997 Turbo’s on BaT / Pcarmarket / Cars & Bids Thread

997.1 tt vs 997.2 tt
Hi guys, I have a 997.1 TT MT 2009 14k miles Speed Yellow with cocoa and my friend has a 997.2 TT MT 2010 15k miles CL PTS Atlas Grey. I am a Porsche Collector and he is selling his car. I am thinking about selling my car and buy his. Difference is 30% more for his car. What do you guys think about the deal considering it will be a long time keeper? Good deal considering actual market values and rarity, or in the future Mezger will be more valuable than DFI?

If it's a keeper the only question is which car you like more. Both will be worth a lot 5-10-20 years from now. There are reasons either could be more valuable in the future but both will appreciate similarly.

worth the premium in my book. But I’m biased as I have a 2009 997tt.

Picked up my 07 for $62k with 45k miles all stock in 2017, has just over 55k miles and winter project is fresh clutch/cam pinning/coolant lines and chain guides along with full suspension overhaul. 2016/17 was for sure the bottom of the market on these, much like 2013-15 was for the 996tt's.

Ha, a 2008 Cab just went for $171.5 on BaT before fees...that's 176.5 all in. Hagerty needs to make some adjustments. Heck a 60k mile 2007 sold today for $89.5 before fees! Finally, a 2007 Tiptronic sold for $85k before fees.

Not really a good data point as that car had less then 2000 miles...

I also saw that 60k mile example sell as well. I basically paid that amount for my car 11 months ago with a little over 18k miles. And back then, I was fairly certain I overpaid by ~$5k. If nothing else, I am really enjoying watching others spend their money on these cars. Never a dull moment!

About to submit my manual 997.2 Turbo Cab to BaT. Anyone know how long they usually take to get an auction to go live these days?
On a side note, if anyone is interested in buying it before it goes to BaT, feel free to PM.

Plan on a couple of months. Probably depends on their backlog. I imagine winter there is less of a queue.
1-2 weeks for them to reply to your submission
1-2 weeks to organize and do photo shoot
2-6 weeks for them to list it

I just went through the initial stages of this process with BaT. I ended up selling my Turbo to another Rennlister and withdrew from BaT. @arscottp is pretty spot on with timing. They approved my car for auction within 1-2 weeks. Then it was another 2-3 weeks after that to be assigned an "auction specialist" to write my listing. They scheduled a photographer in the meantime. I canceled the listing before the specialist was assigned and listing written.
They also stagger the auctions so similar cars are not running concurrently. That will probably cause a delay, as there seems to be 997 Turbos virtually every week. They said they have lots of interest year-round, especially if it's a desirable car. Buyers and sellers can be from different climates. I'm sure some of that is sales talk, but still mostly fair.
