Having previously had an SC and then a 993 which I recently sold I'm looking to get back in 911 ownership. I let the 993 go as my commute has increased a fair bit in the last year and I (thought I) needed something more sensible. As such I went for an Audi A5 3.0Tdi quattro. I really can't fault it. It's handsome, swift, comfortable, reliable and relatively frugal returning 38mpg over the last 5k miles, but....
It just doesn't have that magic. That intangible something that makes you smile when you climb in and strike it up. It's not the car's fault, it's mine for thinking I'd be happy rather than just satisfied with what is a very competent car. So, for the last month I've remonstrating with myself over whether a 911 is doable for the kind of driving I have. I've come to the conclusion that a 996 C4(S) could have the right mix of everything I want plus just about be sensible enough for my commute.
I have the A5 for sale at a very reasonable price looking at what else is available, but the car market is looking very slow right now, not just privately, but commercial too. I've deliberately left the link off as I don't want to break any forum rules and I'm not trying to drum up interest in an outright sale, but I'm enquiring as to whether there are any owners out there that think they may want to swap. I'm looking for a facelift C4, prefferably an S. I was in conversation with a C4S owner in the North East, but he's decided to part-ex his against a Range Rover for winter. If anyone is interested then drop me a line and I'll forward on a link via PM.
I hope this post doesn't break any rules. I am a long term 911 enthusiast and forum member rather than just a random seller chancing his arm. Regardless, if it's a forum faux pas please feel free to delete the thread.
