Looking for a daily drive, maybe a 997. Views on this may prove helpful, thanks.

It's a bit pricey and will depreciate quite heavily. Is that important to you? It does have a big spec if that's what you want.

As above basically. Huge spec, looks like every option ticked so wouldn't be hard to sell (relatively speaking).

Looks like you'd be paying quite a hefty premium for the very low mileage and my gut feeling is that you'd lose 3-5k trying to sell it privately the moment you drove it off their forecourt. Others may think differently though

I like it, I like the alloys if they are in perfect condition, and the interior certainly looks more special. If its what you want and the price is not an issue then go for it!!

the red stitching all over the interior makes it very special.

there's a lot of extra leather.

lovely.

I like the red dials, not a fan of the alloys. Way over priced imo.

Don't pay much of a premium for a lot of high-cost zero-value options

I absolutely love the red stitching smile

It's not great value though, and given that you're so close to 997.2 territory I'd second the view of spending a few grand more for one of those.

Especially as a daily driver.

But it is a lovely car. If you're buying to keep, and therefore not overly concerned about residuals, go along for a look and follow your heart.

Great news if you have a red stitched leather fetish. Not doing anything for me though
