The espresso interior is actually awesome.

Strange build. High end interior and high end stereo. But a manual?

Body is in great shape. No evidence of the accident. Two of the wheels need refinished.

What's a good price?

Way too much. 50k. I’m sure trade in on that car is high 40s tops, given the mileage, options and accident. Pass on it.

Be careful. There's usually a reason why the Porsche is at a BMW dealer.

I agree. Even if was a trade in at a Porsche dealer they decided to sell at auto auction. Be careful if you are going to buy it.

You guys cemented the decision. Was on the fence because no drop top. But damn that interior was nice.

Appreciate the help

Back to the 997 forum for me

Without the sport Chrono package you don’t get the rev match.

It's been on Facebook marketplace. Now at a BMW dealer. My bet is that this car has a money shift in the not too distant past.

Full leather is sweet. But not espresso. Some people love it though.

50k is a lot miles, usually means it was a DD. Don't know what the damage was that's worth a deeper look and I think it's priced high based on both.
Lots of cars out there maybe worth looking a bit more.
I have espresso/cognac interior it's beautiful. I love the espresso color but you don't buy a 911 just for the interior.

Seems like you've decided to pass, but I'll add my two cents and say that I think that's the right decision. The miles alone wouldn't bother me (I bought my 991.2 with 50k on the clock), but the accident certainly would (evident or not). It's essentially a stripper car with a manual, which seems like quite an odd spec, and the few options it does have are purely cosmetic. I don't know what you're looking for, but that would be a hard pass both because there are better equipped cars out there and because this type of car will be the first to lose its value. It's been seemingly difficult to sell for a reason.

I took my Nt510 but would not recognize car
asked about overrevs and they said they would get it for me if I needed it but don’t usually do it on no GT cars

they have a 997.2 GTS for mid $60’s too.
