MarkC4S said:I think there are so few because the first Gen 2 cars launched at the time (2009) of the financial crisis when people where cancelling rather than placing orders. I got a good one last year on the basis that it was a "keeper", powerful NA engine with manual box, just what people want when everything is now turbocharged. Good luck in your search, I am afraid it is something of a seller's market if you are set on this model.

The closest one I've seen which would the ideal car, is the car at 911 Virgin, which is OK, and I'm thinking about. It's of a modest spec, and the price is on the high side IMO-No knocking the car. The annoying thing is, buying private would save 5k, and if its an OPC warranty, then its a safe(er) bet. It seems you can't be too fussy on spec, but I can't warrant nearly 50k on a car that has nearly 50k miles.
Why are the prices of the C4S Gen 2 rising? I really don't understand. Are the dealers pricing them high, that and there is little available on the market driving the prices up? My initial budget has grown from 35k, now upwards, which seems to be the trait of many people trying to find their ideal spec.
I guess, I hope, that a decent car will come up, which won't of been traded in, and sold privately. I just may need to pay that price, in time I have to wait. I'm tempted by a PDK, but sold my RS3, as I just didn't get on with it. My last 997 C4S was manual with the OEM short shift-Amazing!

Personally I'd buy the 911 Virgin car. Looks a peach in triple black and low mileage manual cars like that do not often come up for sale. If you're worried about OEM PSE its not all that. Better off getting the bypass from Sharkwerks or Miltek via Chris at ABP Motorsport. :thumb:
