Hi.
well having my sweet 2005 997s written off last month, I’m now looking for a replacement
i would love to be able to afford a 997.2 , but it would have to be one of the imported ones or just a Carrera .
man, there is some huge price differences to some of the cars around . I just don’t see 135k plus for a 997.1 being any sort of value.. u can almost buy a 991 for that much..
my last car was an auto with no sport plus ... but it was a sweet ride
does the standard 997.1 Carrera with manual box and sport plus go as good as an S Tiptronic? There seem to be some great standard Carreras on the market
there is also a couple sweet 997.1 S cars, in particular a red manual with all the fruit asking 99k. ( about 5-10k above my current budget).
anyone know anything about some of the cars currently on the market? Or is anyone selling a good one?
Im almost open to a standard Carrera as long as it’s a manual with sport Chrono ...
ive only ever driven my 997.1S with Tiptronic gearbox so I have nothing else to compare it to
any recommendations would be appreciated
Specified 0-100 times for the 997.1 coupe is as follows:
Carrera manual : 5.0 sec
Carrera S manual : 4.8 Sec
Carrera auto
: 5.5 sec
Carrera S auto : 5.3 sec
So based on that a standard Carrera manual should go as good or better than a S auto.
I have a Carrera manual and very happy with it. I’ve driven an S auto and it didn’t feel quicker to me. Although I didn’t drive the auto very hard so my opinion may be a little biased.
My recommendation is to go test drive a manual and see how it feels.
Sorry to hear about the write off. Good luck with your search for a replacement.
Ill PM you contact details of a guy thats just about to put up for sale a 2008 997 Manual at what i think is a reasonable price (i have no affiliation with him or the car)
Around 100k. A little more for the right car.
looking for a manual S with sport plus , preferred no black interior .
Im also looking for an imported 997.2 S ... I’m not fussed about resale value as I’m buying to enjoy
Hi....been on CS for a while anyone looked at it or had a PPI done..
Interested to hear the guru's thoughts
Currently looking for my first purchase
https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2008/SSE-AD-6055856/?Cr=102
Give him a call- get a ppi done by Dave Brennan. If you’ve been looking for a while would you agree based on kms and auto, carrera model it’s an issue on price and also a high supply?
Nothing sinister mate! I saw Nick spruik it on his Facebook page - so i would expect he thinks highly of it.
And he is a hard marker!! Either way he would have a bit of history on it if you wanted details.
Thanks guy's....will give Nick a call tomorrow and have a chat
Yes i do think he's asking to much for the number of K's.
Anyone know of any low K private sale at the moment
Thanks
