i agree with most of the comments but no one has mentioned number of owners , I wanted a 997.1 cobalt blue black inside and sport design wheels 06/07 plate and a 3.6lt unit But I wanted a one owner car which I think is pretty rare on a 14yr old car it took me 2yrs to find the right car
Personally try and buy a 1/2 owner car
That's my option

Did you manage to find a 1 owner car ?
That's some going and wll attract a premium on a car like these where by most people will own one just to tick it off before moving on to 997.2 or 991 etc, A mate of mine has a 997.2 GTS, a 991 50th and just taken delivery last month of a 992 GTS Cab, still has the others and 2 993's....... The 50th has gone up and up and seems to be quite collectable, all are 1 owner but not for sale.
I recently saw a 997.1 GT Silver C4S 13,000 miles 1 owner AND it was £55K !
I hadn't really considered owners, i dont think i'd have considered a 10 owner car but thought most at the ripe old age of 14 would have some where near to at least 4 owners ? possibly 6 maybe even 8 ?
As i said earlier in the thread, i'd discounted a sunroof, not for the Motorsport theme or weight saving it was based purely on having owned Land Rovers for 20 odd years...... I know these arent built like Landy's but water gets anywhere it can, Rear wiper, I was taking the rear wipers Golfs 30 years ago and filling the hole with a rubber bung and some Sikaflex so i wasn't' going to replicate that on something i'd waited so long to own.....
All other add on's are exactly that as said, BUT Like the recent PCCB thread where replicating that add on was £20K.... removing rear wipers and swapping to an aftermarket head unit are relatively cheap, Adaptive Sports Seats and PSE aren't.
The other side of this is future potential buyers. I wanted a car with PSE but wouldn't have bought one with it fitted after, same as Sports seats, i checked what was fitted at the factory by the build spec carefully and made sure mine had everything listed and nothing that shouldn't have been there. Not every one will be as picky as me but Porsche buyers are a finicky bunch.....
