Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2018 8:17 pm Post subject: 996/997 Turbo wanted - cash waiting
I am currently on the hunt for either a 996 or 997 Turbo.
Cash waiting for the right car - I am viewing cars this week and would like to purchase fairly soon.
If anyone has or knows of either of the above for sale please contact me.
Criteria needs to be....
No lairy interior colours - Black interior, or would consider metropole blue.
Max 60k mileage
Service history must be complete with no huge gaps.
Must be manual _________________ Ex 996C4S, manual, Polar Silver - Gone to the dogs!

Ask a few specialists to give you the nod when a car matching your wants is about to come in.
Trawl the ads on Piston Heads as well as this site.
Look at cars for sale at the Porsche Club GB site. _________________ 996 2002 X50 Turbo Manual

Agree - it might be worthwhile calling your local Porsche indy and putting the word out - you might find that they know of a car out there that is looking for a home or they might have been offered one in Part Ex for something they have in stock _________________ Current:

Don't discount indys who just do servicing. They may know a customer's car that has asked them to put feelers out that they are looking to sell but in no rush. _________________ 996 2002 X50 Turbo Manual

Tried all that mate....I. check Pistonheads, Autotrader, carandclassic, PCGB, and eBay most evenings for updates. Have a stock heads up with Harbour, 911V, Nine Excellence, and Ashgood.
I test drove a 997.2 C2S at Ashgood Cars a5 the weekend which I didn’t think was for me...a bit smooth, and quiet and for me no real drama....felt I blended into the traffic on the drive.
I viewed the 996C4S at JR Motor Company....I do still love these, but it wasn’t as tidy as I had hoped.
I think I would buy another C4S but I think now it would need to be ultra mint or Hartech rebuilt.
I am looking at a few cars this weekend again....A forum members 997T, the 997T at Autostore and a 996T at nine excellence. I am compromising on some of the main criteria, for example the nine excellence car is higher mileage than I’d like an£ had a fair few owners but seems pretty sorted and with a decent after sales back up. _________________ Ex 996C4S, manual, Polar Silver - Gone to the dogs!

Its a tiptronic. The OP states it must be a manual.
But yes, if he had not stipulated that, Chandra's car would have been my highest recommendation with only 33k miles and very well kept. _________________ 996 2002 X50 Turbo Manual
