Thinking of buying 997.1: Thoughts?
I trust you guys. Please let me know what you think. I'll be looking at it tomorrow. I know it is water cooled and that is where my heart is... but my checkbook is not:

My favorite non-GT water cooled 911 by a mile. Great for a daily, still relatively raw with proper sports car feel.
I'd verify the amp on the Bose system is working properly, verify it has the bluetooth version of the PCM (this cannot be "added with OEM parts" like some claim) and that the frunk hatch works. Other than that the M97 997's are relatively bulletproof. Can't comment on price, as I don't track these. Will mention that I sold a much lower mile comparable car for $32k seven years ago, so prices seem very stable. |

Looks great.. Love the color combo. I just can't commit to a pre '09 watercooled car. Too worried about engine failure. Yes, it got better every year from '98-'07.. but well, it should have been right from the start.

I don’t know about the price , in fact I don’t know much about the car .
But I’ve had a 2009 997 since 2011 . Fantastic car .. I’m not sure I could live with THAT one for so long , for personal reasons . There’s a 997 thread going on in the off topic forum , and obviously the 997 forum would be a good place to ask !! Good luck |
