Default Drove an '06 997S

I just got back from driving a pristine '06 997S with only 11,XXX miles. It has full natural leather interior, white exterior, sport chrono, manual trans. and PSM. Owner is wanting $58,500. If the PPI and DME read out come up OK, is that a fair price?

If its a coupe its a fair but not a great price....I would assume very little or no warranty left.

Closer to 55K would be a good price and what i would offer.

52K would be a great price.

Good luck

Seems pretty reasonable, but I haven't checked KBB or equivalent listings. The used market is higher now...I'm sure they'll negotiate a few grand off...It's fair if you're comfortable paying for it...

I think it is a fair price based on the 11k miles (very, very low - hence the premium) If you can get a few more thousand off, certainly try. But I would not walk over that price if it is the one you want....

Personally, I would prefer a car that was driven more than 2k miles per year. I think they perform better when exercised.
I agree that mid 50s is probably a more appropriate price.

Sounds like a great car. Price is in the range. Wish I had natural leather.

Prices are a bit higher now, I agree, try to negotiate if seller doesn't budge, still a good price in this market.

For what it's worth, I just took delivery of a 2006 997S silver coupe with 26xxx miles. Manual, nav, Bose, sport chrono, 19" wheels. Carfax showed no history of accidents, but I suspect that the rear frame was replaced or repainted at one point. Rear tires need to be replaced. I paid $45,550.

Natural Brown + White is a superb combo.

My only concern would be that the miles are a bit low - during the PPI, see if you can get them to check to see if it's off alignment or has flat spots in the tires. Regardless, this is a cheap fix.

I say go for it - you won't regret it.

I was incorrect on the interior color. It's actually sand beige but it looked darker when I was test driving it.

I'm getting the PPI done today and I'll make sure they check the tires.

I had a 06 997S w 22k miles, full leather, new tires, good options to be bought for $45.1k. Came back with RMS seepage but backed out since he wouldn't cover it. This is 3 months ago. Car was in St louis. Not sure if it's still out there.

brought CPO 06s cab with 37k miles 2 months ago for $52K. $58k sounds high.
