good lord

total911 talking up turbo prices

who would have thought......

[harleywilma]

Plenty for sale,so don't know what all the fuss is about,and all the overpriced ones are still for sale...

Who knows? I have just put a deposit down on a 997.1 Turbo just in case :-)

If previous turbos are anything to go by, I don't think that good examples will be shedding value anytime soon.

My dad always said 'There's many a slip between cup and lip' which essentially means that (mixing my metaphors here!) I am keeping my cards close to my chest until the deal is fully complete. I am messing around with how it will be paid for as we speak (M3 just sold and VW camper on the market) as I wish to borrow as little as possible. I will however say that it will be 997.1 manual with low miles ;-) Collection date will depend on when I can finalise funding and when I can physically get there to pick it up as my work is site based for a few weeks at the wrong end of the country!

Join the club Steve . These manual late 09 cars gen 1.5 cars are fetching good money

Another good article on value in Supercars in EVO mag mentions the 997.1 manual as a buy.

997 Turbo values on the rise in Total 911 article .

Thanks

Even with recent prices values are now north of £50k .
997 chassis offers a more analogue platform for enthusiastic drivers to tap into.
For the purists the 6 speed manual gearbox.
The turbochargers are pretty special with the first variable turbine geometry .
Power 480 BHP 18 more than a GT2.
The car still looks great today .

I'm just trying to get a value for my 2008 997.1 turbo, for insurance purposes. The "What Car" free valuation has come up with a dealer price of £69,788; private of £66,085; P/X of £65,446; trade-in of £64,349.
The car's in excellent condition, with low mileage (12k miles), but are these values anywhere near correct?

They seem a tad optimistic.
Car is probably worth around £60k tops, however there is a similar car for sale in the trade for £68k which was sold by the original owner for around £54k

Hope that helps

With only 12k miles £60k seems about right for a good manual car with good spec

(slightly biased as that makes my high spec black/black 2018 manual with 32k miles about £55k)

Thanks. It's a very artificial exercise valuing a car like this - the values seem all over the place. All I know is that it was difficult to buy the car that I wanted in 2009 - If I had to replace it now, 'd expect to have to pay a premium for a manual 2008 with low mileage and excellent bodywork.
