that is a very purty car... and I think your price is on par. Good luck.

Three Wheelin'
I'm an old fart with a 997tt, have had this car for over 6 years, and as far as 997tt's go, it's a keeper. Lower mileage, very loaded, all updates/modifications for long term running and tasteful mods. My problem is I just don't drive it. I don't enjoy driving a stick as much as I did when I was younger with better knees and a narrower rear end.
How have some of you decided to keep or part with cars in the past? I'm considering a 991.1TT, as it's a little bigger, a bit faster, and has PDK.
My 997tt is a 37k mile 2007 white over natural grey, PCCB, Active Sport Seats, sport differential, HRE center lock wheels and loaded with lots of leather and body colored painted bits. If I were to own a 997tt, this is still my favorite. If kept, I'd consider swapping to the 997.2 rear bumper/lights and getting a europipe exhaust. The only downside of the car is it was scratched in a parking lot and has an insurance claim before I got it. The pricing on them seems all over the place, so I have no idea what it's worth ($75-80k?)
Just like the 997 was incrementally better than the 996, I think the 991 is incrementally better than the 997, and maybe a car I'd drive more. Thoughts?

That's really cool! Congrats on your beautiful 2020 Vantage AMR 7 MT ... congrats. I wasn't sure what it looked like so I googled it. Apparently it looks kind of like this? Stunning.

997 turbo is a friendly daily driver. 991 turbo is better daily driver.
997 turbo is more fun however.
997 turbo values are holding fairly well whereas the 991 turbo market continues to depreciate.
If it is to be your daily driver, then 991 is logical choice. otherwise the 997 is what i rather keep for secondary car.

Hey old friend, yep it's gone. Took about a month from the day I posted it to the day it left. I got $78,500 which was fair to me, especially since I didn't realize I needed tires (they had aged out). I think over 80k is a long putt even for the "special ones." Once I lowered the price to under 80k, I was beating people off with a stick.
Great young man in CA got the car. I feel good about the new owner; I wouldn't have sold it to someone who I didn't like... funny how we get attached.
