raafrebel2 Posted 21April, 2019 Report 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
Slick Posted 23April, 2019 Report 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.
raafrebel2 Posted 24April, 2019 Author Report Posted 24April, 2019 Cheers.. I definitely want a manual.. there is also a pretty big price difference across the whole range . Some are asking nearly 991 prices

mopinox Posted 27May, 2019 Report Posted 27May, 2019 Hi....been on CS for a while anyone looked at it or had a PPI done.. Interested to hear the guru's thoughts Currently looking for my first purchase https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2008/SSE-AD-6055856/?Cr=102
Peter John Posted 27May, 2019 Report 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?

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.
mopinox Posted 28May, 2019 Report Posted 28May, 2019 Thanks guy's....will give Nick a call tomorrow and have a chat Yes i do think he's asking to much for the number of K's. Anyone know of any low K private sale at the moment Thanks
