mbedford Posted 3July, 2021 Report Share Posted 3July, 2021 Hey guys, sorry to say, it wasn't me that bought that lovely example 997.2, at $300k+ it was a bit out of my comfort zone. Search continues for me... 997 gen 1 or 2, pref. touring spec, pref lots of the tasty options, consider any colour but black and silver really, I like bright colours for my sports cars, white included. Anyone want to sell or know of someone, pls let me know, money's all ready. Cheers all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know what that is . I paid what someone wanted to get the car I wanted and just about to spend another $10k to get it right . My car will cost $260 K easy but it will be perfect. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think one has come up for sale since covid, at least publicly. They were 400ish 3-4 years ago but then some traded much closer to 300 when the market softened. I’d say still around the 4 to mid 4. At the end of the day it’s an 11 year old car and not yet true classics age. The pool of those who are prepared to pay that sum for a not yet classic, but aged GT car is limited. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure if was a 1 or 2 and he still has it, but I recall @skidmarks parking one up a few years ago at Flinders Lions club meet around easter a few years back in the best colour grey ( dark grey/ orange is the ducks nuts for me and would take the win as one of the best looking P cars ) . Obviously best P car there on the day as I saw it along with the best engine note of the day. I think he just landed it as well at the time (had it for a few weeks) That said, it was an RS day for him as he had it parked up against a orange 991 with RS stickers if I recall correctly. The engine note surprised me,. It was was super loud when he went up the main drag but obviously road worthy. May be worth seeking his counsel. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d not have a moments hesitation in buying that 997.1 CS and driving the absolute shit out of it if I wasn’t such a 996 fiend.

The rubbers are all perfect so need for replacement there . I need to replace the brake rotors they have heat cracks in them so pads and sensors as well and car is due for service the tyres also need to be replaced. The non essential is half wrapped and ceramic coat . Most of this could possibly be left for a little while but for me I would rather get ii all done before so start using it SS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
