They are on the up big time, dragged up by Turbo and GT3 values, and why not? They are a great
car, and still at an affordable value for money price.....
Do you know that something like only 10% of these models suffer the issues described above, and crucially
almost all of them sub 40000 miles, if you find a 60 70k car chances are it wont need doing ever, don't listen
to all the drama, don't get sucked into it

Hmmm

Sold my 2002 C4S with 70,000 miles on and full Hartech rebuild and upgrade for £16k two years ago...

Just bought a MY52 C2 996;

54,000
Full SH - OPC/Specialist
MO30 - Brand New all round
IMS LN Bearing
PSE
Sport Hardback Seats
BOSE/PCM2.0 with 2015 Maps
18" Carrera Wheels
Bassalt Black with Black interior.
Auto Mirrors/Wipers
mObridge bluetooth
About 15,000m in the last 4 years...

£21500

Looking 3/4 years ago you could have picked up 20-40m cars for 16-20k.... it's nuts. It will be used as a summer car and i'll buy a snotter for the winter, hopefully value will maintain but I have bought it to drive.

Nice car, however someone saw you for it, paid too much IMO

I was quite particular with my wants and desires in terms of spec & maintenance... looking through the classified there isn't much that can be had thats facelift, coupe, pse/m030/ln bearing, £10,000 spent in last 2 years type car.. for under £20/21k... and at the end of the day, if you could have got the same for 1-2k less, is it the end of the world?

good history is something you cannot create, so yes it allows great peace of mind.
Having owned a good few gen 2 cars they are sharper and more nimble than the C4S, a
great drive, hope you enjoy it
