Time to buy a 911.2?
Discussion
Just wondered if anyone's seen any drops in 997 second gen PDK cars now the 991.2 is out?
Thought it may be a good time to buy and less of a depreciation drop now that the car is effectively 2 generations old.
Would be interested to hear the thoughts of those who track prices more closely.

Sorry yes too many beers on a Sunday evening, I did indeed mean 997.2!
Interesting that prices have firmed when I thought they would drop with the 991.2.
Funnily enough when I sold my 997.1 back to the dealer last year after 2 great years and 20k miles added to the clock... he was able to advertise it for sale for MORE than I paid him for it in 2013! That is mind boggling

Thanks all.....yes I absolutely friggin love it. My first Porsche! Lived in London for the last 20 plus years and scratched a very big itch.
Lucky enough that I have some great country roads/lanes to drive it on. The chassis and powertrain combo is just perfect for that. Although I'd love to give a Cayman a go...I do wonder what a Cayman GTS/GT4 would be like in comparison. Much as I'd like a GT3 at some stage I am not sure it would be as well suited.

The GTS is unquestionably the sweet spot of the 997s and for real world driving on typical UK roads a non RS 997 GT3 is arguably no quicker.GT4 probably has the edge in these conditions helped by mid engine, GT3 brakes and front end....feels smaller and more chuckable than a 997 too.
991 GT3 is the king imo for those who don t mind PDK, although few roads offer the fantastic potential of the car.
This is one....
I know of a superb 997.2 4S manual coming up for sale. Silver with black leather and adaptive seats. 40k miles. 2 previous owners, 21 months Porsche warranty. My brother's car. He is trying to value it this morning so any ideas appreciated - or PM me if interested.
Will be up on Pistonheads classifieds next week.

Slightly different car but recently sold a nicely speced 60 plate gen 2 c2s Pdk with 21k on the clock for 45k privately. Which I thought was a very far price.
Thanks. I was thinking around that figure. He is fastidious and the car has recently had major service, new belt, new clutch, battery, front dampers (warranty due to n/s weep) by Dick Lovett so ready to go. Plus the long Porsche warranty. Will post ad for him on here and see what happens.Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
