phazed Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 My daughter and I have been looking for a nice standard car for her first Porsche. Nothing shouts out at the moment. Does anyone know of any good known cars that are available? We are based in the Dorking , Surrey area. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phazed Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Is that the one that is in Durham? If so it’s about 300 miles away! again, if that is the one, I saw it advertised and it looked perfect for her. if it’s another, I shall try and find the advert if it is still up.

phazed Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I just clicked on his profile and it seems he had a 987S, is that the one for sale? If so, that won't fit the bill as my daughter is looking for a 2.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Mate, if there is a car in Durham that’s perfect for her, go to Durham! Some of us went a lot further than that! Gutley‘s in Kent and he went to Edinburgh... I’m in Portugal and went to Frankfurt... Durham is no biggie and you get to know the car on the way back!

phazed Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Max of £10K Ideal car would be a 2.7, nice colour without a black interior, fair miles, a good history and not 8 owners like a lot of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am contemplating selling mine as I am hankering after a 981gts. Trouble is, it has a black interior but is totally cherished , 2005 atlas grey, 50,000 miles lots of nice options, 3 owners with all the work done you would normally need to carry out, e.g exhaust bolts, condensers, new coffin arms, tubing forks, drop links all round amongst other things. If of interest, let me know, I can send some details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice (grey interior) Looks to be a nice example if the MOT advisories on it have been sorted - but would expect the seller to put a new MOT on it and make an allowance for those advisories if they haven't been done,as the track rod end advisories they were on there last - having had both my track rod ends done at an Indy last year it would also require a geo afterwards IIRC so about £300 worth of work roughly on the advisories I think , unless you are handy with a spanner - love the colour and the stripes.

Gonna wait a couple of months and hopefully a good few appear for sale. Not much choice about just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazed Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just putting this out there while I was browsing. This must be a scam, surely? Although he has feedback. Thoughts?

Philc Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 The lotus in their other listings is a real bargain (I'd go for scam too) Edit: feedback is all as a buyer, not seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
