Looking for a 997 gen 2 for a friend. Opinions on this pls?

[wilpert]

His budget 40 to 50k

It's his first one, so he doesn't want to go too large on spending but I thought this one looked decent.
Anybody know the car and any opinions pls:

Car looks nice, albeit slightly more expensive than I thought it should be?

Some of the pictures show winter tyres and some are summer - does it come with two sets of wheels? Are they looking for a manual or PDK car?

 

[wilpert]

Think it comes with both summer and winter tyres but one set of wheels.
Thought a little overpriced but if it's really clean and well documented history then it might be worth the extra?
He's open to manual or pdk, Ive tried to steer him towards pdk as that's my preference but he seems ok either way.

He likes the colour and the sports seats so that is a plus.
I think the mileage seems ok'ish too for a 12//13 yo car. He would only do 2-3k a year so shouldn't be a problem.

Am I right that it's arctic silver?

Looks like GT silver to me. Have you been to see it? Some cars look quite nice in photos but less good in person. Would you have it inspected before purchase?

For pricing, I think that depends how price sensitive your friend is / if they would rather shop for a couple of months to get the same/similar a bit more cheaply.

Quite a nice looking .2 popped up on here from a forum member the other day. Maybe get be worth a quick look in the classified section. 👍

It's a 3.6 manual but a lot cheaper to buy.

I'd buy the white gen 2 at Hexagon or red gen 1 at 911 Virgin. Your friend will always get his money back on those two reference examples - obviously put in cheeky bids but they're the best on the mkt imo :wink:
