JRW said:Apparently there is also some blurring of the lines between 997.1 and 997.2 in terms of the engine. According to my OPC the very late 997.1 have the 997.2 engine. The reason I say this is that my late 997.1 is currently having it's engine rebuilt at OPC, and I asked if it was the known 997.1 scoring issue, and they have told me that it's a scoring issue but the engine is not the 997.1. I need to qualify this with them in more detail, tbh i was more concerned about them confirming the engine rebuild was covered by my extended warranty, which it was thank god.

I think test driving few models and deciding from experience is the way I'll go.

Hi mate, as a rough guide and for info I paid 33k for 2010 gen 2 (non S) with PDK, PSE, Bose, Nav, Sport+ retrofitted, heated seats etc etc.
Shop around as there are cars out there for the right money.
Themash said:I know the colour won't be a huge seller, but I do quite like it. It's different. Gen2 4s £37,995
