Our very own Rudy photographed and inspected this 2008 Porsche 997.1 911 Turbo For Sale, and here is his impression after driving this car during filming:

“After driving this 2008 997.1 Porsche 911 Turbo, if you had told me the car has a branded title, I would not believe you until you showed me the paperwork.  This car is an example of enjoying a well-respected, high-performance sports car for a fraction of the price.  This 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo pulled strong and did not have any squeaks or rattles. The brakes stopped the car quickly with no pulling, and the handling was what you would expect from a Porsche of this caliber. If you’re looking for a Concours-Caliber 997.1 Turbo, this is not the car for you.  If, however, you are interested in a serious track toy featuring a traditional manual six-speed transmission, this might be a great car to consider.”

The 6-speed manual transmission provides an engaging and tactile driving experience for those who appreciate the thrill of a manual gearbox. Alternatively, the Tiptronic S automatic transmission offers the convenience of automatic shifting while still allowing manual control when desired.
