Hi Everyone,
I am back in the market for a 997 Gen 1 Carrera S after selling my other one about 18 months ago.
Early stages of looking but ready to buy and I have seen one local to my self I am hoping to view next week.
I know the common things to look for in terms of IMS & Bore scoring.
Since I sold my last 997 it seems prices have slipped slightly so just wondering what people think the right 'market value' would be on a car with the below spec?
2006 997 S with 76k miles
Grey with black leather
Sun roof, Bose, sport suspension and couple of other minor upgrades
Gen 2 lights front & rear
6 previous owners
The car appears in good order with plenty of history. The garage selling it aren't exactly knowledgable in terms of the history on these cars so I am hoping that when I look through all the history there is some evidence of IMG upgrade or engine being re-lined but at the moment I am basing it on not having this done.
I will get a borescope inspection done prior to sale but its a nice looking car and local to me so hopefully the history stacks up.
It would come with 12 months MOT & Warranty, not sure what use the warranty would be but its included free anyway.
Based on the above what price do you think would be reasonable.
Thanks in advance. I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a 997 again and will keep you all updated
