Ive a few cars in life that I just must have.
The 996 turbo cab is one such car.
Not being made of money these cars gave always been hard to reach, however Im now there for this one.

Ive seen 3 cars on the classifieds that have started an itch

This one

and This One

and Finally

Your experienced and educated thoughts would be welcome.

Anyone know the cars?
Anyone been to see them?

Thank you in anticipation.

Not seen any of the cars on your links but I moved from a Cayman S to a 996 tt coupe earlier in the year and my only regret was not doing it sooner.

My advice would be to get a pre purchase inspection on which ever car you choose, mine paid for itself 4 times over just by confirming my suspicion that the tyres had seen better days. Get it done at an independent dealer rather than using one of these guys that comes out and looks at the car, having the car up on a ramp will mean the job gets done properly and is no ore expensive.

My only other advice is to get a Shell loyalty card s your days of being able to drive past without needing to top up are coming to an end!

Have a look at the one RSJ have. It's my old car. I've had it two years. I still have the Peter Morgan PPI from when I bought it. Properly looked after, just been serviced, and four new tyres on it that are barely scrubbed in.

They are absolute rockets, and the lack of a roof amplifies the sensation of speed nicely.

PM me if you've got any questions.
