2007 997.1 with 85,000 miles. "This car was a daily driver and has a story, however with the PPF and consistent service the car is in great shape and an excellent value. Asking $98,000."

I used this website extensively when looking. as reliable as it gets. also, scsage is really good. you can buy a membership for it and it gives you even more information. If you are actively in the market for a car, I recommend buying the membership as in some instances, you can get contact information for owners.

Had this issue on my RS. Fixed it with the mentioned sensor. Cost me less then 500 all said and done. There are multiple threads in main section which go into great detail about the FAL system. I'd recommend reading those threads to learn about the system, its components and associated costs.

On a different topic. Drove 991.2 S MT yesterday (I was considering to buy 991.2 GTS 2/4 MT). And it is nice (Porsche did a really good job with turbos to have experience as close as possible to previous NA generations). But still not that raw / clean feel compared, e.g., to my GT4 (that I’m selling). I like 991 interior (in contrast to 992 BTW) and Guards Red (or other bright colors). So the question is whether to get 991.2 GT3 MT Guards Red, LWB, PCCB, red stitching etc. with minimal mileage or go the 997.2 GT3 route (~35k miles, Carrara white, full leather, PCCB). The latter will be ~$35k cheaper. I know, folks here are biased but will still ask - if you had experience with both, which one do you like more and why?

997.2 GT3 every single time. The 991 generation is faster and smoother, but lacking in rawness and character. The 997.2 is my favorite of all the generations as an overall package.

Here’s an unpopular opinion - 991.2 gt3 all the way if you can swing it. It’s a much better car without question. Obviously this is the 997 forum so everyone will tell you the 997 is better but objectively, that’s just not true.
When these 997s were selling for 40-50% less than they are now (not that long ago), no one was arguing that the 997 was better than. 991.2. So while the line has blurred somewhat due to the 997 hype (and the COVID effect), which has driven up the 997 market, the 991.2 is on a different level as an overall package, performance, usability, and it’s much newer with a better chassis.
You should drive both before you spend the dough and see what you prefer.

I agree. Objectively 991.2 is the better car. But, the 997 may tickle the feels a bit more, though this is quite subjective.

Yes, it’s reliable. I also have VIN/option list for all 997 GT3’s, so if you want something more specific than what is provided there, feel free to ask. Happy to provide.

997 market cooling off little bit:
What you guys think is a good buying price for a 997 RS 4.0?
- 997 RS 4.0, 19.000 miles, used but clean good condition, white, 3 owner
