Hi everyone,
I have just signed up here looking for some advice, due to a change of circumstances it looks like my 997 will be going for sale this summer
Having purchased the car just over a year ago I have cherished it and covered about 2300 miles (300 driving back from buying it!), its a second car and has been garaged since October. It will be back on the road March with a fresh service and MOT. Rather than waffling on it maybe easier to list the main points?
- 2005 (54/lower tax)
- 3.8 Carrera S
- 63,000
- Manual
- 4/5 previous owners (need to check)
- Guards red - Immaculate, I had it detailed last year and will again before sale
- 19" multi spoke wheels
- 4 near new tyres
- FSH - Will come with a fresh service from Porsche specialist
- ** Engine rebuild 3000 miles ago by Portia craft, new cranks and cylinders re-lined, plus a few other odd jobs while engine was out**
- Upgraded oil fed IMS done while engine was rebuilt
- Plenty of extras like Sat-Nav, Sport seats, Chrono plus pack, Bose, Alcantra headlining, head light washers, phone connectivity.
In the last year the coil pack has been changed, new suspension bump stops & new AC condenser plus a couple more jobs (wear and tear).
Big folder going back years with a details history, receipts, old MOT, old sales receipts and of course a full engine rebuild receipt. It took me months to find one this clean and with all the extras and work carried out, I actually done a 600 mile round trip for it.
I have had a look online and there is some 'basic' similar mileage 997's for around 23k and others similar to mine with the rebuild and extras for about 30k which I think is too high? (maybe wrong).
Realistically what do you all think its worth based on the above?
I am planning on advertising it around June time to hopefully get a buyer within a few weeks/over summer.
Gutted to be selling it but need a bigger car so considering a Panamera or X5 M50d.
Thanks
