Gabster Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I am really considering one, must be black though have the aero kit .....and the sport design wheels I have never had a brand new car, my current Boxster was a demo and had 400 miles on it, so I fancy a brand new one. Only issue I have is mileage I am currently doing 20k ,miles a year so need to sort that out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknight83 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 very nice... seen this on a few forums now and the finish looks great. The finger stubbing incident sounds nasty! i did this recently and i frigging killed for the whole day... expecially in the frezzing cold! I like your wheels actually.. i'll be bold and say that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The aero kit tends to be the kiss of death for residuals of the 997..it just doesn't add anything really. But if you like it...go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are purely for enjoyment, you gotta spend it on something, pretty bank statements arent no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiguelMcTyson Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Looks absolutely stunning, now I just have to work out if i can afford one, what would be the ballon over say 17 years??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelMcTyson Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Seriously if I could find one for 50k, what kind of 3 year ballon figure would I get, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Well you won't get a 2006/06 for £50k. To get a decent C2S you need to be thinking £54-£55k and a likely residual of 40%-45%. That help at all?

MiguelMcTyson Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks Gareth, I saw one this week at Dove House in Rushden, it was MY04 C2S at £52k, some remaining extended warranty and 35k Miles, but even with 45% balloon I don't think I can make it work, I need to be putting more in I think.

Thanks again [/ QUOTE ] That's pretty pricey considering the mileage. Values don't seem to have moved much in the last 6-8 months if you look at what people are asking for their cars, but there also seems to be plenty on the market. I can only guess that prices could start to fall soon and we'll see more sub £50k C2S's about. Gareth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of people in the market for £50-£60k cars and the two most popular now are the Audi RS4 and the 997C2S. A great many of these people asking us to source and finance such cars are coming up from the E46 M3/CSL and/or passing on the new E92 M3. You might find a £50k (or sub) C2S on the market but there will be very good (or bad!) reasons for that. The 997 is car that needs to be bought on condition/spec/colour/history and provenance.

Ben Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm sure that a £55k C2S is good news Gareth , it was more that I haven't seen prices drop since I was thinking about a 911 of some type 6-8 months back. You're right, the sub £50k cars are usually with miles, or in some dodgy/boring colour combo with minimal spec. But, they can't hold their value for ever! I was wondering when there may be a bit of movement in the market. Winter? RS4's are dropping still, which is not suprising as supply is huge! How you enjoying yours?

Gareth Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 "RS4's are dropping still, which is not suprising as supply is huge! " You sure about that Ben? That's not what all our contacts in trade say and looking at the real world prices backs that up. "How you enjoying yours? " Very nice thanks-just need to use it more!!
