    Congrats! Car is beautiful.

    WTH is up with that odometer

    "Someone" just HAD to take the car out for a ride??

    If my dealer delivers my 997 with 140 miles on it I'm going to seriously pop a valve

    Anyways best of luck with yours

    Don't leave it unattended in public places for too long!



    What was their explanation for all those miles? There's no excuse. I would be pretty upset over this. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner (or General Manager) took the car home, considering that this is the only 997S in Costa Rica and wanted to play with it. Most likely, the dealers took it for several test drives, with or without customers.

    If your Jedi mind trick doesn't get your car here by the end of the week then....

    "Execute Order 66".

    Re: Finally HERE today!

    Fargo, hang in there. When that day comes, you'll be smiling from ear to ear. I know I was.

    I didn't custom build the car. I just bought what they had in the panama dealership. and the costa rica dealership imported it for me. He explained that the car is tested, etc etc, when I questioned him about it. But I suspect that the 225km was due to them letting people test drive it.

    Oh well, its a distant memory, as now I have over 360km, and rising every day. Great car, fantastic board. Thanks again everyone. I'll post pics of the 911 in the back roads of costa rica shortly.

    Re: Finally HERE today!

    hey, good luck with that 997s in costa rica... i have been to costa rica. Becareful, as you know those drivers down there are CRAZY! The roads seemed pretty good, although I guess good roads arnt too consistant down there. Have fun with a very great car. Do you live in San Jose, or else where?

    Re: picking up my 997S on tuesday. Any inspection advice/tips?

    Check that CD player works and that it will go into reverse. Apparently those can slip through the final inspection process.
