How much is a fair price for a clean 997.2 Base with 97k miles, Chrono, heated steering, PDK?

How much can I sell it for in 2 years if I add 30k miles to the car?

Love that red color. I sometimes wish I had chosen a more bold color. To me, 57K miles is not a big deal. I have 54K on mine. I think the price is very good. It has an aftermarket exhaust which could be loud.

9 great years in my 997.2 C2 (base). I've never felt like I was missing anything power-wise versus an "S". I still feel like that after 9 years - the car has plenty of go! At least for me - it's my daily driver and I don't track it.

Agree on SC (which can be added to any car - the switch, that is - not the near useless chrono clock) SC in Sport is a lot more fun to drive in auto or manual PDK shifting.

Will the aftermarket SC work on tiptronics?

I would suggest that it really depends on how you use and drive the car. I have a C2S with PDK and SC. In the regular mode it drives like most new luxury sedan auto transmissions. It is definitely programmed for gas mileage as it keeps revs around 1800 rpm unless you floor it. This is fine for non spirited driving on the highway. I rarely put mine in sport or sport plus for daily driving. If you want it to feel like a sports car with some throttle response during spirited driving, it needs to be in sport or sport plus. I also autox and will be tracking this car and not having the SC would suck- probably would feel like having throttle response of a rental chevy mailbu.
