Planning on upgrading my 996T 2004 model Tip with 36k miles, Lapis Blue with black leather, what are your thoughts
on valuation against say a £50/55k 997T, in terms of px, as I am assuming a private sale will be painful. And realistically
what premium would a private sale generate.

The other car I have been thinking lately is a PDK C4S, any opinions would be welcome.

As a starting point, I noticed 911v have a nice low mileage 997t in within your price range, so why not give Tom or Henry a ring and see what part-ex allowance they would give you.

Worth a call surely ?

PDK will be more fun to drive than tiptronic 997 Turbo but slower of course.

Call all the dealers to get a price on your car, you will be surprised at the difference then bare in mind the car you are p/x against.

Having had a PDK recently for a day, I agree the driving experience is totally different, clearly not as quick as a Turbo but
in the real world I doubt I will notice. As for getting px prices on mine, I have started enquiring and the results are all over
the place, lowest to highest delta around £4k, but its all to do with how much money they have in the car I am buying....

I will continue with my search and in the meanwhile once my car is serviced next week I may pop it on the classifieds whilst
I am deliberating to gather interest.
