Deal is: you can't pick a Turbo or GT 997 (GTS' can be selected however).

4GTS or manual 997.2 4S for me. Meteor Grey Metallic. Only downside is what the depreciation would be!

Fire away chaps.

Sport Classic.


Just love the details on it.
(I'd rather have a GT2, GT2 RS, GT3 RS or a turbo, but its against your thread rules)

nobody buys a relatively modern mass produced car and not be affected by depreciation. its a fact of life.

I like the GTS but i'd go for the 4S.

Good stuff. How come the 4S over the GTS?

This. Never seen the need for 4WD except for the wide body and for the road the C2S is all you'd ever need. The 911 has a feel that no mid engines car will ever have and the C2S is the best compromise in the range as a usable, quick car, IMO.

On my third and would hands down choose a 997.2 C2S Manual, ran this one for two years and loved it, perfect car for all occasions, fast, subtle when needed, flash enough when needed, comfy. No need for the 4S, 2s has loads of grip plus the 4S looses front boot space because of the diff.

Sport Classic is a good call, but what about the exclusive Club Coupe?

997 Speedster, best looking 997 produced imo

Otherwise 4GTS as has everything you need to get point to point quickly.

I was thinking this too, but I've never even seen one- wonder how many we're built?

Sorry, not for me. I don't think the 997 cab looks that good, but the Speedster? Uugggh.

Something about a silver boggo C2 manual does it for me. With the 5 spoke alloys or the lobster claws not the fancypants Turbo ones that looks distinctly 'aftermarket'.

All the car you'd ever need and £25k.
