Default Price check on a 997.2 base carrera

Hi,

looking to add a 997.2 base carrera.
i already have a 997.1 S.

Found one with 60k miles, 36k plus taxes ....40k otd.
I will give it to my wife as a present.
It is a 2009 base carrera manual with very few options.It was 88k brand new in 2009.
If PPI is good, Does the price seem good? It is at a dealer but does not have warranty.

Your input is appreciated.


thank you

$36K seems like a great price for a base .2 with 60K miles i think. Have a good PPI done and have it checked out.

That is below market value so get it checked out closely. Hope it works out for you.

That's an unusually low price, so yes, if everything checks out, it's a great deal.

Agree that is low. Definitely get a PPI and also see if you can get service records as well.

That doesn't seem too bad. I bought a CPO '09 997.2 base Cab with PDK and heated/cooled seats and a heated steering wheel for $43K with 56k miles, last Oct.

Agree, that is a great price. Clean car fax or any paint work?

Just bought a 2010 .2. It has 28k miles, manual and very few options/extras (heated seats, turbo wheels, 3M). No warranty.

PPI was solid and tire tread was deep. 2 owners local to me. Was in the market for a .1S in the $38k price range but saw this, thought the price was good even though more than I wanted to spend so went for it. 1 month in and very happy so far - just added a car seat for my little dude.
