A slow sunny Friday afternoon browsing 997's currently on offer has resulted in the discovery of a 2005 996 Turbo S with 69k miles on the clock offered for sale at £62500..I thought perhaps it's had tens of thousands of pounds spent at 9E and was now quicker than an Aventador or McLaren , but no, it's just a 2005 Turbo S with average mileage and dealer & specialist history.
Now good luck to the chap in achieving anywhere near the asking price, but having had a 996 Turbo for a number of years I know I wouldn't be sinking anything like 60 grand plus into one, I can understand to an extent the low production models such as the GT2 and GT3 RS etc but come on, an end of run Turbo with all the spare parts chucked at it....has the Porsche world gone mad?
