edgy Posted 16January, 2021 Report Share Posted 16January, 2021 Whilst I keep my eyes glued to the GT cars, I am merely a casual observer of the other variants... I have watched the 997.1 Carrera S reasonably closely... 997.2 not so much. I am looking into a replacement car for the old man, as he’s going to step out of the Macan GTS and replace it with something of similar value, smaller, and more fun, but daily friendly too, and hopefully near the bottom of its depreciation curve... so I thought; 997.2 Carrera 2 “S” PDK, even better if we could get one with a warranty still, and whilst it is slim pickings... this one came up: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2009-porsche-911-carrera-s-997-series-ii-auto-my09/SSE-AD-6882918 Seems like the kind guy I’d buy a car from.. but I am not sure on the $$$ has anyone transacted one lately? It seems like most good 997.1 Carrera S 6 speed cars are right around $100k neat, 30% is a bit of a premium for the PDK & other updates.. although it’s not unpalatable... but for an extra $30k again your into 991.1 territory.

Mik001 Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 .2 is probably not worth 30k more but not far off though. I had a .1S and quickly got bored of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik001 Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 Hey Jim I’m trying think back why the S didn’t do it for me. It was my first Porsche and I thought I would own it forever. But after driving it back to back with my other cars in the collection (evo 6.5, Sti V5, Rx7 spirit R and a few more) it was the least special. Probably the most capable Among them but I found I never wanted to take it out and it was my least favourite to drive. So I sold it and haven’t missed it. But I do think I bought the wrong model ie GT3 next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t888 Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 Slim pickings indeed - only 3 997.2 C2S Carreras listed and one is a UK import. The price isn't too far off what others seem to be going for, for quite some time, and as you note the ad reads well. There is a premium for .2 vs .1 in all markets. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911virgin Posted 16February, 2021 Report Share Posted 16February, 2021 ive been tracking 997.2 prices that car youre looking at is IMHO over priced esp with 100,000 kms for a carrera, not a Carrera S PCM sold one v quickly 1 month ago, silver, Carrera S 997.2 pdk, 1 owner, 40000kms, with sports exhaust, full leather, sports chrono, alot of options, for $140k drive away apologies, the car youre talking about is a carrera S, still overpriced IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911virgin Posted 16February, 2021 Report Share Posted 16February, 2021 Alex holland did that on a 77 yellow 911 sportomatic, he was asking $125k, then it went up $25k (after he sold a white sporto 911 from 1976 , whose price also went from $90k to 99k) strategy seems to be working for AH 14 hours ago, luzzo said: That was a 997.2 4S coupe actually. luzzo you are correct sir, it was a 4S.

edgy Posted 17February, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 17February, 2021 Looks like a nice example, but honestly I cant see the value in that at the asking price! $20-30k price reduction might pique some interest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luzzo Posted 3May, 2021 Report Share Posted 3May, 2021 New listing for a low km 997.1 C2S manual Coupe. Looks good on face value. "Price is firm" at $138,000. I am interested to follow to see if this is where the market price is now at..? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2005-porsche-911-carrera-s-997-manual/SSE-AD-7201676 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingporsche Posted 3May, 2021 Report Share Posted 3May, 2021 Claimed to possibly be the "cleanest" yet not one interior or engine bay photo - did he just wash it and therefore it's the cleanest? A cavalcade of pretty locales is one thing - at that asking there's 996 turbo hips and boost to be had. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it'll sit on the shelf and gather dust... not exactly an exciting spec or colour? The Atlas Grey one that CTS had with PCCB too a while to move at a similar ask.
