Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone, I was looking to buy a 997 turbo a couple of years ago and in the end I went for a C63 AMG. Whilst I love the noise the car makes, I am after something a bit sharper and have again come back to 997 turbos. I have been looking at these cars for probably 5 years so I think its something I need to get out of my system! I like the silver colour and would probably have black wheels, its just a look that I like. Anyone got any photos of this? Also, I noticed this car for sale... http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p... The prices seem to vary a lot, for example, this seems about 5-10k cheaper than similar mileage models, any reason why? Finally, with my C63 I had a warranty and although it never went wrong once it was good peace of mind to have. I'd be looking at exhaust, mapping on the turbo to get a bit more sound and grunt. Am I signing into a potential money pit? Thanks, Andrew

It's an HWM car. I'd google HWM first before pursuing this car.

POST 4Original post

Yep cheap car if mileage is genuine. Wheels have been refurbished giving a slightly polished look. OEM are anodised and not as shiny. Quite easy to tell mileage as the car should be on original brakes, tyres etc at that mileage.Its ver low mileage. I do not think I needed anything until 25,000 miles on mine aside from rear tyres which I made sweat as long as I could. Cars more fun when tread is below 3mm in any event!

Drool... Keep the pics coming! Thanks

POST 8Original post

Personally, I think black or anthracite wheels look better with a silver rim. What's your budget?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Budget 50k, would prefer to spend less but seems if you want a decent one with lowish miles its 50k. Andrew

POST 10Original post

Don't really know the market, but at what prices do Gen 2 'manual' Turbos start? Think that would be my choice if I wanted a 997 Turbo.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seem to be at around 65k. I have seen them at 60k but not recently. Andrew
