  1. @mr.tourette23 When I had the 996 I used ‘Spires Tuning’ in Warwick / Near Leamington Spa. This was after a complete suspension refresh / arms / links / bolts / coil overs etc… 

    Matt there was excellent - terminally OCD in a good way - and approachable. I’d had bad experiences locally - one “specialist” (jokers) and some friendly chaps with a Hunter set up. Sadly neither local operators were up to it.

    Car drove really, really well afterwards - I wouldn’t hesitate using him again.

    Alignment was around £150 ish. He included a check over first (up on post lifts to check for play etc) / then set up:

  2. Always going to be a narrow market for a categorised + high miles car… needs to be cheap cheap cheap….

    Different world and car but at the start of lockdown I viewed a 987.2 Boxster 3.4S 130k miles non cat for £7000. I felt that was about right - although offered less and left it 😂.

    Nice to see one actually being used though / instead of preserved for the next owners.

  3. Comes across like he’d look after a car / and looks to have done with this one.

    Shame it’s PDK - but does have the nice wheel design and sporty interior.

    That one owner, OPC warrantied, manual - discussed (slated 😂) - on the GTS values thread looks to have sold - reckon that’d been good value at < £35k… appearing at a specialist soon maybe….

    This has been for sale for a few weeks… was on the classified thread I’m sure…

    Advert says 1 owner - colour combo (carmine + tan) not for everyone … and needs a good scrub…. And a bit miley … but a manual GTS with OPC history and warranty to 2025… wonder what they actually want for it price wise…. 36?

    BoXa’s favourite Colour / Wheel combo / Manual GTS that started near on 39 is now at £36250….

    £36995 now … Manual - Warranty - 1 owner not enough to offset colour combo and miles it would appear…

    I thought that sold on the collecting cars auction site but it has different wheels to the one on Autotrader

     

    @Tony Daniel that CC one is PDK with less miles etc. 

    @moospeed was just browsing, but thank you. If I fancied a GTS I’d definitely have a view / might be a cheap way into one with warranty.

    Still think this would be good fun for the money (any stories / rabbits aside) 😄

    Thought I spotted something familiar today at Caffeine and Machine! Looks fantastic in the flesh.

    That looks fantastic - @timbobaloboxgenius work 👏 hope the bodywork fix is straight forward enough. What a great project to read through.

    Glad you posted it actually, has given me an extra nudge to advertise mine.  Couldn’t decide where but looks like autotrader might  be the best bet, mine is less miles, much better spec, and will have a better warranty - for less money, so should compare well against the competition maybe.

    I didn’t realise Pistonheads charge for ads now, didn’t have to pay before but it’s been a few years ago I guess…

     

    Here first 🙂 sounds a good car 🏁

    Not sure, been trying to sell mine for 6 weeks or so had a few enquiry’s but no viewings.

    comes with a Porsche warranty as well!

    Tricky isn’t it - so many good things about your car. But I guess the beige will have a limited appeal - and folks want everything for nothing - PSE / PASM / Sport seats / paddles etc… 

    Saying that I’m sure someone will come along and value the mileage / length of ownership / low owners / warranty aspect - great cars the 981S.

    GLWTS.

  12. @832ark I’d agree with the above. Reasonably priced from an OPC - (£20 ish each) brembo parts with a porsche label on. Pre bent / correct fitting with the spring clips as @½cwt mentioned. 

    My front flexi to calliper ones when new pictured below (when I did those / ss flexis and nipples).

    Worth replacing the bleed nipples at the same time if they are in any way slightly manky.
