Is there any concern with a car this "new" that has had 3 previous owners? Personally I don't think so as these cars often get traded/sold because of something as simple as wanting a different color, but I was curious what the community thought.

I saw this car in person at RFMC a week ago - I can tell you that the car was MINT. Strange not seeing the sport chrono clock on top of a turbo dash, but I will say that it definitely gives the interior a cleaner look.

For any Brits, I’ve just paid £93k for my 11 plate 997 Turbo S. It’s immaculate and very low mileage and I feel I got a fair price. Most other low mileage ones are on the market for £100k plus, though I reckon that’s Hexagon Classics trying to price fix or something as they’re all from them!
Prices have been creeping up slowly for the last 6 months since I’ve been keeping an eye on them but there are a number of cars that have been on the market for a very long time now, so some of them have slowly started dropping prices. But the prices are trending up on 997 Turbos generally from what I’ve observed. Hoping my new Turbo S will be a good investment decision as well as brilliant bit of fun!

Ive owned 3 997 TT and IMO, for keepers, the one to buy is a mezger. If owned a A1 TT in pdk and its unbelievably fast in the line but its not a mezger. IMO some semblance to old school is what will make this a future classic. Besides being one of the best looking porsches ever designed second only to a 993.

The days of finding a low miles 20 or less TT for 60’s is long gone.
80’s is the new level.
Get them while you can.

YOu can add sports chrono without the wart for $900 at the dealer, I think looks clean.
