Canadian market is insane, no 997 manuals around and any that exist are US$100 - 140K.

Dealer would have listed it for $135k 😁

Dealer is drunk.

I know we have to pay the premium price for 997 Turbos in Canada. As always we always get shafted in the pricing here!! I see one selling for $180K for 2007 TT Manual which is ridiculous!! For that price, I mine as well buy something else!!

I received what I thought was somewhat of a low-ball offer for my 2011 S. Any thoughts before I pull the trigger?

Run, don’t walk - smoking deal! the best offer you’ll ever get before Vroom reduces the price for your TTS to less than that of a 17 year old salvage Mitsubishi

geeze. virtually identical to mine (and yours!)...2011tts, 1 prior owner, just north of 26k miles. i'd imagine it easily fetching at least 120k based on this trend

Funny thing is I like looking at all these results and imagining I would one day sell my TTS for a similar price, but no way in hell am I selling mine! Too much personal attachment here - it was my first 911, the one my kids like the first and most, our first summer drives together.

And oh yeah, it’s one hell of a car!

Yours will be well into the $120s or even $130s on BAT with that mileage. I have 64k miles and 4 owners, but I did a lot of upgrades to the interior.

Has a plethora of mods with a good looking Slate Grey Metallic exterior. I’m curious to see how the market reacts to a super low mileage but heavily modded car. No doubt it’s a killer car and the auction price is already above $110k!
$141k, i think it did okay. with all those mods it was an odd car to have such showroom queen mileage. if this car had not been modified i believe it would have broke $150k

i got a little annoyed when the selling dealer tried to tell me the gauges on the car were perfect, then proceeded to post 4 more pictures that even more clearly demonstrated the issue. like porsche would let a $160k car in 2008 money leave the factory with a partially unreadable speedometer.

FWIW the gauges in our 2008 look the same (speed yellow, w/ the numbers numbers shifted like that). We've only had the car since 2018, but I've wondered if they were always like that.

it's a common problem but you can find plenty of examples of colored gauges that look perfect and there are teardowns that show what that overlay looks like. sure looks like one solid piece / not a decal to me.

a replacement overlay is available from FVD for $700. tearing the cluster apart looks tricky and i've read the needle stalks are easy to break. i'll probably ship mine to palo alto speedometer who quoted $600 for the overlay swap.

there are full used clusters on ebay that look good. both my local indy shops tell me they don't think their version of PIWIS can do the coding to program my mileage to the replacement cluster and the porsche dealer won't install a used cluster. i think a new cluster retails for $3.5k.

I only saw one comment mention the 997.2 bumper and taillight conversion. I personally prefer the 997.2 rear end, but curious why the conversion wasn't addressed.
