Evening all,
Just dropping in to say hi as I'm about to pick up my very first 911.
After several months of searching (and many, many miles travelled), I eventually found the car I was looking for all along.
Initially I was in the market for a 996 C4S, but noticed prices were on the increase, and prices of the newer, more desirable 997s were just about levelling. So the hunt begun...
I wanted an S, wasn't bothered whether a 2 or 4, had to be manual, coupe, manual heated seats, non-sunroof, SC and had to be in excellent condition.
The problem was, most that I viewed were let down in more than one area, whether tatty interiors, lacking history files/receipts or just the wrong spec. Having upped my budget slightly I eventually found my 2008 C2S in Slate Grey.
The spec was everything I wanted. Condition superb. Interior mint. Stack of receipts. Low miles. Low owners. Full OPC history with the last service bill including items such as rads and condenser pipes, as well as new discs and pads all round, tyres all round and full mechanical service, totalling over £6000.
A deal was done, my plates assigned and just about to pick it up to enjoy, cherish and be very proud of myself for fulfilling a childhood dream of one day owning my own 911!
Anyway, lots of (subtle) plans for this but for now here's a pic:
