stevethegreek Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 After 19 months and just over 17k miles, I said goodbye to my 987S yesterday. Had some great times and thoroughly enjoyed my ownership but I had been hankering for something newer over the last couple of months. So I managed to trade in for this.. 2015 981 GTS. This was not my first choice, as I was really looking for a Gen2 997S, however the jump in spends was just a bit too much. But I'm enjoying it immensely so far, though have only had it since yesterday. I've got a few bits and pieces from the 987 that I will be listing up for sale so as to make some space in my garage.

My suspicion is you have way better value for money! By the way, you must be still in denial/trauma, if you've posted a goodbye in the 987 forum, rather than a hello in the 981 forum!

I wasn't clear I guess. I could have got a 997.2S for 'similar' money. However, it would have been a very early Gen 2, 2008/9 if lucky, not very well specced at all, some with questionable history, higher mileage and only 3 years newer than my 987S. So the 981GTS made more sense (in my mind) - 2015, under 40k miles, very well specced and I ended up getting a pretty good deal all in all. Lol'd at your other comment! I couldn't say hello in the 981 forum as I don't have one of these!.... Edited April 22, 2022 by stevethegreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAZ Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Cracking looking car and you made the right choice with the 981 ( my fav) Mr997 ( has a 2010 gen 2 ) still has the hump over having to spend out nearly £500 on a rear light casing yesterday ( after 10%PCGB discount) - fab colour too 😊👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
