Prices are quite a wide spread on some of these. I thought £80k, maybe a bit less now you've posted the age of it.

There is a 2010 for sale in silver with black leather, 18k miles at a dealership for £79,950

So private sale with 12k more miles....early 70's ???

The 18k car at £79,950 is cheap in the current market.

If it was GT silver or black it would probably be up for £85k

The OP suggests the one he is looking at is, and the one I linked to states it is (but to me all silvers are the same biggrin)

That one was in Northern Ireland and went over a week ago. Only non modified one for sale currently in the uk is a convertible at JZM. There is a ES tuned one on Autotrader for 87k though.

The pipes won't clean, i've tried everything on mine. And i've never seen any for sale with clean pipes, even through main dealers!

Interested in prices currently, i've had it for 3 years and wondering about moving on later this year. Certainly are very scarce at the moment.

They are selling pretty quickly just now, as 3 or 4 per month have been appearing on the market and with a few exceptions they have been snapped up within a week if they are lower mileage (coupes quicker than cabs). I bought in December and had to move quickly - mine was listed by the OPC for three days before I put a deposit down.

It seems the cars that are selling quickly at the moment are the 997.2 Turbo S, and 997.1 manual coupes..

A good detailer can get them clean

Had my 997 GTS done last year. 6 years old with 30k miles on it....I was pretty amazed!

Everything is selling quickly at the moment. I was talking to the Business Manager at my OPC yesterday who had just come out of a meeting discussing their lack of stock! They have two AUC 911's at the moment...one is a 991 GT3 and the other a 997 S. They don't have any 911's priced between £60k and £120k! Struggling to buy cars...which I assume means cars are trading over book.

It's only the 997 turbo pipes that seem to be a problem, not sure whether it's the design/shape of them or related to the turbos themselves.

I think 80 k for a 10 plate from a dealer is about right to be fair. If it was black or other colour maybe bit more. Personally prefer the turbo 2 wheels as centre locks not my cup of tea. That's when I can afford one! They do tend to fly out though so when I'm in a position will have to act quick. The Aerokit really is a game changer on these imo but rare as anything! Good luck though
