I've not driven this car or even viewed it yet as I'm nearly 200 miles away. Going on Monday.

To be honest. I've not driven a 991 yet. I spent a week driving a good friends 997 gen 1. Liked it a lot. But the 911 is a car I've wanted to own since I was a child. I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to now do it.. so thought I would.

I would value your input on this car . Spec wise, any issues?
Is there anything I should be looking out for?
Generally. Any help or advice would be most welcome.

Thanks. 8)
 
If you liked the 997 you'll love the 991. :thumb:

Thanks. Excited and nervous at the same time. I could be a new owner in about a weeks time.

Any input on the spec of the car?
Colour wasn't my first choice. My A7 is black and I swore I'd never have another black car.

What about the options. Any issues that you can see?
 
Wow. 222 views and only 1 input. Did I upset someone? Lol.

Anyway. I went ahead and purchased the car so will be a very excited and proud owner come Saturday.
 
Nice spec Roy. Looks like all the toys 8)

Please post some pictures and let us know how Saturday goes.

Thanks. I will postick pics....
 
Mileage is quite high
Whilst I appreciate there's not a lot of cars in the market place
But think about resale time

I'm not going to be doing high mileage myself, around 6k max a year so hopefully should balance out at the end.
 
Looks a decent spec, and all the "essentials" covered... mileage is only 10k/yr average on it given its a 13 plate, hardly anything these days.

Looking forward to the photo's...

Thanks for that. Have to say. I've not slept for two nights. So excited. How sad is that. Lol.

Some pics I took the other day. Will grab more when I pick up. This was pre pdi inspection. To be honest. It was one of the cleanest used cars I've ever seen.

Apologies if this doesn't work. Having a mare adding attachments.
