:floor: :floor: Aqua is a lovely colour that said I saw a stunning black 991 turbo at Leeds opc I had to get out of there quick before I did something stupid!!Phil 997 said:
1 year on and I have covered 6,940 miles in that time, with 1,000 miles coming in the last month with a trip to Wales and back.
I have averaged 22mpg over the last 12 months and had very few issues, which include a coolant temperature sensor (part was £22), so nothing too serious.
The last 12 months have flown by! I'll probably keep the car at least another 2 years and consider my options.

Happy Anniversary Ben, glad you're still enjoying the car. Looks like mine will soon be going to a new home, I've taken a deposit and just waiting for the buyer to complete - private sale.
Exhaust sold to a lovely bloke in Guildford by the way.
What's next? Watch this space but it probably won't be Porsche.........
Meanwhile, bet you can't wait for the Champions League final? Sorry mate but really don't know who I'd prefer to win, I have a soft spot for the Scousers!
Cheers, Mike.

Sadly time to bring this thread to an end.
Car was sold today for £27,000 with 80,600 miles.
Purchased for £33,000 with 66,000 miles in May 2018.
Other than routine maintenance and servicing, no real issues.
Owned the car for 2.5 years, which is the shortest period I've ever had a car. £200 depreciation per month, hard to argue with that! Generally been a cheap car to run for me.
Had so many messages with people offering £25k without viewing it, telling me my cars not worth much as it's "only" a base Carrera and the mileage is too high. 2nd person to view the car bought it and I'm sure he'll be delighted.
What next you may ask? I'm not sure...We are in the process of moving house and ended up spending far more than we expected. Good news though, I'll have a large double garage and plenty of parking space. Don't think I'll have a big budget for a sports car for at least 2-3 years. Hopefully have £10-15k for something fun though. Thinking about a BMW E92 M3 manual, but won't be buying anything until at least Summer 2021.
I'll still be hanging around on the forum and will hopefully attend local meets.

Good result Ben. Great looking car. 8)
I've been there myself. Sell car to buy house with big garage for tinkering with cars, yet have no car to tinker with. :grin:
It's always worth it though. Cars will come again. Home comes first.
Good luck with your future plans. :thumb:

Thanks for sharing the selling price - its great to get a real feel for the market. Glad you had a good ownership experience too.
I've owned a couple of v8 M3s & cant speak highly enough of them - they are incredible value at the moment & significantly lower cost to maintain and tweak too. Be sure too get a BMC filter on it - it makes an amazing difference to the already incredible noise (far moreso than when i put one in my 997). the PCW 1/2 inch exhaust mod replicates the noise of the eon inconel MPE very closely too. Just typing this makes me hanker after one again - sadly no garage to accomodate that for me - good times for you! Best of luck with the house.
cheers,
james
