Cheap because of the mileage, and most seem to want PDK in their 997 GTS.
That won't hang around for long (he says as he starts looking down the back of the sofa for a spare £50k).
It's a cheap car and manuals fetch more than PDK's now. I'll be amazed if that hasn't sold the middle of next week. That won't hang around for long (he says as he starts looking down the back of the sofa for a spare £50k).

The price obviously reflects its price but if you're buying it to use its a great car to buy as it removes the concern of putting miles on a low-miler.
When you think about it the discount/penalty for using these cars is mental....it's priced at say £25k under a car with 50,000 miles less on it. 50p a mile in depreciation....that's bonkers!

As I thought - SOLD! Deposit taken today. The price obviously reflects its price but if you're buying it to use its a great car to buy as it removes the concern of putting miles on a low-miler.

Sorry if this question has been covered (didn't have time to scroll through the 22 pages of this thread) but is a 997 GTS 4 deemed less desirable than the 2?
I am looking for a PDK car at the moment but with a sunroof which is seriously limiting the options. Also considering a 997 turbo PDK.
The most sort after car is a RWD Manual GTS Coupe...for a PDK car I really don't think it matters whether a 2 or a 4. Sunroof is a rare option. Good luck! I am looking for a PDK car at the moment but with a sunroof which is seriously limiting the options. Also considering a 997 turbo PDK.
I saw that 911 V car...does look strong money. Be very interested to see if they sell it quickly.
Paragon sold this car last week

£75k for a 28k mile PDK 4 GTS with Alcantara Delete ? Seems like too much to me even if the buyer got a couple of grand off.

A 997 GTS for £80k or 991 GTS for 10% more with half the miles... 
Indeed but it's really about whether you want a manual 997 GTS or a PDK 991.1 GTS. I don't think the manual 997 GTS is an £80k car despite loving mine. I also think the 997/991 debate is about whether you want manual or PDK. If you want manual I think it suits the 997 better and if you want PDK you try and stretch for the 991....especially because the PDK box is better in the 991.
PDK vs PDK is about a £20k price difference which makes more sense.
Two hours since a post praising a Cayman R and 911R's not posted a foilow up ?!?! He's slipping!
Very much agree with this
I was actually going to drive mine to Switzerland this weekend but winter proper is still with us (heavy snow forecast for when I arrive on Sat) and I don't have snow tyres on it so the Cayenne is going instead.
Very much agree with this

Having been fortunate to own a 997 GTS, GT4 and now a Cayman R I can comment as follows:
997 GTS - without doubt a sweet spot in the affordable (non GT) 997 range, fantastic interior (if alcantara), great engine, good looks and all the ingredients of a proper feelsome 911. I bought mine at £61,000 and thought it good value for money. Arguably a low mileage manual car with good spec is a £70k car but I don't see it as an £80k car. I had mine for 2 years and made £5 profit! That's £5, not £5k! Not a bad return on my 1st 911 ownership experience.

For me the 997 GTS as a manual car offers something the others don't....4 seats (means I can use it when out with both kids). I don't see it as an £80k car but there are only 100 of them and in "the right spec" quite a few less. I really love mine and it'll be interesting to see how it competes for attention with my 991.2 GT3 when it arrives. I still think I'll use it a good amount. 997 GTS - without doubt a sweet spot in the affordable (non GT) 997 range, fantastic interior (if alcantara), great engine, good looks and all the ingredients of a proper feelsome 911.

Just seen this pop up on RPM's stock alert
Manual, Carbon Buckets, 16k miles, Short Shifter.
Think it'll sell quickly even at £78k.
