Picked my new car up on Saturday!
As I said its a lightly specced Carrera but its in the colour combo I wanted and I got a really good price on it. It's a 2015 and I bought it for the same price I was going to buy a 2012 for. (bought privately as the previous owner had died of a heart attack on holiday last month :-( )
I was mulling over it because it doesn't have PSE but after 3 years of diesel cars, I am absolutely made up with the noise it makes anyway!
It needs its 4-year service which is £950 at Porsche or £723 at the local specialist (Tech 9) who are supposed to be really good.
I think for the sake of a couple of hundred quid its worth keeping the history OPC, isn't it?
Pics are terrible as it has rained since the moment I got it.
I did have a moment on the way back from picking it up where I got a red message on the dash to stop due to lack of coolant and the gauge was reading 120 degrees plus but it turns out after speaking to Porsche it was likely a sensor due to being sat for a month, it cleared after 20 mins and has been fine since.
Its obvs been really well looked after. It has 4 brand new N rated tyres on it and the only mark I can find on it is on the rim of the front near side wheel but it minor so not sure if I will get it done or not.
I'm thinking of getting the callipers painted Red which will match the interior. What do you guys think?
Apart from that and the lack of cruise control which just seems mad to me on a car of this price I am ecstatic with it and cant stop looking out the window in my office!
