Can also say that whoever is selling it probably won't know what extended leather is. Multi-brand traders usually don't. Learned the hard way a few years ago. that you have to see pictures first. I went to view car once that the seller promised had extended leather. Drove an hour and a half. It did not. My fault for not getting pictures first! I'd only pay that much if it had everything - ext leather, Bose, PASM and xenons. Definitely doesn't have Bose, pretty sure it doesn't have xenons or PASM. Ext leather in that context somewhat academic. Not worried about it flying out the door at that price... pics of it are now up https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202204084444610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinF6 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 As expected, no cow. 911V have just put another white one up, but again don't think has the cow. No pics yet. https://911virgin.com/listings/987-3-4s-gen-ii-manual-2009/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinF6 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yes, if it has the cow, I'll put a deposit down over the phone tmw. Based on description, however, 99% certain no cow! Pity, as has PASM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinF6 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 There's also this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/713677363154317 Has the cow, but too many mods for me. Spoke with seller, has H&R springs, Remus backboxes (no active valve), a brace across the rear of the cabin (not sure if that has required hacking holes in the trim), rear hatch bits stripped out, some tuning from RPM Technik etc. Could be an interesting car for someone. H&R springs I'm fine with, loud exhaust and brace bars in the cabin, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc848 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) The leather dash etc is very nice but how often do you touch it? That black one on Collecting cars was at Charles Ivey for a while last year, it had bucket seats at that time but looks like someone removed them! There is also a red one up on the Facebook group but I think that is overpriced at £26.5k. Having said that mine will be up for sale soon (I know I mentioned it ages ago just haven't got round to it!) but no sadly no leather dash.

Ash131 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Mine will be on the market soon , bought from Dovehouse in February and since done 200 miles. Simply don’t use it as it’s a 3rd car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply don’t use it as it’s a 3rd car. No harsh feeling but I don't get people like you. You've just added more owner to a nice car for no reason. Why don't you simply drive it? (being a 3rd car means nothing as each car is designed for a day of the week - IE a sports car is the 1st car for a weekend drive while a daily would become the 3rd option during the weekend) Also, why buy it if you are not going to drive it 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a car had a leather dash or hadn't the joy of ownership and the driving experience would still be the same.... PASM is a positive not a negative. So, it's a pity that the car doesn't have ext leather, because it has PASM! And I am afraid you are incorrect about the enjoyment. Have owned three 987s, two with ext leather, one without. I sourced a dash and door cards for the one without and had them fitted. I sourced the absolute best possible quality bits I could find, but they still had some marks and broken attachment points and afterwards there were a few squeaks / rattles. It just doesn't make sense to do it, in my experience. And I really, really didn't like the cabin without it. For you, no doubt it's different. But I am sure that I could find something that would spoil the car for you but that I wouldn't be bothered about. That's just how it goes. Oh and you'll get bugger all money for a non-leather dash. The leather ones don't sell fast, either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc848 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Shame you’re selling up so quickly! Good luck with the sale. 200 miles in 2 months isn’t so bad though is it? I would give the car a bit more time to see whether you enjoy it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinF6 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Incidentally, all I want is lowish miles, manual, ext leather. I tried to buy the red one that is still on Autotrader for £28k, but seller wouldn't take car for inspection (at my cost), seller said they were not sufficiently 'fussed' about selling to do that. I offered to send specialist to inspect at his home which would have cost me £500, but didn't even get a reply. And we hadn't even talked about pricing, so am not sure what was going on with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
