bandit_287 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Went to a local garage yesterday to look at a TT for a friend and in there chanced upon a 981. I've been looking for a while for one in the correct price, miles, age and spec etc. This thing has been maxed out on spec, has everything I wanted and much more, low miles great price but it's white! If it was black I'd have done a deal with them yesterday. It's so difficult finding the correct Boxster. Most other cars, it's easy to find the one you want but finding my ideal car is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So if anybody is looking for a very nice 981 with all the goodies try here. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201706226670791?atmobcid=soc4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Car can be wrapped to anything imaginable for under £2k. White looks brilliant, an easy re-sale! Auto-Strada are also 16 miles from my doorstep. I viewed a 986 there last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbie Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Why were the OPC trading this car out? I would have thought it was ideal OPC stock unless there is some issue with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderman8 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Wonder if it's ex-demo with that big options list? White doesn't put me off but it's too rich for me, even if I got £10k for my 986 which I think is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 It's a good car with a great spec too. You wouldn't get two year Porsche warranty though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Could always negotiate a bit off the price to cover a 111 point OPC check and a years warranty. I'd assume under normal reading laws etc they will give you 3/6 months of their own warranty on nonwear and tear items anyway?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit_287 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 12 months RAC platinum warranty included. It's not black though as if I was I think I'd be doing a deal. It's a lovely car though and has loads of toys but I'll wait for a black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. makes me think there is some reason why OPC couldn't offer 2 years warranty otherwise I can't see why it would have been traded out. If they are selling it for £37k I wonder what they gave the OPC for it. I can't see the OPC having a problem selling it for £37k with 2 years warranty. Unlikeley (though not impossible) to be overrevs being a PDK. Accident /repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
981Ad Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Very nice 981, but it is missing PASM which would be a deal breaker for me as it's not a retro fit item. Love the red seat belts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Have the X73 sports suspension fitted for just over 2K job done and it will stick to the road like glue, mine does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 @bandit_287 I wouldn't let the colour stop a purchase! All it did for me is narrow my mind and miss good examples. Colour/paint is the easiest thing to change these days and doesn't change the way the car drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMA Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Lovely spec and colour, shame its not got a proper gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 No PASM and it has the plastic dash but otherwise not too shabby, black is a little mundane for such a great looking car, wouldn't choose White either but at least it shows off the lines.

Waxy Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I think white suits the car brilliantly...but then I might be biased.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubastu Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Nice spec.. I looked at this the other day no cruise control though trying to find one that ticks all the boxes is indeed like finding a needle in a haystack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit_287 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Cruise can be retro-fitted for about £500.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yup, @scubastu do your research on what options you want and if/how much for them to be retrofitted, it should get you a wider choice of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing queer as folk, still if we all liked the same things it could end badly. We are contemplating changing our daily and seen the perfect replacement apart from it is black. If it was white it would most probably be sitting on our drive by now Good luck with the hunt, love a good hunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
