After the recent thread where a forum member was struggling to sell his 70k mile manual 996.2 C2 for £16k (which he has since sold and needed very little work as I understand it) I am interested to see that similar cars being advertised by respected indies for £22k. Obviously dealers are going to be more expensive, but £6k!

Seems an increasing disconnect between private and (respected) trade cars - I think the C4S prices show a similar pattern, but not so much the 996.1s.
Perhaps this reflects the perceived higher risk of bore scoring/IMS issues with the 996.2 - so people are happy to pay a premium for a recognised dealer warranty/backup? :?:
