991 Turbo/Turbo S Cab
Discussion
I’m starting to look around for a 991 Turbo or Turbo S cab, my budget is circa £85k. I know the Cab is less desirable than a coupe but I’ve always preferred open top cars. From a residual and resale point of view are there any must have options to look for? Are there any Colours best avoided? Given the soft used car market at the moment if I’m buying from a main dealer how much can I expect to be haggling off the price of a £85- 90k car?

Thought I'd have a snoop. Only 3 available. All lovely. Start at £90k mind. I'd spend extra and go for the Mexico car. Will not depreciate in that PTS colour. Even like the pipe and slippers interior. Getting old!

They wear their mileage really well and OPC will give you a bumper to bumper two year warranty. Graphite Blue a lovely colour. The gen 2 is almost a completely different car to the gen 1 with the number of under the skin changes made. Having said that I'd not care gen 1 or gen 2 I'd go for best condition example.
Saxton 4x4 have a couple of lovely Carmine Red examples if you do not mind the colour. I like them too but I'd want an OPC warranty put on.

Indeed, Saxton. Always worth going to an OPC for the warranty, but if not then, for the love of god, check out reviews.Saxton 4x4 have a couple of lovely Carmine Red examples if you do not mind the colour. I like them too but I'd want an OPC warranty put on.

I've never dealt with them just noticed they have a pair of nice looking turbo s. If I wanted a Carmine turbo s I'd just send to an OPC for 111 inspection and throw a warranty back on. Buy the car not the dealer. Having said that 3 lovely examples in the OPC network. As an aside the steering on the gen 2 is far better than gen 1.
As a 991.1 Turbo S owner (coupe not cab), I can honestly say you won't be disappointed. 911 Turbo's truly are the all round supercar.
As others have said not much margin to discount at an OPC or most main dealers. The OPC cars will always be quite a few more £k than other specilaists. The warranty is circa £2k anyway.
I bought my Coupe from a well known Porsche specialist and added the Porsche Warranty independently. I was able to get a bit of a discount due to the warranty and that my car was due a major service within 6 months of purchase.
In terms of warranty yes it can be added, just be aware that many OPC's are quite strict (all 3 near me said the same) on the point that you need to have onwed the car for 90 days before they will do the OPC and allow the warranty.
Cars bought privately or on Sale or Return can keep any existing warranty coverage.
All the best on the search.
Finally - on discounts, of course it's always worth trying - timing wise you've got winter & Christmas in your favour so go in hard and you never know your luck. Helps if you can figure out how long they've had the car in stock for too

I'm also on the lookout for one at that price point but the ones I've seen, and still for sale have awful creases to the hoods/roof. I'm assuming that happens when people store them with the hood down?
I've also widened the search to 992 S cabs, as they are slowly getting to the same price point.

Amazing and congrats. My other half watched this race on Top Gear and ordered one next day. That day it was timed by Top Gear Poland at 0-300kph in 26 secs and 0-62mph 2.6 secs. SWMBO vboxed hers 0-300kph in 24.5 secs whilst battering a brand new 700bhp Aventador S on track over a mile drag
