Mattman42 Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Think I was told on here previously that there were relatively few 987 gen2 cars sold at the time, which maybe why we don't see as many on the market. Of course, probably total b*ll*x 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember global financial collapse in 2008, barely recovering by 2013, during which time expensive 2-seat convertibles were in weak demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a couple of the better 987.2 drop their price so perhaps it is a case of just waiting 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubdubz Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 I may have found one - not going to jinx it by sharing just yet... its a 3.4 and ok miles. Its PDK and has chrono, cruise - pretty sure it doesn't have PSE, doesnt have Xenons (as no chrome bumper nipples 🤣) , and no sports seats. Will the standard headlights be woeful ?, my 987.1 has Xenon and they are pretty good of course not PDSL good... Also its not stretching the budget so thats a plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
