Dunno about you, but my clutches last a hell of a lot longer.... The benefit of the 997.1 with LN bearing is simple: it's cheap ! way cheaper than the 997.2. As for LN 997.1 vs regular 06-08 997.1, no real numbers to be had... I know that I'd rather avoid both and go 997.2 but $$$.. |

The later style M97 IMS appears to be quite reliable. Of course I still have the original IMS in my 986S so your level of panic may vary.

$37k is a good price?

I'm taking a look at an 05 997 in an hour. I guess I have a PLD (poor life decision) burning a hole in my pocket...

I'm still waiting for 997.2 S models to go below 40k in my area. Where can you find those? Outside of CA I assume.

I'm sure you could get it for $20k.

I was looking for a friend very recently, and the experience was identical to when I was looking last year:
- Tons of 2005s for relative peanuts, lots of 06-2008 997s for cheap (def 40 or less). - Very very few 2009-2012 997s for sale (2012 being a half year), very few sticks, almost all black outside, super expensive, generally $50-55K+ despite high miles. And they sell fast ! You argue whatever you will on IMS, personal risk aversion etc... but the market is pretty clearly defined IMO - and that's my experience as a buyer, not a tire kicker... That is how I ended up in a 991 instead (same price as a decent 997.2 but way lower miles and less tire noise inside). Not saying it's better, depends on the experience you want...No regrets though. |

Spending over $55k on a 997.2 is nutty unless it's a damn nice car. For the same money you can pick up a perfect 996TT, nice 997TT, Cayman R, or Boxster Spyder, all of which are far more special and will likely appreciate to some extent. Or grab a 991 for the same or less. For a little bit more you're in 996 GT3 territory.

I totally agree Matt... (for real you can get a 997TT around 55 now? auction maybe?)
Which is why I went 991. I love the 997.2 but it felt "rough", smaller and noisier inside (not the good likd of noise)... Looked some more today, $55K for a 2009 is pretty common... Seems high to me. |
