Just a question - do you see a dealer with better used 911’s out there? If so who? I have many friendly competitors but we all for the most part focus on little different aspects of each brand -we try to acquire the best of the best cars and to do that one has to pay up to get them - and then be able to bring them to the market for people to see and have the chance to buy - otherwise they would be stashed away in someone’s garage - sometimes on a rare car it’s not about the price but it’s about the fact that it can be had/available. it’s fun to bring hidden cars out into the wild for people to love and enjoy! And 997.2 turbos - I dk believe I brought this model into more of a “spot Light” - my point of saying how no one knew about them is because there were so little made - some wrecked - some sent over seas - some tucked away - how many could be up for grabs? How many people could have been given the opportunity to drive one - it’s not like you go to any porsche dealer in the country and say “hey can u show me a .2 turbo manual to test drive” - they’ll laugh. I shared this story to share the love of a 997.2 turbo with everyone. Have you ever driven a 997.2 turbo manual? If not come by! Thank you for watching and your comments even if you disagree!!!

I have a dream of owning, driving, and enjoying a 997 turbo. However, the projected prices of $500,000 in the future for a car that costs between $80,000 and $120,000 now seem unrealistic. I hope that there will still be options available at a reasonable price for car enthusiasts like myself. The video I watched has left me feeling a bit discouraged.

keep waiting and saving. 997.1 are eventually going to be under 30k in 5 years. the nicer examples are still going to be 30-40k

So the 997.2 Turbo is the DFI engine as was fitted to the whole range but with turbo's , the 997.1 like the 996 before it (which I think is a more rewarding car) had the legendary Mezger engine in it which is special. The reason most 997 Turbo's were PDK was because that transmission suited the car better than a manual. They're not really a sports car but more of a Sports GT for covering huge mileage very fast on the German Autobahns and for that they were perfect.

I remember in the late 80's ('88) you couldn't give away a 928 in a 5 speed, everyone wanted the auto. Now, everyone wants the 5 speeds that you can find in decent condition. This car has made some ground, but still a deal and undervalued if you compare to the actual production numbers. The 93-95 GTs bring good money today, but there were so few of them. I owned two 911 Turbo/930s (an '86 (4sp) and '89 (5sp) US Versions. In 1994 I paid $42.5k and $47.5 for extremely low mileage cars and enjoyed them. The 1986 was my daily driver which had box rockers & vents and a KKK turbo upgrade . Even the factory slantnoses used could have been bought at $49-52k back then. I was 26 years old at the time. I was fortunate to been able to acquire those cars. I had a deep love for 1980s Porsches and Grey Market MBs. Especially the euro 500SLs and 500SECs.

Ok this guy definitely has a vested interest in this car, that being said. It is arguably one of the most amazing cars Porsche has ever made… take that how you will.

997 Turbo are one of the great sports cars and will definitely be big $ collectibles in the future. RFMC is on the money

Crazy how many people in the comments are taking about this story negatively. Here’s a car salesman who set out to find what he believed to be the best low production manual turbo model out there that nobody was interested in at the time and showed them why and the market made itself… it’s not like he woke up to a dealership filled with them and said I’m going to convince people to overpay for my stale inventory, he set out to find great examples of a super low production car. If anything kudos to him. I’ve only heard great things of their reputation and a quick glance at their IG has my head spinning on how they actually find and acquire most of them.

Bullshit the Mezger powered cars is where it's at.

The modern 911 Turbo (996, 997) in a manual has always been one of my dream cars. And it’s looking like it’s going to be a hell of a lot harder to buy one in the future

At risk of being outed, I love my Tiptronic 2007 997.1 Turbo. I don't feel like I'm sacrificing noticeable performance and it makes daily driving a comfortable experience. Not for all, I get it, but something to consider - to get an '08 with the early PDK was a ~$15K bump, a manual easily a $20-25K bump. I'm in this car, comfortably, well under $100K and having a blast putting miles on it.

This car has not gone up in value. The US dollar has gone down in value. The new car supply has gone down. Both contributing rising new and use car sales.

These cars really are incredible to own and drive. While the production numbers on the .2 is much lower the .1 turbo manual with the mezger engine is also fantastic and easier on the wallet. Inherently most low production number cars over time increase in value. Usually 20+ years from the time of production. Just look at the old corvettes or camaros. Bottom line is in the lineage of the Porsche 911 the 997 represents last of analog steering, last of manual turbos, the last of a lot of things that make older cars fun. And thats what its all about.

These turbos are truly something special. More than enough power, awd, manual trans, realizable, and rare. You need one for daily driving and one for the collection. It was only a matter of time till the enthusiasts realized they needed one.

Well, I did know and I did care, but I kept one buying other cars. Could have been one of these for $85K in 2016 but bought an R8 6MT. Then I bought a SCUD, then a 997.2 GT3RS (admittedly a much more special car). I had other opportunities to buy low mile examples at $110k and then finally at $145K. Just kept looking for the perfect spec. Oh well, you cannot buy them all even though I certainly try😂😂 PS. He is absolutely right about buying 2 of kind.

this guy makes it sound it like 997.2 turbos were dirt cheap and nobody was buying them. They never were affordable for a regular guy, even the pdk ones. And it's barely 10 years old.

11 minutes of the same info on repeat

A vast majority of the Porsche market is pumped and overvalued due to vested flipper propagandists like this guy.

The Stig was already here singing the praises of the 997 Turbo manual last week. To the moon!

996 4S are taking off

As a loyal subscriber I can honestly say I don’t want to hear this crap. I went straight to the comments and I see I’m not the only one that feels this way. “Oh look I’m using daddy’s money to drive up prices to cars that I have vested interest in”

I’m not sure where’s there’s so much hate in these comments. All he is saying is he found a rare, incredible car before it blew up in price and bought as many as he could. Like anyone finding an undervalued commodity. I also know Ryan makes sure every car is sells is perfect. New brakes, tires, fluids, etc. he fixes any issues with a car and you know you’re getting a great example. He puts money into the cars he sells. I bought a 2002 e39 m5 from Ryan and the car is mint. I’d gladly do business with him again.

Always wanted a 997 Carrera ❤

Last time i checked having a monopoly in th U.S. is a federal crime.

I have dealt with Ryan and purchased a vehicle from him. You, people, are knocking him because he has a long island accent..., but besides that negative, he is a car enthusiast from a car enthusiast lineage. He is literally the opposite of most car dealers. He didn't invent the 9972 turbo market; he marketed his business off the finite number of vehicles Porsche produced and educated the market on the model's rarity. I have seen this exact business model happen over and over and over again in rare and collectible sales. The commenters ripping him for having a vested interest literally sound like they don't live on Earth. What business that provides you with any good or service DOESN'T HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN SELLING YOU SOMETHING. If the market couldn't support the pricing, than guess what, YOU WOULDN'T BUY IT, and he would have to adjust the price to support the market. When you go to a restaurant and the special fish says MARKET PRICE, what on earth do you think that is? Honestly, use your head, people. Let me ask the commenters about their own business...let me ask about your company's "ethics" on how they sell, inflate, and invent the markets for their products. Don't sit on your high horse like you are better than this guy because, newsflash, you are not. If you don't like the rare and collectible market and how humans place value on material objects and effectively will use their money to purchase what is valuable to them than I suggest buying a ticket on Elon's next rocket.
