At least where the 7gt2 vs gt3 is concerned, the gt3 is the considerably better car to drive imo, more focused and responsive to the driver and would be my pick between the 2 everytime. The 7gt2 is bloody quick though and has a heap of torque (albeit with decent lag).

Just sold a 996 turbo S and bought a 996 GT3 - a far more special drive
Could of bought a GT2 but real world driving the GT3 is more rewarding .
The turbos need to be on boost to get exciting and then you need an autobahn or
Nurbergring ..

It looks very nice apart from the boy racer bits in the engine bay

This bears a very close resemblance (mileage / spec) to the car for sale up north recently at a dealer for £10K less that was mentioned on the "be cautious" thread?

Is the airbox even a Porsche item?

Appreciate there will only be a finite amount of low mileage, non tracked cars out there, but £100k for a Comfort? Even i'm surprised by that.

If neither the black one from ASM Performance at £70k, nor the JZM ones at £77k (comfort) and £85k (clubsport) are selling, I think that suggests something.

Seems like over supply all round. 991s are sticking at £160k, 997.2 RS at £160k and regular 997s at £70-£80k. It's got to be those that bought in on the way up over the last 18 months thinking they will fly off the shelves come the silly season in the spring and it's just not happening. If the track day demand is already fulfilled, these cars are going to struggle to find homes at these kind of prices I would have thought.

I enjoyed the GT3 test drives but seriously? Criticising the turbo because you have to be on boost? Of course but the N/A has to be spinning like a lathe the whole time to get anything close to the pick up of keeping the GT2 at just 3-4500.

(Btw it's could have contracted to could've)

7GT3's still look decent value to me, especially when compared to the 991. If you look at Euro OPC's there's now just a 20-30K Euro price differential between the two (7.2GT3 around 120K and 991GT3 around £150K). In the UK it's closer to 70K - 80k Euro!

No aircooled, GT3 or RS look good value.

The 996 turbo, 997 turbo and 997.2 are still reasonable value (as are the Spyder or GT4 if you can get one).

Does that somehow preclude it from being a nice car?

Is that the same £10k you've had to spend refreshing your Spyder and Cayman R?

And all the time you spend on here and you don't know your smiles! ;-) drop the - for wink

Not on cars 1/2 the age and 1/2 the miles no ! ;-P

my faces have noses.

you just have to go into these things eyes wide open as 10 year old cars are 10 year old cars and if nothing has ben spent you can say £10k will be needed over the next 2 years on them min.

State the obvious. You need to go into buying any car with your eyes wide open, especially a performance car as it's likely to have been driven faster. Get it checked and understand what needs doing.

Just because nothing has been spent, doesn't mean you will have to it could have led an easy life (but that may present other issues).

I don't buy this automatic £10k spend, it's a long standing joke!

Care to justify the £10k with a breakdown?
