At least it's been driven, just sold my C4S (same age) just over 50k miles, only just broken in. Far too many people are missing out on a cars performance by avoiding higher mileage examples!

Considering its the spec you want and they really don't come along too often... as long as the car is good via an OPC/Independent Check then I don't see the problem. confused Buy it now and think of the fun you are going to have in this lovely long hot summer ahead of us.

I blame internerd forums entirely for this stupid mileage cancer.

Back in the day, 150k on a 911 was "nicely run in". Now even a third of that and it's "ooh <sucks teeth> you'll never sell it".

FFS Porsche buying people of the world, get a grip of yourselves!

Call me Mr Stupid but whilst I would like a car that has been pampered in the workshop I wouldn’t be at all worried buying one that has been driven as the Dr intended.

Sure having spent a year on this forum I would want the rev2 check done, that would indicate a careless owner to me as much as a tatty rather than appropriately aged interior and bodywork, but garage queens and Miss Daisy cars are more trouble than those that have led life at a faster pace.

A little more concerend at the seemingly faster wear rate on the rears given the 4wd, I know how to casue it easily.

997 C2S - what can i say..had my fun and wanted more BHP !!
Car was class and i loved the colour...Guards red suits the 997`s down to the ground IMHO.

A car trader/dealer bought it from me....said he had a few people lined up for it

My mates just got a 997 TT in Guards red...looks the total bollox
