Lozzaroo Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Been dithering for a while but finally picked up my 987.2 pdk yesterday - yay! It does need new tyres though so what do you recommend given the the ps4s does not come in rear fitment size on the 18s. Ps2? ta Loz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozzaroo Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I don’t really know is the n rating significant? Seems unlikely but happy to be enlightened. Yeah I will post, I tried but it was too high res so will have to link out etc. Will do soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topbox Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 @Lozzaroo an N rated tyre is a tyre that is Porsche recommended. Not a a legal requirment or anything but you would need them if you wanted to put a Porsche warranty on the car. Some tyre places try to insist you have to have N rated for various reasons, insurance is sometimes mentioned for example but that is not correct.

EagleStar Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Very nice. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozzaroo Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Ok cool thanks. In that case I’m not worried. I want an all rounder but I do also want to do the occasional track day. But I don’t want track biased rubber necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cat d which happened 8 years ago, I had an independent Porsche inspection and they were happy. Mileage is 66k. Previous owner was a retired BA pilot and serial Porsche owner. I was a bit wary, it’s my first cat d, but you know when you meet the car’s owner and you just ‘know’? it’s right? Anyway, time will tell I guess but right now I’m pretty pleased with myself.

89rallye Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 bargain, well done nice looking motor, i really don't get the problem with cat d, IF !!!! its been repaired properly, i would say there is a high percentage of approved used cars sitting on forecourts that have some sort of paint work done.

Lozzaroo Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thanks, the logic for me is that it’s done 50k miles since the repair so it seems pretty unlikely there’s a major issue there. I picked it up from Newcastle and drove back to London and it was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bez 858 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I’ve no issue with Cat D/N. While the Boxster isn’t, the wife’s Fiesta is and was £5k cheaper than others, as was Mini Cooper S before, pay right price, it’s s winner, and I think you definitely won here.

Anyway, time will tell I guess but right now I’m pretty pleased with myself. Wow great price. Same colour as my 987.1 - they call it "meteor grey". End of the day it is down to trust, you could buy it for a lot more off a forecourt, but would still be the same motor, the saving can go a long way to several services & consumables + tyres!
