The asking price of Gen 1 turbos are all over the place at the moment.
Is anyone currently researching? After cutting past the over-priced cars, where are we at? I have a manual Gen 1 997 turbo registered '06 with 24,000 miles. What the heck is it worth right now?!

Thanks

 
Retail or private sale? I'm seeing some cars up there and over £70K but at the Porsche Centres lower.
 
To give you my recent experience. I bought a MY08 997.1 Turbo 6MT Cabriolet with 39.5k miles (Acaptive Sports Seats, Triple Black) for £69k from a London OPC in April 2017. My local OPC since fitted OEM Short shifter, Sports Steering Wheel, Gear Lever and Handbrake, and the Sports Option (minus the wart) for approx, £2.4k since then. I was contemplating a sale this month (clock now at 41.2 k miles) and checked out the bottom price (we buy any car) who offered £45k and a reputable specialist offered £55k, but the surprising offer of £47k came from my local OPC which was very similar to what I thought the lowest would be. PCGB valuation certificate come in at £72.5k. I no longer need to sell but I thought these numbers would be of interest.
 
The margin for the OPC is outrageous, I’m still looking. There are a number of cars advertised but when you enquire, you have non OPC garages not the Porsche specialists selling with a warranty that’s not worth a salt for example one warranty had a claim limit of £500, there are service history issues, overevving data issues, cars with no documentation, condition below par, front end needs re painting and so on

as as a previous posted said provenance and ownership history are critical as well as mileage and condition

..... the search continues
 
there seems to be a large price difference between some turbo's and Im not sure why, Ive been looking at prices for several months, the range is long from £55-£80, very sensitive to
Mileage,history,spec,colour,owners,year, so much to consider. I want to change my Carrera S for a Turbo, not for the performance but for the ownership and looks, I think £55-60k gets you a decent one from a specialist, £60-65 gets you most boxes ticked,£70k gets you an 08 1.5 which we all want. All down to budget at end of the day.

 
I spent 18 months looking at cars must have seen 10 in the flesh and enquired about another 15.

huge variety in quality as you suggest. I nearly gave up but then found an 09 Gen 1.5.

It also depends whether you want a decent warranty as some of the specialist warranties have low claim limits

good luck with the search
 
sounds nice, it doesn't surprise me it took so long to find, that's why iv'e started looking now as im not really in the market for another 6 months, I am very fussy with my cars, as im sure you are. I am interested in your opinion on carbon or standard brakes, i dont track my cars but feel the Turbo deserves them, if nothing else for the colour, what was you looking for in particular for options?
 
Hi Les,

I may consider selling mine, not 100% as have been trying to sell one of my ferraris but with no luck, 2006, Black, Black, Manual, FSH and just serviced at OPC Glasgow the end of last year (Major) 4 owners, front of car is PPF, over revs were checked at 101 point check at OPC Southampton before I bought it and all ok. Air con had new rads and recharge along with new steel front discs pads and some other minor things at the end of 2018, Car has not been used since, its on sorn, 42k miles regards Scott. (I have a new RS coming this year, confirmed last week - so something will have to go)
