Sorry you’ve been beaten by my Uber driver

Also, Bicester Scramble in April; you need a 911 by then! tick tock etc

55000 miles over is on a par with Hoovie’s Maserati SUV

That is amazing, I wonder if the car has actually been serviced, but without the right equipment to reset the service indicator, or if they're going for a record?

Anyway, I nominate the jungle taxi I caught in the Peruvian amazon.

This one did also have an EML illuminated (and I expect that wasn't recent either!)

April for a 911 purchase is probably a bit tight timing wise but the October scramble should be achievable...

Hmm. Maybe this could be brought forward...







No deals have been done as yet I may add...

ETA: I should probably add that the driving experience of this car blew my mind slightly compared to the 997... predominantly the intake noise piped into the cabin. They've absolutely nailed it - I mean it sounds as good as my old man's FF which is phenomenal considering its a 'piddly 3.8 flat six'. The PDK was also a mightily impressive thing - I think I'd be happy with it as much as the old heel toeing gives you a smug sense of satisfaction.

The inventory out of sight was also quite remarkable - 1.3m quids worth of CGT, plus a bad boys 964 3.6 turbo on the ramp having a service...

Problem is they want all the monies for it. It also does not have the GTS interior pack which gives you a stitched dash and nicer door cards.

Essentially it £5,000 overpriced compared to an identically spec’d version at a dealer with a similar rep for immaculate stock.

It’s not that the 5k is material but it’s extra pain if I have to sell it in a couple of years as realistically I’d lose £20k on a PX and 15 on a private sale (assuming the new 992.2 doesn’t have a 4.0 N/A manual in which case these these will be worth c.50p).

GTSs do seem to hold their value well, but yes if a version the Coxster GTS engine shows up in the .2, that’ll be something hugely desirable.

I like a triple black GTS 992 for sale at Porsche currently, but one cup holder?? So many spillages/arguments/murders must happen daily..
