After a good few weeks searching I'm now the proud owner of a 997 and I love it!
After the 964 I sold earlier in the year it is much more refined and significantly more powerful.
In the best forum tradition this is the spec:
2006 C2S manual coupe
49k miles with full OPC history including a minor service and brake fluid change last month
Basalt black with black interior including full leather dash and door cards and Alcantara headlining
Sports chrono
Switchable exhaust
Short shifter
Heated adaptive sports seats
Multi function steering wheel
Sat nav and phone prep
Bose & CD multichanger
Cruise control
Rear wiper
Embossed headrests
Park assist and Homelink
Prior to finally committing to the purchase I had Northway carry out a PPI and borescope which all went well. No deal breakers but Paul found a few things that will need doing in the next 12 months and thankfully the vendor reduced the price to a level that we were both happy with.
Having a 250 mile journey home in it yesterday was a great opportunity to get to know it.
There is however one massive downside - it's pi**ing down with rain here today and I want to get out to wash and polish it!
I guess I'll just have to drive it instead!
