Funny how the 997 gt3 and 997.1turbo prices are strong with the new and improved 991 available...........not really all that strange after all, but what do I know

Chris, if you go back to the posts on the various forums about 997.1 TT prices before the launch of the 991TT, there were many who claimed the 997.1TT would see a big price drop. Not only has that not happened, but to your earlier point, the prices have held much stronger than expected.

At this point I would have expected prices to be listed for $65-$70K on average for 07 Turbos, but most are in the $75K+ range. this is definitely a surprise to most. This could partly be do to folks who delayed their purchase until after the 991 TT launch hoping to take advantage of dropping 997.1TT prices. When this "price drop" didn't materialize there was a bolus of built up demand that was unleashed earlier this year that has since help support prices.

^^agree 100%

This flawless Turbo sold for 80 and the new owner got hell of a deal

You did get a great deal but at the end of the day you did pay 60k+ for a car that had the wrong transmission for you.. I tell people all the time: never settle! It's always worth waiting for the right car.

aint much of a choice on the island & cobalt blue is awesome! especially amongst the lush colors of Hawaii!

Congrats on the good deal. Being in Hawaii also creates $$ to ship.

I have noticed manual 07-09 turbos being sold in days, in different forums. Seems people are snapping them up faster than before and for good money.

Agreed. This week, an '09 with 5k miles for $90 was sold in 2 days locally to me. Seems like these are quietly being snapped up.

It seems that demand for the last of the manual mezger Turbos is pretty strong at the moment, especially for lower mileage quality examples. And supply of quality cars will only go down over time. Will be an interesting case study in terms of what happens over the next few years.

As much as I love air cooled 911s, owned several in the past including a 930, they cannot compare to the 997 TT in some areas. With prices of 930s skyrocketing into the 60+ range I think people are looking at what else is a special Porsche. The high GT3 prices are also helping.

As I stated in other posts the manual mezger has enough real 911 feel and is not to numb like the 991. These are special cars that are getting noticed for the value for the money. I don't plan on selling mine anytime soon.

I sold my flawless 07, PCCB, 6MT, Guards Red with 13k miles a couple months ago for $80k. I really regret not holding out for more. The TT is by far the best value in the sports car market IMO, and the best car I've ever owned. The only reason I sold mine is to buy an 09 and keep it. Unfortunately I have a feeling that my very specific option requirements will cause it to be a couple year search. First world problems.

glad i got mine when i did

07-09 997.1 turbos with 6mt are absolutely holding their value.

Are cab TT's really that much less desirable than Coupes?, I have always been a die hard Coupe fan and currently own a 40th 996. Looking at a 997TT soon and fancy a cab just to enjoy the summers with the family a bit more.

Any views on cab vs coupe
