Troubleshooter Posted 7March, 2018 Report Share Posted 7March, 2018 7 hours ago, OUTATIME said: Definitely! Fully loaded and from what I’ve read the Chrono may actually improve the tiptronic. While it doesn’t do a great deal of things on the manual apparently it does a lot more on the auto with shift patterns (I’m not a techie.. yet) Problem though the market seems to kick tiptronic 997.1 models pretty hard regardless compared to manuals. An excellent ride despite this especially if you added quality flappy paddles instead of the buttons for manual mode. Sports on a tip greatly improves it, even though a tip is still pretty good (just that PDK is better). The market aint in favour on tips in 997 S I know that. 15 hours ago, TINGY944 said: This has to be value with the spec sheet? https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2005/SSE-AD-5279618/?Cr=4 Nicely optioned but IMO PCCB are a disadvantage. Nice bragging but can be a problem if abused, re chipped. Thorough PPI required just for the brakes. at around $6000 a pair of discs they need a thorough inspection and if owning you have to look after them re wheels off and wheels on. Also IMO they don't feel as good on the street as the usual S brakes and they can (not will or do) squeal quite annoyingly in traffic and sometimes have to keep slamming your brakes sharply every 5 min to stop it. Incidently the same launch model (manual) that sat there on CS for 2 months at about 95 to 93K finally moved. It had one (two?) chipped PCCB discs that a PPI picked up ... also 2 major overevs in range 6 4 hours ago, P-Kay said: That's Carrera S money just sayin' P, it is an S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npvpositive Posted 20March, 2018 Report Share Posted 20March, 2018 It's a crazy world. Gold Coast Porsche put this 997.2S on the market on Friday: 2011, Carrera S, PDK, sports chrono, turbo 2 wheels, no other significant options, only 18,500 km. Big asking price though, $160k. I expressed interest yesterday. First thing this morning the sales rep sent me an email with a proposed price. Before I could respond (let alone haggle) he sent me a follow-up email saying that another sales rep had just sold the car. Total time on market . . . less than 2 business days.

Spectre Posted 22March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2018 Here's the 997 S in Sydney that we are looking at.

Great looking car - it went on the market around March 2 (ask me how I know ) but even so, a sale in a couple of weeks at the top of the price range is a good result and speaks to the car; the 997s look fantastic in white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npvpositive Posted 30March, 2018 Report Share Posted 30March, 2018 Suddenly everyone in Australia is trading in their white 997 GTS. Pity they all seem to have been specced with the centre lock wheels . . . I don't love the look on a normal 997 body and if you get a flat your'e stuffed.

npvpositive Posted 3April, 2018 Report Share Posted 3April, 2018 Nice car, and you won't see many with only 10,000 km on the clock, but I reckon he's $15k-$20k above market. If you paid the asking price plus stamp duty/rego you'd be in for ~$177k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
