Plenty of insurance info on this forum if you do a search, including a 997-specific thread in the "members only" section.

or would a GTS model be better option

Nope!
Go drive one and you will see why...[] (The GTS is great but.....)

Very low mileage example with a good spec and looks almost as nice as a red one....[] Strange it's had 3 owners in 12k miles though...

Not everybody wants a Turbo though..... [] Sure, a Turbo is quick in a straight line but it doesn't sound as nice as a NA engine IMO.

I think it is a reasonable price for that model and spec.

On your point on ownership, I have a 2010 turbo and am the fourth keeper. PC Leicester told me it was quite normal to see a lot of owners on the turbos. Probably the prohibitive running costs!! (Don't tell my wife I said that....[])

It is four years old so due a major service, irrespective of mileage.

Make sure that this is done, or ask for £2k off the price, as that is what it will set you back.....

At what intervals are these cars serviced and costs ect.. should this white one in the link have already been serviced?
Does anyone know a good insurance company

thanks

Didn't buy it to listen to......[]

 

[Lancerlot]

Of course it's well known that meteor met. was the slowest colour in the range. []

Fear not, it might not have been meant for you []

I've been through some pictures and its seems that Meteor is infact the quickest colour in the Porsche range...[8D]

 

[Lancerlot]

I am not paranoid, it's just that everyone REALLY IS out to get me!

Are those the photos showing you at the front of a line of other 997s?[]

I think Alan was posting his personal views and not in an official capacity.

We are consistently singing the praises of Carrera and GTS in our Register. []

And there's a clue on thread content in the title.

Clive.

Oh look, quoting my own post...........[]

Going from a 997 C2S Cab with PSE to the Turbo, I can say I really miss the sound. It was the biggest disappointment of changing, or should I say only disappointment. Trying to sort that soon with an aftermarket exhaust from Kline Innovation.

Let us know how you get on

 

[isysman]

Will do, will be next month as I'm currently abroad.

I think that from 996 and 997 the only complaint I've ever read about the Turbo is the sound of the car- but from the drivers viewpoint.
The cars do actually make quite a great sound from the outside!
True not like anything Italian but very much like a jet passing by[8D]
