The seller said he will consider offers over $160,000. He’s clearly not terribly interested in his car - has the car listed as a Type 991. Doesn’t even have any interior or professional exterior photos. Sounds like nothing more than an opportunist. The worst kind of Porsche owner and same person who buys allocation of the GT cars just to flip while those of us who would buy to drive and enjoy get locked out.

and not even a VIN number to boot. . . I'd suspect most buyers would like to at least see the options before dropping $160k on this. . .

What do you guys think of a 2006 6 speed with 58k miles

Its white with sand interior, clean title, accident free, no mods

I'm thinking of getting back into a 997

Is there a list of places anyone would recommend posting a modified 997 Turbo for sale. BAT is usually pristine stock cars and wasn't sure about Autotrader. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Modified cars don't always do poorly on BaT, depending on the mods of course. You will definitely want to be prepared to handle the peanut gallery, though: they will demand a DME report and paint readings, and be in the comments answering every inane tire-kicking question they throw at you.

​​​​​​These days listing it for a realistic price on Autotrader/CarGurus/etc. with some decent photos will probably get it sold quickly. The people actively in the market will be refreshing those sites multiple times a day, after all.

Believe it or not, I would recommend Facebook Marketplace as well as the 997 (and 997 TT) groups on FB, of which there are likely many. Also try PcarMarket and Cars & Bids. Just be prepared to explain not only the mods themselves but also the benefits in them and or the rationale for having done them. Don't assume everyone knows.

Not bad? Got my 06 6 speed with 50k miles for 47.5K last month... Guards Red, full leather, bose, sport chrono. Needed 3k worth of work which we factored into price.

In the current market climate it sounds like a solid deal, assuming it passes a PPI and you have no concerns about the bearing.

Wow - That's steep. I looked at a 2014 Turbo S w/ 7k miles and it was pristine condition asking $154k from the dealer. This was less than 2 weeks ago.
