Thanks. Looks like a .1 is the way to go for me although I would consider a .2 if the right one presents itself. Any must have options for the .1 or .2?

Black is not my primary color choice however this one is coming up for sale locally to me.

No must have options, to me. I thought full leather was a must have on my first 997. Once I had it I realized I’d be fine without it. My GT3 just happens to have it. Some want PCCB’s, but the technology is old at this point vs how good new ceramics are. On a .2, some will really want front axle lift or buckets. Buckets weren’t exactly common in them and while I’d normally say just buy them after the fact, there’s zero chance you’d see me spending $20k for GT2 buckets. I’ve sat in them, they’re fine, but I have my complaints with how high they sit since I’m tall.

the only must have on these cars is a screaming Mezger flat 6 behind you, mated to a manual transmission. Luckily, they all have it.
The most sought after options, excluding color choice, seem to be PCCBs, full leather, and FAL (.2 only). These are just icing on the cake and will once again depend on personal preference and budget. PCCBs are phenomenal, but if you’re doing a lot of tracking they may not be worth the increased replacement cost. On the street, they last a lifetime so wear is not a concern.
Look for a car with good maintenance history, clean carfax, clean body, and evidence of prior owners’ pride of ownership and in a color that you like. That will get you 98% to everything that really matters. All the other options you can live without if you’re not a collector looking for a show piece and bragging rights.

I may be a bit biased but after seeing most of the colors these cars were offered in in person, I think Black is one of the top 5 colors to have. Black with yellow PCCBs is hard to beat.

one of the nicest .2 out there. What’s the current asking price?

mnawa

just under $200k.

Great observation. I've had both versions and never realized that one is without a smaller grille. You are also correct in that there is no speaker behind the smaller grille. I installed a set of ADS 346is in the doors so my smaller grille is throwing out sound now.

if the mileage is still in the teens then I thinks that’s reasonable. The car looked perfect when @Wonderdan was selling it last time and it has such a great spec. RFMC sold their .2 last week and the mileage and MSRP was similar. They were asking $220k and assuming it sold for close to that given it had only been listed a few days.

It is! Toys for Tots. That was one of my favorite .2's out there and I'm not into lowered cars that are black, for obvious reasons.

For me, 150k sounds much more attractive than 200k. Everyone has their own number in mind, but I do not worry about my .1 GT3, I would be more worried spending 200k.

Let me enjoy my .1 stress free, that's the ticket for me.

At one point in time the difference between a .1 and a .2 was in the neighborhood of $15k-$20k. At that delta, I think the difference may be worth it to me. $50k is a different ballgame--that's a full Dundon powerpack, a Tractive suspension and a RS ring and pinion, probably with some cash to spare and you'd end up with a much more exciting driving experience than either a stock .1 or .2.

Of course, as others have said "worth" is entirely subjective here and what may not be worth $50k to me may be worth $100k to someone else.

I called about this car and unfortunately the door has been resprayed.

sold a few minutes ago according to salesperson I just spoke to. I should have visited this thread last week.
