rufmichan Posted 5February Report Share Posted 5February For those who have been watching the market for longer than I do, what do you guys think is a fair price for 997.1 and 997.1 S manual coupe? I remember when I was looking in 2019 there were still sub-100k example, there was even high mileage one sold for around 60k if I remember correctly.. Now when I open carsales, they're all >100k?

tomk86 Posted 5February Report Share Posted 5February Anywhere between $90k to $120k for an S based on some recent listings on carsales. They are relatively rare and don't last long. rufmichan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been on and off tracking the 997 non S market since 2018/2019. 997 manual coupe 80K to 100k (dependant on condition, Kim’s and service history) 997S manual coupe 110k to 130k (dependant on options, condition, Kim’s and service history) There was an atlas grey with 145k on the clock that was going for 67k in 2019, I noticed it on car sales a few weeks ago for 105k and it disappeared with around 155k on the clock now. (New owner probably did the IMS and maybe other items) Hope this helps somewhat rufmichan and Harsh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewM Posted 16March Report Share Posted 16March Have also recently started looking at 997.1S s as an alternative to buying 18" wheels and new seats for my 996. Do 997.1s come in anything other than black or grey?! And the other thing I noticed is that none of them seem to have the sport seats fitted, adaptive or otherwise. Was this just never a common option in Australia? PS: UK cars are tempting cause of the lack of the sunroof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and Silver is the go to colour for most 997’s, very rare to see a white or red 997.S and yes you’re right in AUS the sport seats or adaptive wasn’t common to be ticked. Wonder if any of the brains trust knows what these options cost back in the day? Don’t think adaptive was very common on manufacturers option list back in 2005?

I set up a search excluding black, grey, silver etc. Found a cracker in Carmine red. Narrows the field and saves time. Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV89 Posted 19March Report Share Posted 19March https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2005-porsche-911-carrera-s-997-manual/SSE-AD-16879125 This one was for sale for a while, the current owner bought it a couple weeks back and listed it for sale within a few days. He's added yellow calipers and half cage. Aus delivered, has had engine rebuild (IMS failure was the cause) and seems like a nice car. Kms are a bit high....I was considering but the quick sale in concerning, maybe it has an underlying issue 🤷♂️ sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 19March Report Share Posted 19March Didn’t realise it was only purchased recently. What was the original asking price before this owner. Does look ok value if all checks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t888 Posted 20March Report Share Posted 20March Looks to have a fire extinguisher too under passenger seat? Kinda hard to believe the roll cage is just for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants an old school Mazda, like an RX3 or similar. 13 minutes ago, t888 said: Looks to have a fire extinguisher too under passenger seat? Kinda hard to believe the roll cage is just for looks. The cage only just went in, like within the last week. He fit it even after deciding he was going to sell 🤷♂️ Seems like good value but I feel like there may be more to the story. sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll rummage around and see if I can find the invoice for mine as it is a highly optioned car. I've put it away for safe keeping about 10 years ago and haven't seen it since From memory my car was ~$240k drive away.
