2007-08 Turbo or 2011 Turbo S
Thinking about getting back into the P car world.
Had a 2011 GT3 and a few older turbos.
Im looking for the best bang for the buck.
No flames also want a tip.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Chas

The 997.1 TT with the Tiptronic gearbox is a great value right now. The PDK gearbox in the 2010+ 997.2 cars is very nice, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the 997.1 Tiptronic.

Resale value of a 9 year old high miles Tip is so far in the tank already, can't go wrong.
Except if you need a $6-8K coolant pipes redo, or have $1K CF pieces delaminating. Otherwise, bulletproof.
Speaking from 94K miles experience.

Marshal Goldmans has a nice 07 white coupe with 13k miles on it for 70
probably could be had for 67-68
I have a buddy that works there, Ill give him a ring Monday

That car has been there for months and it's the end of the year so you may be able to use that as leverage too. I saw it in person and it's very very clean.

Expect to pay a little more for a CPO'd version from a dealership. Which may include new tires, plugs, oil change etc... Pls make darn sure the PCCBs evaluated...as the expense to replaced damaged rotors is costly. I really do enjoy mine...
Good Luck!!!...JB

I LOVE my 997.2 PDK. It's the easiest to drive super fast car I've ever had. All my other nice/fast cars were 6 speeds.
The TIP would cost a bit less but if you can find a medium mile 997.2, as others have said, it could be in the mid to high 80's. I personally thinks it's TOTALLY worth the extra dough as the radio/nav upgrade is sweet as are some of the controls like heating and A/C ***** are nice on the newer car. And the center lock wheels or the other wheels on the 997.2, to me, look more updated and nicer than the 2007-2009 Turbos.
Bottom line is whatever you pick will be great. You have awesome taste in cars in general, as well. Why did you get rid of the 2011 GT3?

I'd say don't limit scope of search and then pull the trigger when you find a good one whether its a pdk S or .1 manual.
That silver S looks great^
