A 997 Carrera s 2006 grey/black appeared for sale on Porsche Glasgow website yesterday and now the advert is no longer there. From memory it was about 46k miles and was def £34,500. Someone wasn't hanging about!?

They seem to go quickly with the 2 yr warranty security. I purchased mine this time last year off the uk locator before the pictures had been added.

blooming 'ell ...... Gen 1 3.8ltre

47k miles, no Sports exhaust, no Sports Chrono, no heated seats, no multifunction steering wheel, no rear wiper nor sunroof

38k !!

I know it's got a Porsche warranty.... but wow.

If you buy it you're stuck with N tyres, their battery, and if you open a packet of crisps inside the car they tear up your warranty.... smile

It is a bit rich compared to the one I bought from there last year. Mine is a late 2005 with all those extras, plus spots suspension, carbon ceramics and short shift. Paid 30.

Very strong money that, for an extra £10k I could have my mate's very nicely specced gen 2 C2S with 14k miles on. That should be low £30k imo...

that's nice - but i'm assuming they're going up in value if they think they'll get that.

1 year ago nearly to the day..........I got my 3.8S Carrera 2.......with the X51 upgrade and ceramic brakes, sports adaptive seats.

24 month warranty.

Valued at 40k by insurance.........it's a much better spec'd car

That was main dealer.

Sounds like a nice unicorn you have there. What year and what did you pay?

that's kind 911R - but not really. Loving it - and it was always a long term plan.

I've just spent 3700 quid on a detailing etc...........plus it's had a new clutch, exhausts under warranty.

It really is one of the best ones I've seen.

My beauty. Would love to compare and contrast with a power pack car.
