As title says Im after a Black with Black leather (or close colour IE Dark Grey etc) 997 C2S around 2006 give or take a year, with sport chrono and as many options as poss, this side of 60k miles.

I have my eye on a few for sale, what would people say this is worth .... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3376037.htm

Thanks in advance.

Looks nice, OPC warranty is worth £2k, appears to be priced towards the high end of the range for that year I reckon though.

2005 , 54K miles , 25K

I agree, I think I need to try and talk a bit of a deal out. There is a lovely Black one similar spec on Autotrader 42k miles so less by some way and £26950 so a lot cheaper too.

Only down side is Scotland which is pretty much timbucktoo smile

Hey you, some of us up here are sensitive to that kind of remark punch

On second thoughts, maybe you're right !

Is it? I thought the ad said 2006 (so it would be on a "55" plate if registered before the 1st March 2006)? spin

Anyway, looks quite nice, but like the others on here I reckon it would be even better if the vendor would do a deal on the price. Personally, it always depends on the drive. If it feels "right" the likelyhood is that it is right, so then you chuck a warranty on it (for the bits you can't see / feel)and enjoy! That this has had a recent 2 year warranty rather enhances it's desireability!

What do the guys who have driven both feel about the 20mm lower sports chassis,
thinking english A & B roads??

is it well received at resale or is the switchable damper option better at sale time.

I have to say that looks to be an absolute belter, in terms of warranty and future costs (for at least the next two years!)

I think that is quite strong money but a lovely spec car and looks very well cared for, so probably justifies the price. I would go see it if i was you.

as already mentioned - price certainly on the upper end of the scale for a private sale,given age / milleage, check this for c.3K less:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3565482.htm

BUT...obviously v well looked after, looks in great condition and OPC warranty makes it very buy-able, defo worth a look.

That one could soon end up at over £30k once you add warranty, a service and a couple of tyres!

As above the one the OP posted looks superb IMO

Looks like a nice car and the extended warranty is almost a must-have. I know it's legit with the servicing, but I cringe about the 20K between oil changes on a car like this. It might make the costs look more attractive for the first owners, but it ain't going to help the poor sods who own these cars in their twilight years. Even at 60K miles I wouldn't want one that had only had 3 oil changes in its entire life.
