I've been lurking around a while and so thought I'd share my recent dilemma faced trying to secure my first Porsche.
We all share the same passion for the brand and I always wanted a Porsche ..yada yada yada, we all have our desired model but unfortunately as time has gone by mine is now out of reach. I set out looking for a decent 997.1 C2s and as I visited dealerships and read more and more about the cars I found myself preferring the gen 2 specifically the 997.2 C2s pdk. Thinking this is what I wanted, again I starting looking for potential examples eventually narrowing down to the one I wanted to buy. I then find myself standing @Cridfords gawping at the back side of a 4s realising that they are wider! and oh did it look gorjus! Selection changed - 997.2 4s pdk is now the target so the whole rigmarole of sourcing the right spec, colour etc starts again. Bearing in mind the budget has gone from 997.1 money to 997.2 money I start comparing other models in the range and reading owner opionions from forum members up until the point where one learns about Hans Mezger! and then ...997.1 Turbo deposit paid :lol:
I've yet to pick up the car as i've negotiated some work to be completed as part of the sale. I'm looking forward to living with 997.1 Turbo
