997 GTS Prices and Specs
Discussion
Two threads in a day!
So after all the helpful advice in the "Kids in a 997 GTS" thread it looks like a 997 GTS is going to be a viable option as a daily driver.
I had a quick search but couldn't find any relevant and up-to-date info, so my next question is what have GTS values been doing over the last few months? And is there a "desirable" spec for a GTS?
I see a few have had the alcantera deleted and had full leather instead. Is this a positive or negative for most? And very few seem to be specced with the -20mm Sport chassis and locking diff option. Does there seem to be any preferred spec regarding manual v PDK, similar to how Cayman R's are more desirable as a manual car?
Finally, any personal observations from current or previous GTS owners? Any advice appreciated. Anyone got a Carrera 2 GTS they are thinking of selling?

Thanks Andy for that info. Patience isn't my forte I'm afraid!
I like the look of the Bristol car. Perfect colour for me too.
One final question (for now): the centrelocks. I'm sure I've read somewhere that the 997.2 GT3 centrelocks need some kind of regular maintanence. Is that the case? Do the hubs carriers or nuts or something need replacing at regular intervals?
And where can you get the wheel nut torque multiplier from?
OK, that was 2 questions, sorry

Regarding centrelocks and regular maintenance, see the 3rd post down in the thread under this news article..

Does this apply to tracked GTS's as well?
