Yes that does look great for price. I thought these cars were appreciating :?: I would have expected it to be on for more even with that mileage at a dealer.
 
I see that this one benefits from the stiffer shell :D

Blue and over 100k miles will do it for the price. Looks nice though.

Hoping to go have a look at this when i'm home (end of the month) but it will probably have gone.

Could you live with the mileage though? Everything else stacks up, solid history, 3 owners and the car looks immaculate.

Good job mine's purple :wink:

At least it's got a black interior which suits a Turbo.

What are the issues with high miles on 996 Turbos (if any)? The block is solid as a rock so rebuilds aren't required, I presume. If someone's going to use it a weekend toy - the mileage isn't very important and at least you won't be scared to use it.
 
I think its a great looking car and colour!.. The few problem areas on these seem to be more age related than mileage.

I personally think they could of stood to retail that at a couple of k more.

I wouldn't give it a 2nd thought.Probably one of the few companies that you could confidently forward a deposit to without a viewing..
 
That's far too easy to do sitting here in the middle of the North Sea. :D
 
Seems like a great car for someone not put off by the 100k+ mileage.

If £24k is someone's maximum budget and they want a 996T with SoGA protection it would be perfect.

I agree with KAS and T8 and think it's a bargain. I live in Harrow so happy to stop by this weekend (if it's still for sale) for you and have a look? What's to lose by sticking a £100 on it to hold it till the weekend?

Or Porsche Torque is just round the corner, you could get Sid to PPi it and you're safe as houses?? :?:
 
If I remember correctly from buyers guides the shell was indeed beefed up for 2002 model year, are we :floor: at the word "stiffen". . . or am I missin sumfin here ? :?:

Think the colour suits the car, have to say seal grey is best (unless you can get speed yellow) , possibly followed by Basalt, but this colour looks nice in the metal.

As others have said, if that is your budget I'd be asking about putting a deposit down to secure it. Think the history (both written & what Virgin know about it) & proper maintenance record along with the recent new bits ( + 911 Virgins reputation ) would make you seem a bit silly to lose it just because you are half way to Norway.

I am sure if the sale fell through for some strange reason they would act reasonably, doubt if they will be short of takers . . .come on "join the club", this seems like a safe bet.
 
996 Turbos as nice as this aren't helping me.

I must not sell the 964
