I don't think you got a reply, and I'm NOT nearly as up to date on the 997 market as other contributors here (which is why I'm reading this thread).
But for what it's worth I can say that in my short search for a 997.2 MT coupe, 42k miles for $40k sounds like a very good, very fair price. If the PPI came back clean, and it's a no accident car, then I'd certainly buy it.
I paid $45,500 for a manual C4 997.2 with 32k miles last year, private party. I considered it to be a very good deal. I skipped the PPI as the seller was a friend of a friend and had all records from day 1.

This car sold that day and before I could get to it. Local buyer swooped in. It was all black but not full leather, exec owned, originally on ebay then taken down pre-auction end. This was not my 'dream car' but a very fungible 911 to drive while waiting for the right one.
997.2 buyers - looking around cargurus and some other sites, I am beginning to question the idea of how much buying pressure there is right now. Yes, there is competition for properly priced 997.2s such as the 40k mile, all black base with 6M/T that went for $40k. Or the white S that went for $35. But in general, what I am seeing is a lot of 'fair priced, good price and even great price' 911s spending 1,2 3 and even 6 months + up for sale. Some overpriced cars going up to a year or more. Even with desirable options and colors and the overpricing within 'negotiating range'.
My conclusion - asking prices (even when fair or better) are too high and the CarGurus algorithm and pricing mechanism is seriously out of market reality.

Def great deals to be had on black and silver cars, especially base spec with PDK.
I wish more folks who are subscribed on this thread would participate and not just lurk. If you don't want to post findings in your area then at least post an ad from different location to help others in here who are searching for the right 997. There are tons of subscribers but only a handful ever post.

So since I've made a purchase but still like to watch what you guys post and the market, you're saying I should unsubscribe?
I'm sure many are doing the same, even if they've not made a purchase. This may be the way they shop.
I'm sure folks will share if / when they find something worthy.

I never said anything about unsubscribing, I'm saying so many subscribers in here but I only see a handful post. It would be a much better place to shop if EVERYONE participate and post.
Here's a beautiful 997.2 Turbo with some minor performance mods, not unfair at $77,500, and it looks very nice! No association with the car or seller, but if the weather's nice I will go preview it for a serious buyer.
