The car did not have a critical, known issues updated. The Audi dealership did not bore scope nor explicitly state the issue (996.2 IMS bearing replacement) status. This would have made the experience a lot less stressful. Since it has not been done the effective price is our negotiated price plus the cost of the service to replace the bearing (and related work); about $5,000 total. The price was competitive, but not strong, given the known mechanical issue. I would have gladly paid more if they booted to do it. That said it was good experience.

Great value but was trying to find a manual, but got everything else

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carerra S Chrono sport package with tiptronic is an amazing ride. Normal mode feels luxurious and smooth, like a symphony is playing while you drive. However if you want power and are in the mood to move aggressively, click the sport mode button and you are on a whole new level of sport performance. The ride is exhilarating, and acceleration is second to none. Ill never drive anything but a Porsche again. Highly recommend for the sports car enthusiast.

Full options and much more comfortable than previous model The engine is just amazing .... I feel like my 997 CARRERA (normal) was very slow! The "Over-boost" option is a must and makes you feel you are driving a plane!

This car is absolutely amazing. My uncle has let me drive it a few times, and I absolutely love it. Driving through Los Gatos mid-afternoon with the top down in this thing is one of life's best. The shifting is smooth, the steering is perfect, the feel of the car is absolutely brilliant. I drove this car over highway 17 and had the opportunity to punch it around a few slowpokes, and it was the most incredible feeling in the world! If you have the means, i highly recommend one.
