997.1 Turbo . . . . . . Wanted

[e12mat]

Gents,

I need your help, I've been looking for a really clean manual 997 turbo for about 4 months, in which time I've seen prices move from late 40's to early 50's.

I've missed out on 3 cars because I couldn't get there within 24 hours. It has even made me look at R8 v10's, more money I know but easier to find.

There is a nice 997 turbo for sale in the classifieds, it's strong money and doesn't have full OPC history which might limit options come resale, what are people's opinions?

Do people think there is any value in placing a wanted ad? Someone who might be thinking about a change and wants a swift and hassle free sale?

Cheers

Thank you for your advice, the next stage will definitely be engaging with a reputable dealer.

The only thing I struggle with is paying a wide spread for little work. For example the 997.1 I missed out on before Christmas was a low miles PCM 3.0 manual which is now at an independent dealer with a £7k premium.

Hence why I would much rather pay a fair price to a private seller i.e. Both parties get descent value.

Any suggestion of an alternative, I can think of few comparables for the money.

Nice 997.1 with a great history and a really good price.

My preference would be a darker colour and less miles.

Perfect spec would be less than 30k miles, PCM 3.0, manual, ceramics and full OPC history.

I know this spec is equivalent to a unicorn!

Hi,

I've just seen the big thread about the PM system not working. Quite a few of the people with ADs up in arms.
