Planning to buy my next car, just sold a 987 boxster.

Despite it being, what I think, in excellent condition and well priced, took an age to sell

Looking to spend probably 50-100.

Must be rear wheel drive, manual, ulez.

Had a good few 911s from SC to 997 but feel a little out of touch now that the range has widened up ..GTS....T.....

Do quite fancy:

996 / 997 gt3...

But my fear is being stuck with it if it's not as expected.
I have seen a white 997 at Romans St Alban's that seems to have been there a good while.

Others that look interesting are the T, GT4, Spyder.....

IMHO the best value newish Porsche sports cars is a 718 4.0 of any flavour and coming from a 987 would be a good choice.
If you like track days a Gt4 otherwise GTS/Spyder

And if you were to go 997 a gen2 is worth the extra if only for the peace of mind ... GT3 and Turbo excepted.

Depends what you want it for…GT3’s are awesome but most people wouldn’t want one to use regularly. If you are worried about being stuck with it you need to buy a car that is and always will be in high demand…


997 that probably means
Manual 997.2 GTS
997.2 GT3 Clubsport
Manual and low mileage very good spec 997.2 Carrera/S.

991.1
Manual 2wd Carrera GTS

991.2
Carrera T in a driver focused spec

Cheers all, have just checked the above, can't believe the price of the 997 GTS, and just the rarity of manuals.

Shows how out of touch I am, think this may take longer than I thought.

I do like the look of this:

But is there something inherently wrong with the spec?

agreed, but even more rare, but if you can get one for a fare price, do it, they are worth a premium.

yes a good low mileage 997.2 GTS manual is rare and expensive, you often wonder, should I pay a bit more for the 997.2 GT3...

but I guess the GT3 asks you to let it scream... while a GTS has power almost everywhere I guess, so more useful, also you can get a powerset on the GTS, so.... hard choice, depends what roads/use you have for it.

far better spec here for that budget

https://www.ashgood.co.uk/vehicle-details/used-por...

and use the £10K saving for a set of buckets (if its that important)

That’s a spec vs miles debate….Ashgood car has 20k miles more on it and is also due a service. Don’t know enough about PCCB’s but they would also need a close inspection.

Neither car is the type of GT3 that is going to most in demand though….eg OEM and Clubsport.
