Any thoughts on this C2S?

[dobinn]

This C2S mostly fits my requirement list, PSE, sunroof, warranty etc. Any thoughts on pricing?

I'm keen to make sure that within the first year I minimise wear and tear bills as far as possible. Given that this has passed the OPC checks and has a 2 year warranty, am I fairly safe to assume I will only be likely to sorting stuff like tyres and not much else?

Should I still do you think be getting an inspection done?

Thanks for the help :-)

Link doesn't work. Those ones rarely do.

Hopefully this works?

Nope. I believe that porsche intentionally keep changing the pages for sales cars so that links dont work.

At risk of this starting to get irritating, it is also shown on autotrader - link below

My main thought is that it is overpriced, but given the warranty cost, maybe not..... Any thoughts :-)

Around 18 months ago similar cars at OPC would be going in the range £32 - 37k. Given the, for OPC, relatively high miles, it seems a bit on the high side.

Tiptronic would kill it for me (fact, they will fetch less come resale) but I assume its what you are looking for?

[dobinn]

It has been a tough decision but I live in central london and drive a fair bit in traffic, so I would be happier I think with the tip. I had a boxster a few years ago that was a tip and I got on well with that. Current car is an auto merc.

Thanks for the input

IMO with the miles and the age I'd say it was a touch overpriced, looks good otherwise.

£30k and it'd be a nice deal.

[dobinn]

Thanks, pretty much what I'd been thinking.

Any thoughts on the likely maintenance given that it will have just been through OPC checks?

[Magic919]

You'll get the two year warranty, but the car will be too old to extend after that.

Typical costs are servicing, tyres and rads, maybe a battery over the period, IME.

Its a shame you missed two fantastic cars 911 V had recently which were both circa £30k miles and £2k less. One was a blue cab C2S and the other a coupe C2s with Ceramics.

worth looking at what non OPC dealers are selling C2S for. this is not that much more and a gen 2 car which would be much better as along term car IMO

Looks expensive....

Lack of sport chrono.

If you look at the Porsche website photo off side view its clearly had the rear bumper panel and drivers door painted, not a good match.

The gen 2 car mentioned in the recent post also has no sport chrono. Furthermore, the ad says its a 2009 model yet states its registered 08 on an 08??? Gen 2s didn't appear till 08 58. Also doesn t mention if Porsche service history. Manuals worth up to £2500 less than pdk. Check engine rev history as many manuals over revved.....

Gen 2 started with 08 plate cars.
