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.

Do you mean 997.2? If so, prices haven't changed much for ages.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry yes too many beers on a Sunday evening, I did indeed mean 997.2! Interesting that prices have firmed when I thought they would drop with the 991.2. Funnily enough when I sold my 997.1 back to the dealer last year after 2 great years and 20k miles added to the clock... he was able to advertise it for sale for MORE than I paid him for it in 2013! That is mind boggling

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just wondered if anyone's seen any drops in 997 second gen PDK cars now the 991.2 is out? Thought it may be a good time to buy and less of a depreciation drop now that the car is effectively 2 generations old. Would be interested to hear the thoughts of those who track prices more closely. Edited by Hugo911 on Monday 18th April 00:20

Thanks all.....yes I absolutely friggin love it. My first Porsche! Lived in London for the last 20 plus years and scratched a very big itch. Lucky enough that I have some great country roads/lanes to drive it on. The chassis and powertrain combo is just perfect for that. Although I'd love to give a Cayman a go...I do wonder what a Cayman GTS/GT4 would be like in comparison. Much as I'd like a GT3 at some stage I am not sure it would be as well suited.

The GTS is unquestionably the sweet spot of the 997s and for real world driving on typical UK roads a non RS 997 GT3 is arguably no quicker. GT4 probably has the edge in these conditions helped by mid engine, GT3 brakes and front end....feels smaller and more chuckable than a 997 too. 991 GT3 is the king imo for those who don t mind PDK, although few roads offer the fantastic potential of the car. This is one....

I know of a superb 997.2 4S manual coming up for sale. Silver with black leather and adaptive seats. 40k miles. 2 previous owners, 21 months Porsche warranty. My brother's car. He is trying to value it this morning so any ideas appreciated - or PM me if interested. Will be up on Pistonheads classifieds next week.

Slightly different car but recently sold a nicely speced 60 plate gen 2 c2s Pdk with 21k on the clock for 45k privately. Which I thought was a very far price.

I was thinking around that figure. He is fastidious and the car has recently had major service, new belt, new clutch, battery, front dampers (warranty due to n/s weep) by Dick Lovett so ready to go. Plus the long Porsche warranty. Will post ad for him on here and see what happens.
