Probably a tad overpriced compared to that paragon one (which you really should have put a deposit on sight unseen), but negotiable I'm sure!

WBAC seems to put a larger premium on the S relative to real world On 09/05/2021 at 00:28, Andyoz said: The 2.9 is a non DFI and from what I hear (mates got one) can actually sound better than the 3.4, at least in terms of induction noise. Don't discount s good 2.9 as it's an interesting engine. Dont really understand what drives WBAC calculation. I put my 2011 2.9 with 35k miles and got a valuation of 21,495mls this week.

The 987 isn't that old, but prices are starting to behave more akin to classic cars, so maybe it's the sort of car that their model can give larger spreads for than would be seen as reasonable by a human valuer.

Masher Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Extraordinary that someone buys such a lovely car then never uses it. It'll need recommissioning with a very thorough check and a few new parts I suspect (especially tyres which must be like 50p pieces 😆). Future museum piece (maybe this is where it came from?)

Daz Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thought the mileage might be a decimal place error and should have been 19000mls. Checked MOT history and it done 500 mls in 6 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are sport seats a rare option? a bit of a unicorn again that one isn’t it….it will be gone very quickly. The original poster Matt would be wise to check that one out.

The sports seats have shoulder bolsters and I felt they hugged around the sides of the lower back more too. they might also have more ranges of movement 🤔 My experience of the sports seats was that they look lovely, but weren’t as comfy as the standard seats because I felt like I was sat ‘on’ the seat rather than deep in it. The side bolsters seemed too full and the shoulder bolsters seemed to round my shoulders over than support them. strangely my mates 986 Bx sports seats are very comfy as I’m able to truly sit deep into the seat. Also the 981 sports design seats feel supremely comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyoz Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) The Spyder rims, color console and PSE are the main biggies there. Don't underestimate how much that white console lifts an interior. Fit some red belts and would look great... Also note the black Spyders are correctly painted with the silver trim around the perimeter. It's also got black side grilles and wing mirrors. Check if they came like from are factory ....otherwise they came like this. The white front grille looks a bit out of place though. Better if all black to match side grille. If you got the codes out of the front page of the service book you could tell how it came from factory. Didn't even wash the wheels before photos ...slack..

I was thinking it would be nice to change the dash trim currently in black to be white (might have to get a transfer icon for the cup holder logo, or just replace it entirely) . Probably inexpensive and again gives the cabin a lift. Unsure on the red seat belts unless the door pull update is made, but hey why not do both!
