Default Thoughts on this 997.1?

What are your thoughts on this car: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...modelCode1=911

I am looking at replacing my 2006 911S that got wrecked. This car has the sports crono. I knew at what time what all this was but its essentially just a clock right? Appreciate the help, I've been in the F-car world for awhile and need to get back up to speed on my P-Cars

It's a stopwatch, not a clock.

Sport Chrono offers some other benefits, especially for Tiptronic or PDK cars.

Geez guys.....lots of wisecrackers (Like me haha)

Seriously, If you are interested in this car, delete the links so that a lurker doesnt swoop in and get her.

Its looks clean, nice color combo, low miles. A nation wide comparison on Cargurus says its actually a good buy today.

Here is the closest comp I could find:

This assuming clear PPI, Carfax etc.

Nice car. Well-optioned...Love the Cup wheels.

I paid 45k for mine with 31k on it, no nav and heated seats so thats a solid deal.

Looks fine. Price seems OK. Car is on a dealer lot but it is a private seller listing. Mistake? old photos?

I think price is very high for a private sale. I am not sure but it seems these cars are going up in price.
I used to find clean example low mileage for below 40k
