This Turbo presents very well overall with no evidence of paintwork or accidents known with the paint meter reading 2.7mils to 4.0 mils throughout. All of the panel gaps and fitment appear to be factory. There are some flaws commensurate with the miles and subsequent use, please see notable flaws for list of issues. Overall the condition can be described as good and inviting given the mileage.

All glass appears to be original with only the windshield having pencil-point chips. All of the rubber seals, gaskets and plastic elements are in good condition overall. The front lip having recently been replaced and flawless. The headlights and taillights are likewise in good order with no issues to note.

The wheels are the now-iconic factory 19” wheels found on the first iteration of the 997 turbo. It should be noted that the center caps are showing their age and each wheel contains a minor blemish of some kind (see photos), but we feel it would not be worth refinishing as a car that is intended for consistent use or even to be daily driven.

Given the milage it is not unexpected for there to be some flaws, as follows:
This car benefits from a clear bra covering the front third of the vehicle however the clear bra is older and slightly faded and has multiple blemishes, one or two of which has gone through the clear bra and has likely affected the paint-Please see photos. We have noted a couple of dents that would benefit from PDR which can be found on the passenger side rear wheel arc as photoed, and driver’s front fender just forward of the gap, as photoed. The rear lower valance and lower section of the rear bumper have some gouges as photographed. There are a few minor scratches to be noted: the driver and passenger’s door edge, hood, rear quarters, and roof. None of which we feel are worth addressing and the car can easily be enjoyed as-is.

The black leather interior serves to complement the understated exterior in a fantastic way. It remains in good condition with some signs of wear indicative of the mileage and overall normal usage. There is some scratching and wearing of the finish in high traffic areas such as above the driver's side window regulators, the driver’s side sill, the ignition surround, and the center console. The driver's side seat shows some creasing and wear of the bolster but seating surfaces remain smooth and free of any major issues. The gauges are clean, clear, and easily readable. The remaining buttons and switches appear in good cosmetic order. The headliner is tight and free of any blemishes except for the A-pillar where it meets the roof/headliner, there are some scratches present as well as at the top of the B-pillar where one would grab the seatbelt. Lastly, the seat backs also show some minor blemishes.

Overall it appears that everything in the interior functions as it should and remains in good cosmetic and mechanical condition. There is an aftermarket Alpine head unit mounted but the factory head unit is included with the sale of the vehicle. The doors open and close with ease and the windows move up and down as they should along with all other electrical functions, knobs, buttons, pulls or switches.

The engine bay appears to retain all of its original equipment and benefits from regular servicing. The only exception to this would be the Rennkit e-ram which has replaced the original hydraulic system for the raising and lowering of the rear wing - a common and sensible upgrade.

The front trunk area is clean and tidy with well-fitting panels and carpeting. The accessories such as the air pump and Porsche branded charger are stowed away neatly in their respective cubbies. There is some very minor scratching on the plastic cover for the battery compartment which is the only real issue of note.

The underside appears as expected for the miles. Minor scratching and wear in places, but no corrosion or major issues to note. Moving to the rear and inspecting the drivetrain we do see some minor seepage from the transmission which appears to likely be the transmission pan seal. Something that should likely see attention in the next few thousand miles or so.

Thanks to its meticulous servicing, this Turbo remains in excellent mechanical condition. It starts with ease and settles into a smooth idle. On the road, it makes excellent and smooth power with no stumbles or issues to note.

The transmission shifts smoothly between gears and presents no issues.

The brakes feel very responsive, with an excellent and firm bite and bring the car to a smooth and controlled stop. The suspension is compliant and firm but not harsh and does not present any odd road behaviors or noises.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 305/30 ZR19 in the rear 235/35 ZR19 in the front, all with date codes of 2022 and retaining ample tread life.

Although it lacks the highly desired third pedal, this 2007 Porsche Turbo should not be disregarded. It is still a fantastic car, both to drive and be driven in. The Tiptronic transmission is still highly responsive and gives this Turbo a bit more of a Grand Touring feel. With its ample storage space and comfortable driving characteristics, this 2007 Porsche Turbo is the perfect vehicle to cover miles in a fun and exciting manner. Thanks to its meticulous service history it should present many worry-free miles for any future owners.
