Worth watching, hope he gets what he's asking for. $50k for a 82k mile 06 6MT C4S Cab, that seems like a reasonable premium (would otherwise likely be a mid- $30k range car) for a 4.0 rebuilt engine. Pretty cool car IMHO.

Except for perhaps a few on this board, the word rebuilt on a car like a 997 likely shrinks the market and/or negatively impacts price on a broader scale, especially on cabriolet. Might be nice to have a Coupe that one intends for track use, but the word rebuilt and replace in the broader more general market are negative words. We also have no idea how reliable any of these rebuilds will be on a broader scale over the long term or at year 5, year 10 and bey9ond.

Totally agree and recognize that I’m probably in the minority on the topic, but a 4.0 rebuild from LN or Raby is an attractive feature and wouldn’t detract fro the value of the car.

You’re correct about the benefit of getting data on how these fare over the long run. I suspect LN and Raby have data on these rebuilt engines as they’ve been doing it for a while. So I suspect that is a “knowable” variable and I never opine or argue about things that can be settled with reasonably available data.

I don’t know but the idea that if something goes wrong w/ my 997.1 engine that I can get it rebuilt into a 4.0 is kind of comforting. If it happens then it’s not the end of the world and I might wind up with a car that I love even more than the one I have today. So do all the things I can do to avoid engine issues and if for some reason shut happens, it’s not the end of the world. Just need to have ~$20k or so stashed away in a purpose specific ETF and draw it down if the day comes. In the meantime I will drive the car and enjoy it.

This speed yellow 997.1 Targa on BAT is going to be a can't miss auction. It could set a new benchmark for this build. Stay tuned for a massive bidding war. The way these prices are going up it tempts me to sell my car and make a boat load of profit. But not going to happen at this point in time. We will see what the future holds.

Oh yeah, that will go for big money.

Why they would put a tan interior in a yellow car makes no sense IMHO. Black in the way to go.

good thing we are all entitled to our own opinion ;-)


my SY .1 with cocoa is about the best thing ever imo lol. This is a nice second.

Upscale Audio

Yep I was going to say cocoa too. Love it. But finding a speed yellow and cocoa is not likely to happen easily. You are a lucky dude.

What are people's thoughts on buying a 997.2 with over 60k miles? I would prefer low miles but with such low inventory I know I will have to compromise. What should I expect the price delta to be for the same optioned car with 60k miles, 40k miles and 20k miles? Is there a formula for mileage to asking price?

Thanks!

Higher miles would place greater emphasis on the need for a documented maintenance and repair history for the car.

The 997.2 is a very reliable car provided that it's cared for and properly maintained.

If 997.2's were plentiful, some type of "formula" could exist I guess. That perhaps being an environment where sellers would have to take a more disciplined / studied approach to establishing pricing - an environment where buyers would have more control.

But that of course is not the situation.
