I had a BMW XM behind me today in all its black and gold glory.

It is just as foul in real life.

What a muppet.

Seems extremely reasonable! I guess they're banking that you can only drive one at a time!

With the excitement of maybe having the Porsche nice to drive again I figured I should insure & tax it and properly try it out. It’s been off the road for over two years. I had some trepidation due to all the stories of insurance going through the roof recently, but adding it to the admiral pol...

listed as a DEHAVILLAND DVT GTS

how many times have you rebuilt an ICE? I’m zero in 26 years of driving - I’m assuming you’re lots more?

I'm sure that Porsche are very happy keeping on with the 911. If they can make a profit on selling the boxster for £60k, they're probably very happy making another £40k per car selling the 911 at £100k

Also lowballs do work sometimes, it's a numbers game though. When we were looking for a van to go to Ukraine I opened with a lowball on about 10+ adverts and two of them said yes. Also as Ascender is finding, sometimes those lowball offers do begin to look more attractive after a while :lol: so you...

[What a surprise - they’re keeping the more profitable one. On a per-unit basis I don’t doubt but what about overall ? They must sell way more cayman/boxster than 911. And then factor in that any new tech for the 911 is only amortised over the 911, not shared. I’m sure they’ve done all these calcs ...

That's probably a damn good call - stop trying to actually encourage the next step and let them do it if they're actually interested. I reckon I've been guilty of offering/pushing viewings (thinking it'll help Move the process on) then been disappointed when they messed me around in the past.

I've bought and sold plenty of cars privately - the old adage about buying/selling from/to the person is so true. If they come across as genuine, chances are the car/sale will be genuine too.

Any call/email that starts with an offer below the asking price is a waste of time.

I love the internet sometimes!

530 is a phev now as is the merc e300 at 2210kg. I'm not here to argue on the internet just pointing out it's not any heavier than an ICE equivalent. Indeed, it's not light, but for it's spec it's certainly not considered heavy. I'm not looking for EVO driving, just a nice car to waft about in. Gen...

The point of raising the weight was in response to Mik implying that it might be a RWD fun drifter. Hence it was replying to his post.

I don't think I've seen one IRL, but that looks pretty interesting. And single motor = RWD, so dab of oppo and you'll be away. 2000kg.... So for context about a 100kg less than the current BMW 530. no it isn't, it's 200kg MORE than the current 530i. 1833kg https://www.car.info/en-se/bmw/5-series/5-...
