Congratulations! You finally have taken the Porsche Red Pill and will never look at cars the same way again! I have owned a 2006 997.1 Carrera 4S for 14 years now. Purchased with 6k miles, pristine/new condition. 14 yrs later, now it has 95k miles, and I still love it! It still thrills me and looks so good rolling down the road. I have driven the newer Porsches and although they may be faster and feel newer with the latest tech/gadgets, I have yet to be able to justify upgrading for the price difference. The joy to drive versus price of admission is just not there for me to upgrade. I love the 997/987s that much. Great, simple, beautiful cars. Great spec you got. Enjoy in good health!

Congrats Stef. Just bought my first Porsche 4 days ago. It is a 991.1 Carrera S convertible. I have come from a long line of Mercs with the last 2 being a SL500 and a SL 63. There is no comparison to the Porsche. The 997 and 991.1 share the same NA engine so I get the joy of listening to the engine from 6K revs upwards. Enjoy and keep up updated. The SL63 had 585 BHP but the Porsche is a different level. Power without control is nothing!

The 997 is very nice but definitely more refined which is very welcome but my 996 is so raw in comparison and definitely feels more nimble with it being lighter and 2wd. Still in the honeymoon period and hope I get through it or I may keep the 996 and let the 997 go 🤦🏻♂️😑

Also, I couldn't agree that the 997 shape is by far the best looking 911.

My dad looked for ages for his g series, ended up calling into the Porsche centre near to where he was at a meeting in Corby, sales exec showed him a few in stock, including the one he bought - it was stunning condition, and had his dream spec (leather, sports seats in nice colour, good stereo, alarm and immobiliser, whale tail, sunroof etc. The dealer said they’d bring it down to Surrey when they could but he picked it up 3 weeks later when he finished his deal and loved it so much he kept it for 20 years.

The 997.1 suspension is very similar to the 996.2. Big handling improvement, and steering sharper (the 996 steering is better than 997). The ride was firmer but not hard, compliant and great damping.

Great car and good video. It looks fabulous and the paintwork clearly well sorted. Ceramic finish gives easy care, but the same quality finish is achievable with paint correction and non-ceramic coatings. The coatings just need reapplying, so more work, but if you love the car that's a Labour of love and adds to the ownership experience. The downside of ceramics is often glossed over (pun intended) and that is that they eventually degrade and then in order to correct the finish it needs to be cut off because it's an integral part of the paintwork. I wouldn't ceramic a car like this.
