What do you get for around £55k on a used 997S (manual)??
Discussion
The question says it all, I'm on the hunt for a 997S (black would be a bonus).
Wot kind of age, spec should i be looking for for around £55-£58k ?? Coming from Aberdeen there's not to many on the go up here 2nd hand so I'll have to travel down south to get one. Should i buy from an OPC? or private?

£48-£52 would get you a 2004 (54) 997S, 19k miles with low spec from either private or indy if negotiate and no Part/Ex. My old silver model is available whilst on SOR with a Stratstone dealer. Car is in Leeds, email me if interested. Would benefit from a sports exhaust (Offical recomended). Chees Sagman.
Sebsea,
I'm also up in Aberdeenshire and it's fair to say there isn't much on the go up here other than Aberdeen T&C OPC and occasionally Morrisons at Turriff.
I went down to Kenny Dunn in Edinburgh, good guy, knows his stuff and his prices are "just" sub OPC. He is ex edinburgh OPC and has a long history before that dealing in nice motors in the central belt. He isn't the cheapest, you'd definitely save more by travelling down further south but I can vouch for his stock being top notch when I was looking around it. He also offers a discounted OPC warranty/inspection package at an offset cost if you don't want his warranty (I went this route - £500 for inspection and warranty). Although given the market your in you will be getting one still under the new car warranty. I bought my 02 996 from him last year and it was a pleasant enough experience!
I had a quick browse onto his website and he's got a silver 05 997 with 9K up and a reasonable spec for 54K but it's a non-S. Might be worth giving him a call with what you're looking for and see what he can do.

You should also be aware that OPC's are offering £15k - £20K less than list for year oid 997 S
I have got a lovely 997 C2s in Basalt Black 05/05 with Nav/Phone, Electric Seats, Dimming mirrors, Multi Func wheel, and a few other bits and bobs, done 15k. I do work for a main dealer so don't flame me down!!:-) we have it up at 61,995 but can talk a deal on it. As mentioned before you will not IMO anyway find a 05/05 or newer for the 55k mark, I just can't but them for that money! Need to have my 10K margin across them

My Jan 05 997S (Black/black) would sell for 51k if someone wanted it. 2 years old and 19k miles with just a couple of options and the very desirable Tubi and -20mm/lsd suspension.
So how can anyone think they are not for sale at that price?

sounds nice - does it have nav and bose?
It does not need Bose as the upgraded as standard sound system in a 997 is far superior to the one you get in say a Boxster or the old 996. I always wondered why people wanted Bose and I found out this week while trying a Boxster S and its tinny sound system. The difference in the standard system in a 997 and the bose is negligible however.
Nav it does not have but that can be retrofitted but I just prefer a tom-tom as I use other cars as well.
