I have an opportunity to pick up a 997 Turbo at a fairly decent price. My delta cost would be ~$10-13K, plus another few grand in sales tax burn.
Here's the specifics:

- Mostly stock, cobb tune, a few minor (and reversible) cosmetic mods
- Very well, sorted, cosmetically A, you have to look pretty hard to find a blemish inside or out.
- Extensive service history, multiple owners.
- Projected ask price upper forties?
