Strong money for a private sale 5 year old turbo with no OPC warranty.

Car is not quite fully loaded as per the advertisement.

thanks Carl. I am looking for a 997 Turbo Cab and have max £55K - I guess there is no chance of getting close to a PDK '10 model but hoping to get into a low mile '09? Realistic?

You'd have to un-chip it to get the Porsche warranty on it - and even then, if they knew its history, they'd probably refuse.

No, not realistic for an '09. I paid 70 for my November '09 plate gen2 about 6 months ago and prices have firmed up due to lack of good cars for sale. I would not get too wound up about plate on a gen 1. Does it have to be manual? there is a black/black tip cab for sale at OPC Tonbridge with fuchs alloys, give Robert Ashbury a call at the centre if you are interested, he might be able to do a deal.

[korma007]

thanks for the reply. I had considered the Tonbridge one but I don't particularly like the wheels.....

I think you are right about the market being sparse - I have been looking (pref for a manual) in earnest for a bit over a month now but not having any real luck....

anyway - thanks again.

If you can hang fire you will of course be in a stronger position to deal towards winter and the summer tax on the turbos disappears. The new 991 turbo might also increase supply although I'm not certain when the convertible turbo is arriving?

[Carl_Docklands]

I would not discount a car just on the wheels, they would swap them no problem.

The split rim Fuchs alloys that car is wearing are so expensive as to make that a moot point.

thinking of selling mine...
2008 cab in meteor grey with 14k on the clock.

Perfect condition...
