always be someone else who wants that colour down the line, and perhaps with less choice actually make it more desirable to someone.

Guards looks great on any 997 in my opinion. Turbo it looks fab and is nice rather than silver or black. Cobalt blue also looks very nice.

.... and here's a later tip with PCM 3 and all the toys for at an amazing 53k and low-ish miles.
