effect of 14,000 mile / 18 month service interval
Discussion
Hi,
Thinking of buying a 996 - advertised as "Full official Porsche service history", but it goes something like this ..
1st: 5,000 miles - Jan 02
2nd: 9,000 miles - Jan 03
3rd: 20,000 miles - Jan 04
4th: 34,000 miles - June 05 (i.e 14,000 miles and 18 months)
Its now done 46,000 miles and yet to be serviced - i.e overdue by 6 months again.
What do you think ?

Its a pre face lift, which I thought should be serviced every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Just a hunch that if it hasn't been serviced regularly it may not have been treated correctly in other manners - and it may affect resale value.
You say there's a lot around, but I've only found about 3 in the last 6 months ... I might be a bit fussy, but I DON'T want ...
- a cabriolet
- a targa
- a tiptronic
- a C4
- a grey, blue, red, brown, green or sick coloured interior (and preferably not a blue one either)
- a high mileage
- a 97, 98 or 99 model
- a GT3 aerokit
- GT3 alloys
- a red, yellow, black, green or ocean / zenith blue one
- one with a dodgy service history or too many owners
- one with sports supsension or sports exhaust (unless switchable).
- one over £30K
So, that leaves me with a choice either a lapis blue, silver or iris blue one with black interior, manual C2 of 2000 or 2001 vintage - which there aren't many around.

no, my personal choice there Magic 
i'm assuming everyone has theirs 
which was answering the question to why the OP wanted a specific colour over another one.
The same reason someone might want a black 996 over a red one... we do have wives/girlfriends that value these things you know
And I don't know Gary - but ive been told its midnight *shrugs*

i'm assuming everyone has theirs Ah ok, didn't mean to offend.
Here's mine then:
1. Light Blue.
2. Dark Blue.
3. Mid Blue.
sounds good.
Its also worth mentioning I also attempted a more sutble message - that I ended up with a car which was not my preffered choice of colour - that perhpas a little comprimise is the key to happiness...
