What price overlap? I don't see many 997.2's for 39k? The ones that are there are sketchy at best.

My CPO base with 37k miles in pristine condition was purchased for low $40s. Sans CPO or higher mileage I would think could be found. Either way, at $39, I'm betting that most buyers would pay a little more and get a .2, at least I did.


I'm sure there is the right buyer out there though looking for a good condition .1 that is willing to pay that, I'm just offering an explanation as to why there may not be any "bites".

Yup understood. You got an outlier though. Right now, the cheapest CPO is 40K with 48k miles. After that it jumps up to 47,988 for an S with 60k+ miles and then to 52,995 for a base with 11k miles. Not saying that cars like what you bought aren't out there, just that they are not the typical market price point currently.

I might list on Autotrader. I did list locally on CL but I'm not too hopeful there! I just prefer the car go to an enthusiast.

Think there's a 2009 for sale on here with sub-50K miles for 42K, IIRC.

Yup, it's a nice one too. But we're still talking about like 5-6 cars that are under 45k. Of that number, 2 are not sketchy... the cpo'd one and the one on the forums. That ain't many out of all the '09's that are for sale. Point is, 997.2 pricing isn't that low yet cept for the outliers. Ask is about 50k right now.

Definitely hear you, I'd say the typical ask is 5-10K higher for a .2 vs. .1, which is where I'd assume it would be; however, it seems the the veil on the low end of pricing has been pierced on the .2's whereas most .1 owners still seem to be commanding good prices on theirs. I think the OP's is a good example; seems fairly priced to the broader market, but personally, would I get one 3 years younger, with an fantastic redesigned engine that puts out more power and more MPGs for a 5-10% price increase? Fo sho. But the market speaks and I only make observations

When I was shopping for a car I did not want a base model, I wanted a 6 speed, and I wanted a driver's car. If you're going to go for a manual gearbox, there is only one choice. At least with the S model you won't ever be wondering what the base model was like.

Now 997.2 S vs 997.1 S is a different matter altogether.

That being said, let's let this for sale ad go back to being a for sale ad

I swear if this was on BAT it would be sold at 45 by now.

I've never seen this color before in person but it comes off as a bit purple in the pics. Prob plays bit better in Socal/Miami than NYC
