There are several pluses and minuses on that particular car. The low mileage and color are pluses but the general condition and the way it’s been treated are negatives. The used Porsche market really favors condition and records above all else.

That said, it could still be a decent car. You are in a great position being able to take possession and get to know it a little before making an offer. That’s a rare circumstance that we’d all like to be in. There are some not great things about early 997s but on the other hand, it’s one of the best driving cars they ever sold if everything is right. A good buddy had that car new in 1997 and I drove it some, it was awesome.

I wouldn’t waste my time on the valuation forum, it’s the same 5 guys arguing away. I can tell you what it’s worth in a phone call.
