It's had a full Hartech rebuild about 20,000 miles ago. It also has about 65 pages of service history and maintenance on the car over the last 18 years.
It has a host of upgrades that I'm thinking of pulling off as it wouldn't add any value to the car (I don't think) and I could resell it for some money back.

I've had the car almost a year a now and unfortunately, it just isn't doing it for me. I actually sold my 981 Cayman to move into my first 911. I was really excited to have my first 911 but I also liked the idea of being able to take my girlfriend and daughter out in it. Truth be told, they both really disliked the harsh suspension ride and they've been out in it a grand total of 2 times. I may aswell stuck with the sports car just for me and just use the SUV for family times.
Of course, I've had some regret regarding the car too. I'm sure I'll be crucified by people in this forum but I actually think my Cayman was a significantly better and more enjoyable car. So I think I'm going to look at getting back into a Cayman at some point.
It depends how badly I'm going to be burned by selling the 911.
So do people think a Hartech rebuild would add any value?
Car has done 97,000 miles.

Unless you have small kids or a midget family (or a dog) the Cayman is a better car (shhhh best kept secret lol) and 911 owners get upset...
