Gen 2 (59-plate) 997 S now sub 40k or mistake?

[Gibbo205]

Hi there

Spotted this in the classifieds and am pretty shocked it's either a bargain or a mistake as Gen 2 3.8l S cars all seem north of 50k but this is sub 40k:-

A true bargain methinks or does this car have history?

[Bill Stein]

Maybe he just wants to sell it before the next ice age ?

Well ignoring the fact that it's brown and has a light brown interior it's the mileage as people just don't like cars that have been driven.

Mine has 46k on it, Aug 09 reg and I would expect it to get trade bids of circa 35-37k.

Bit of a 70s colour scheme, but I actually like it.

Non pdk, which was the main point of the gen 2

Yeah, apart from the new (non IMS) engine with more power, revised chassis/suspension, vastly improved PCM and Phone/Ipod connectivity, and updated front and rear PU.

I tried to get a look at a 991 yesterday at an OPC. My mistake, they are still not released and the first cars are apparently "touring" the OPC network. Had a look at some used OPC cars which are representing value the like of which has never been seen from Porsche main agents. Oversupply? The economic climate?

A 997 Cab, 58 Plate, big spec, 12k..£46k from an OPC. Never thought I'd see the day. A decade ago a 2 year old car was worth much the same as a new one where 911's were concerned.

You must have a manual

Indeed, lovely especially with the short shift.

You can get a black on black, pdk car with <20k miles for early £40's private - so not sure this is a great bargain ??

I am a bit strange as I like this Macadamia colour!

Its certainly a cheap car, when you consider that its lost circa 50% of its value in 2 years! And its a DFI too.

Whether its a 'good one' is another matter entirely.

Jesus - 911s with Kia depreciation !!!

[paul0843]

Macadamia also for me.. Prefer it over black/ blue default colours
Fantastic value for money..I reckon that in five years it will still be
worth £23-25k

[Callughan]

Nice colour and price, unsurprisingly pdk are generally more in demand.

I love that car!

Macadamia looks a lot better in the metal than in the photographs, it is actually a cool colour. We repainted a guards red 993 to Macadamia for a customer, I was pleasantly surprised (and relieved) to see it when it came out of our bodyshop.

[Nano2nd]

whats the front splitter?

I bet that looks gorgeous. Any pics you could share?
