Hi All,

I took the plunge after waiting nearly a year, I've placed a deposit on a 997.2 C4s Cabrio 86k miles, 2 previous owners, £36k with 4 new Michelin tyre's.

It's had 3 services from OPC and 1 service from a Porsche specialist, last service was OPC for 2k which including replacing some corroded pipes.

Looking at prices I think I've paid about right, most cabrio's going for about 44k with around 30-50k miles on.

What do you guys think?

I really like the look of that and the price seems fair. I drive the same car as you used to! Did you get bored of the 996?

I had the 996 3 years ago for about 12 months, it hardly got used and I never really "loved" the car as I did my Z4 I had a few years earlier.
 
That looks stunning, and a great price.

Very tasty indeed. Good value too well done. :thumb:
 
Great find, best colour! :wink:
Prices are highly spec dependant and the high mileage will obviously mean it's cheaper but £36k is a great price in anyone's book!
 
Looks lovely, congratulations, i hope its a great car for you :thumb:
 
Very nice, I'd have a good think about getting it under Porsche Warranty because of the mileage.

It'll pay for itself, I've engine seals, rear lights, PDK programming, valve units, seat pumps etc etc replaced + labour. Lord knows how much it would have cost. The cost of the engine seals was about £1200 and the seat valves were in the region of £1700.

Stress free motoring and you get to drive the latest Boxsters, 911, cayman or Panamera, :grin:
 
How much is the warranty? I've been thinking of doing it but my OPC in Sheffield never replies!

Found it on another site


breakdown 12 month 24 months
Warranty £660 £1270
Porsche Assistance £169 £275
111 Point Check £216 £216
Total £1045 £1761


Shall I get the 111 check done before I collect the car? £1270 isn't bad at all for 2 ye warranty!
 
The warranty is excellent but everything has to be 100% standard and the way Porsche intended. For example mine isn't eligible as it's got a parrot Bluetooth kit - it would have to be removed. With the cost of new tyres, a full major service and the 111 point check I was in for a significant 4 figure sum without paying for the warranty.

Lovely looking car and great value!
 
I'll have to drop it down to an OPC, last service was a major one earlier this year with an OPC for 2k.

MOT has a couple of advisories in but easy to sort (front top strut corrosion, and drop link ball play)

+1 Especially with the mileage, but thats a super price :thumbs: Your issue is however, how long you can have the warranty due to the mileage :?: Dependant on your future mileage.
