I've tried getting her driving a manual 🙈 And it's definitely out of the question 😂
We have decided against the 997.1 turbo on account of the mileage. There are a few 60k ones around for £55k so I think you are right that it is overprice d at £43k
I am not too bad with Porsche options and I cannot believe how hard it is getting the spec right, it's a bit of a headache. I've had OPC warranty on the 981 since new but it is quite tying and changing the Borla exhaust every year for the service and the warranty inspection is a pain so I may go warrenty direct on the new car to avoid this. I am happy to use an aftermarket exhaust such as borla so a PSE isn't a definite for me.
I was dead set on having sport / sport plus but I see you can have it retrofitted for around £1k so this widens my options again not having to find one fitted, you just don't get the stopclock but I actually prefer the dash without.
Are there any options you have on your,cars that you think you must have? Silly things like rain sensing wipers and auto dimming mirrors, auto headlights now seem like must haves after having the 981 but most of the cars I'm looking at don't seem to have it.
I only have 1 996 left in my list of potential cars, and it is this one

Right I'm off to think about options 😂.
As a side note, it's very difficult to go to a garage and try to get test drives as they seem your wasting their time when you ask and say your not sure it's right for you. We were all set on a R8 spyder R tronic, everything agreed subject to driving........and then we took it out for a drive. Have you ever driven the r-tronic!!!! Possibly the worst auto gearchange I have ever known. It literally made you rock in your chair during the long gearchange. I was told they all do that unless I got an S tronic but they were out of my budget.
