Now obviously as generation 2 prices are rising as fast as 993 turbo prices no harm in adding up costs and confirming the gen 2 C2 has lowest running costs 
of any 911?
On a serious note for anyone thinking of a purchase I bought mine getting on for a year ago, approx 5-6k cheaper than an S, with close to 2 years OPC warranty remaining, which was big thing for me. So far costs as follows, essential items only.
Tax 1 year £285.00
New condenser radiators (covered under warranty)
New bonnet switch (covered under warranty)
Electric window switch (Covered under warranty)
PDK box slight oil leak (Covered under warranty)
3 x 111 point check (all free from Porsche Wilmslow)
6 year service including brake fluid change, drive belt change, PDK oil change,
£836 with 10% discount. Not bad I thought as drive belt alone close to 300 quid, shame about the Mercedes 220 CDI estate courtesy car? Although Zingers the dragon on the intro desk Is Defo gone!
Now bearing in mind I have a years warranty left, cheap tax, the car easily gets close to 30 mpg, the tyres still have 5 mm of tread, service not due for another two years, the rust bug won't be around for a few years yet, this is seriously cheap 911 Porsche motoring. I suppose I'd be disappointed in the little niggles which without warranty would seriously add up, other than that reliable as a Swiss watch and a joy to own and drive :thumbs:
Be interested in how this compares to other 911's?
