raafrebel2 Posted 21April, 2019 Report Share Posted 21April, 2019 Hi. well having my sweet 2005 997s written off last month, I’m now looking for a replacement i would love to be able to afford a 997.2 , but it would have to be one of the imported ones or just a Carrera . man, there is some huge price differences to some of the cars around . I just don’t see 135k plus for a 997.1 being any sort of value.. u can almost buy a 991 for that much.. my last car was an auto with no sport plus ... but it was a sweet ride does the standard 997.1 Carrera with manual box and sport plus go as good as an S Tiptronic? There seem to be some great standard Carreras on the market there is also a couple sweet 997.1 S cars, in particular a red manual with all the fruit asking 99k. ( about 5-10k above my current budget). anyone know anything about some of the cars currently on the market? Or is anyone selling a good one? Im almost open to a standard Carrera as long as it’s a manual with sport Chrono ... ive only ever driven my 997.1S with Tiptronic gearbox so I have nothing else to compare it to any recommendations would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted 23April, 2019 Report Share Posted 23April, 2019 Specified 0-100 times for the 997.1 coupe is as follows: Carrera manual : 5.0 sec Carrera S manual : 4.8 Sec Carrera auto : 5.5 sec Carrera S auto : 5.3 sec So based on that a standard Carrera manual should go as good or better than a S auto. I have a Carrera manual and very happy with it. I’ve driven an S auto and it didn’t feel quicker to me. Although I didn’t drive the auto very hard so my opinion may be a little biased. My recommendation is to go test drive a manual and see how it feels. Sorry to hear about the write off. Good luck with your search for a replacement.

Peter John Posted 27May, 2019 Report Share Posted 27May, 2019 Give him a call- get a ppi done by Dave Brennan. If you’ve been looking for a while would you agree based on kms and auto, carrera model it’s an issue on price and also a high supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Nick spruik it on his Facebook page - so i would expect he thinks highly of it. And he is a hard marker!! Either way he would have a bit of history on it if you wanted details.
