Aaron Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 23 hours ago, mo987.2 said: Hi new to the forum, just finished the thread (all 43 pages). keen to get the forums view on this coronation soup: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202210030376606 The combination of its price and service history are the challenge. If you have no intention of reselling and plan on running it into the ground, it could be a great financial play. Non-specialist or OPC servicing is pretty frowned upon. As you can tell by how long the car has been listed. Tip that you can use the URL to understand when it was listed. The first 8 digits are a UTC format date: YYYYMMDD. In this case it's 20221003.

Thanks Aaron, that is a great tip along with the tip to view “unlisted” adverts to show adverts that were not created correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian987 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) The time warp one, only 500 odd miles from new, sold for over £30K with commission fees - amazing the mileage, doubt anything beats that mileage wise again. ...though it only ever had two services in 16 years! https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2006-porsche-987-cayman-s-12-bin Edited May 7, 2023 by Julian987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Chaps Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 There are hardly any gen IIs on the market right now are there? Anyone know why that is? Back in 2021 when I bought mine he market seemed a bit more alive. Have prices dipped so less selling? Or is this recession symptoms? Who knows. My 3.4S just hit 92k so it’s starting to get to crunch point…sell on or keep for the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one reads good https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202305117269024 with the +10 BHP kit which seems interesting and rare. I agree, at 92K miles it could be wise trading in for a lower mileage one. You might get a better deal as a trade in once you see what you like rather than sell privately, maybe?

Like mine. Not many of those about. Julian, you reckon trade-in is the best bet? Hoping privately it will have still retained most of its value.

Well I figured if you find a lower mileage Gen2S that you like at a dealers then a trade in could work to your advantage, but yep who knows! Good luck with your search!
