Advice on 997 turbo
Discussion
I’m getting that feeling that I need to change my 2017 991.2 Carrera manual.
Despite it not being a frontline car, my wife would still like the ability for us to put the 2 kids in the back occasionally, so GT3s are out sadly.
I’ve had a look at this 997 turbo in Wilmslow today. It’s one of the most expensive in the country, but has a very low mileage and they’ve been looking after it for years themselves.

It’s on at 75K and I’ve been offered 61K, which I don’t think is too bad really. I’m not a lover of the black wheels but they don’t look too bad in the flesh and could be changed.
I’m going to digest it and probably have a drive later on in the week. Me feeling is that over time, this may prove to be a little more exciting to drive than a ‘bog standard’ Carrera and probably hold onto more of its value, giving me more options should I decide to change again in a couple of years.
Any tips/advice would be welcome.

Thank you for the very useful responses.
I think the value in the car has some question marks over it, given what's been said.
Apparently it's not a SOR vehicle and was traded in against a GT3.
I do enjoy a manual gearbox, which is why I'm interested in this model. If I could get over this problem, then I would be happy to pay more and go to a 991 turbo or turbo S.
My inclination is to keep looking for now and not jump in. I'm keeping my eye on a few non Porsche options also, given that the whole Brexit scenario seems to be having a very negative effect the value of a lot of models, opening up a bit of a buyers market.
