Difficult car to sell… super rare, super low mileage means it’s a collectors car only and that makes the number of actual potential buyers really really small. I know CC has its following but I don’t think it’s the right place to sell something that unique.
I sure if went to RM auctions it’d get pushed to the kind of people that are in a position to throw £500k at something “to look at”

Interestingly a 700 mile RHD example sold on there 2 years ago for £430k part of a large Porsche collection that they handled so I guess they have experience of being able to shift these cars, this one had around 350 miles less on the clock, which may make all the difference to the right collector but 500k inc fees seems all the money for a any 997 to me, but maybe the market is way above that however you'd think those that are in the market would also know when they come up for sale.

Maybe the owner wishes to sweat the value and it will be sold after the auction. As happened recently with a blue 992 GT3 ...

Very glad I sold my 997 in August - the market has really taken a dive since.

Have there been any more RHD sales in the last 2 years? - There was the PTS car at JZM - which I believe is the only C16 PTS 4.0 car, that was POA but there were rumours (unconfirmed ) that the price started with a 6...

the price for these are circa 450-500k max for somebody who really wants it. yes low miles but the market has topped out on these a few years back and they never go for more than 500k from what ive seen

Interesting to see where this ends up...

Can't imagine it'll be much fun on the road though.

[Ed.Neumann]

The manual 997.2 in brown (I really like that) with 53k miles finishes at £32,750, so around £34.5k all in, which is probably a fairly good price right now.

However, it didn't sell.

Well, you know things are getting tight when a manual 997.2 sells for £22,675.

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2008-porsche-9...



OK, 90k miles on it, but you would have thought it would have made more than that.

Bargain

Thing is these cars can throw a £5k mainenance bill up without breaking a sweat, they're expensive to maintain

I wonder why 2 of the instrument dials are at 90 degree angles from the normal setting!!..............?

This seemed like a fair price to me, I think the seller might regret not taking that if they actually did want to dispose of the car.

991.1 prices are falling and putting downward pressure on 997.2.

(Queue comments that 997.2 were the last of the 'small' 911s and have inelastic demand).

Thanks for the cue, I think 991 will dip below 997 values, the 992 will be the 911model of that size which holds up, the 991 just not very special and not a great drive.....

Reserve way too high, especially considering what that silver one went for. The brown colour might be rare but not exactly desirable.

I would say they are at the age now where I would hope to pay £5k straight away and in the back of my head have it that it might cost considerably more to get it feeling solid.

I think the bottom of the barrel 997 will be cheaper than the bottom of barrel 991.

To some extent modernity will hold out imo.

It's to put maximum revs and speed in the line of sight rather than hiding behind the steering wheel.

As for the way it will drive on the road, it will certainly be noisy but maybe little more than a GT4RS ?

I have a similar car which I drive on long journeys with ear defenders ... on the track it is at home

As well as the noise, I was also thinking it would be pretty stiffly sprung for the road

I do like such color, not shouty, but it needs good rims and a bit lower and wheels max in mudguards or how you say that, a good stance.

for example a few brown metallic maccadena or something, with different wheels, I would buy others but a Quik search so lol.
