I enquired about the car the day it appeared on the website (28th July I think) but it sold that day. The sale fell through overnight and someone turned up on the doorstep the following morning and bought it, unfortunately. This was over 2 weeks ago now and I have phoned a couple of times because the advert still appears live and been told it is definitely sold. I would suggest the advert should state 'Deposit Taken' or 'Reserved' and can only imagine they want to be able to offer an alternative car if someone enquires about it thinking it is for sale. I'm gutted if I'm honest because it is exactly what I'm looking for and cars like that are few and far between these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the 19s back on yesterday. Went back to the 17s already today. The low speed ride of the 19s really is remarkably good. At higher speeds, they are quite a bit crashier. But there's a lot less feel and they generally make the car more remote and a bit dead behind the eyes. The 19s generate a lot more grip, and IMO the factory car lacks the chassis focus for that level of grip, even with PASM. Hasn't got the body control. With the narrower tyres, the loads are lower and the car feels pointy and alive and doesn't lose composure like it does with the 19s. It runs out of grip before that happens. The 17s are, ultimately, quite a bit more engaging and fun. That's the main thing. They do look a bit s**t. But you simply cannot have it all. This is all for road driving. Track driving obvs a whole different ballgame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs the decals sorting though I checked the stats, there are three in the UK. Green is the only rarer colour on UK roads. Admittedly, you really have to want a Sport if it isn't the GT3 colours that are your must-have feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think that any non-R 987 is worth over £30k. I won't complain however 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much an ultimate 987s imo. The seller is a top bloke too with only the best spec 987/981/911s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopz121 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hi all, anyone know anything or have an opinion on this car? I would paint the wheels as I don’t like the gold but seems fairly good on the face of it.

Check the service history carefully and ask to see receipts for servicing and other repairs such as the coolant crossover pipes being replaced etc. Have a good look for signs of previous accident damage and consider a PPI (pre-purchase inspection at a specialist) as it could be money well spent unless you know what you are looking at.

MartinF6 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202208239047671 Toppy for a private car, but it does have nearly all the spec - Xenons, Bose, PASM, Chrono, ext leather. Plus is has an existing Porsche warranty. Think it's just had its cross pipes done, too. Would be my pick of the current crop. Don't like the Turbo II rims, but that's an easy fix.

Agree. Also, I’d be preferring a low owner, higher mile & lower price car vs one with 50k miles and 5+ owners. Whether you’re spending £15k or £25k just have a bit set aside as both will likely need something doing in the first year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
