Because they are at least 6 years old, and their owners have been driving them?

[f1ten]

agreed- they do get driven and as they tend to be pretty reliable, people are hanging on to them.

Yep, also prices are in the gutter, so the good ones are being kept and loved as people realise the incredible value they represent...

I don't understand the question. There are currently around 70 996Ts available on PH, 25 of them with under 40,000 miles. Prices start from under £20k for higher mileage examples.

At that price, they are seriously tempting, and likely to deflect me from 993 nirvana, especially with their non choc-block. Get thee behind me, 996T,

What he said

Thought of moving mine on. Looked around at other cars of this performance. Can't get much that comes close, so I'm now spending money uprating and overhauling.

Keep it another 3+ years.

^^^^this.

Mine has 55K on it (04 plate), and will accumulate miles as fast as I can put them on!

(by the way, I consider this 'low' for an 8 year old car)

[erics]

Exactly, i declined 43k pounds for my turbo s manual from someone who contacted me via this forum.

Car is mint with 20k miles and the most desirable possible spec (gt silver, every carbon fiber bits, x73 opt)...

The reason for not selling? No idea what i would replace it with for the money..

[stubbsy996]

Had mine just over 12 months and well happy with it!
If you're into your Porches where do you go next for similar performance at similar cost? - Having said that I'd probably consider a GT3

[Fessal]

There is not anything I can think of out there for £25-30k which hits all the right spots, but a reasonable mileage
one (<40k) are not out there in that range, and narrowing it down further to a tip (I know, lets not go there) makes
it a touch ask to find a decent one.

Look down the back of the sofa and find the money to buy Shocks car - if its a tip you're after its probably the best low mileage (sub 40k miles) X50 in the country................you have to pay for the best!

I wish you had been selling when I was buying. Having been in the car, it is one of the best I've seen.

[celticstevie]

Shocks car is one of the nicest that I have seen around and has had the money spent on it to keep it mint. A really nice car if he is selling.

Hey dude! Nope, bored witless with it, felt that way after a couple of months of ownership should have kept the turbo, phemonial car, OP, keep looking, it'll be the best car you'll own.
