Would 8 owners and delayed servicing put you off?
Discussion
I'm in the market for a 997.2 C2S.
I want a manual but am coming round to the idea of a PDK. Possibly!
So, I'm looking at a beautiful car at Ashgoods: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2024032178...
I'm still not sure on the PDK thing, but other than that, it ticks all my boxes (apart from the steering wheel, I'd need that swapping for a Sport Design item).
However, given it's had 8 owners and 2 services in the first 5 years, would this put you off? Much as I hate resell talk, it's an issue I have to take into account...
Decent (my spec - full leather, PSE, sports seats, preferably no rear wiper) manual 997.2s are like hens teeth, so keep waiting or seriously consider a PDK?
The other one that ticks my boxes is the black manual C2S with an aerokit. Currently up at £60k, despite not selling at £56k and £54k a couple of months ago: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2024012960...
Opinions please...

Some good replies, thank you!
Best to wait for a good manual then...
If anyone has or knows one coming up for sale, please DM me or put a post here.
Minimum spec MUST be: PSE, extended leather, <40k miles, sports seats.
My nice to haves would be: PCCBs, no sunroof, no rear wiper, painted centre console, Carrera Classic wheels, LSD, sport chrono, sport shifter and the newer sport design steering wheel.
Much appreciated all!

Simply because it's over my budget. It didn't sell at £54k over winter, and on face value, with the spec, mileage and OPC warranty, you'd have to wonder why.And it's black!

Yeah, I saw that on Autotrader last night, still well out of my range. 99.9% sure it's the one I originally noted and IMO at least £5k overpriced. Look at what other Porsches (or other marques) you can get for £55k...veetwin said:
Please go and test drive a PDK and a Manual and judge for yourself!
I drove both back to back some years ago, and while I saw how good the PDK system is on track, I've always enjoyed the manual interaction more. For now, I've had a word with myself and will only be entertaining a manual car. The only exception to this would be a 991.2 GT3 RS (but that's never going to happen without a lottery win).Again, thanks all for the replies, some sound advice, which is exactly what I was after
