997.1 vs .2
I don't think the 997.1 vs .2 analogy is applicable here because their are several widely reported fatal flaws with the .1 engine.
2014 is very low mileage but still seems priced high to me... It's a nice build with good colors, manual transmission, full leather, but no 18-ways, no sport exhaust, no spasm, etc.. Not really any different from a 2012.5 you might find with a few more miles at $70-$75K. Not a particularly special car, not a 4S, not a GTS, not a ducktail or aero car. Not trying to be negative about the car, just evaluating it from a pricing perspective. All Porsche's are 'special' in their own way! ;-)
The 2017 is, for good or bad, the first year for a new (half) generation, and historically they end up worth a bigger than average 'one year newer' price bump then most years... Eg: 2009 997.2 commands a fairly big premium over 2008 997.1, much more of a bump than a 2008 has over a 2007.
Value aside, have you driven both? Do you really like the refinements and engine differences on the new turbo .2's? Do you prefer the slightly more analog feel and traditional exhaust note of the .1? Did you feel the .2 base had plenty of power for your wants and needs? Which car is a better deal is irrelevant if it isn't the car you prefer to drive.

Popped up on my search yesterday. Miles are higher than we are used to seeing, but not crazy, and to me not at all a deterrent for those of us looking for a daily. If I was ready to pull the trigger, this would be a hard one to pass up.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion too quick.
