How does sports chrono work on a manual? I thought it just sharpened up the PDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAZ Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Looks a nice car but price wise isn’t that getting into 981 territory ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 These days I'm not sure it is. Prices seem to have moved up a bit. @Mattman42 wasn't yours comparable to this? I know you sold it private, but does this price look a bit ambitious to you, compared to yours? I assume 4k mark-up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, seems a bit on the strong side for me, especially as a manual rather than PDK - but spec is better than mine with PASM and PSE (but no extended leather) and obviously a lot less miles than mine had. Although as i've suggested before, when you get into the 20k price range, i think people tend to be happier buying from a dealer than private as there is some element of comeback and security, so will probably pay a little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveEFI Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Does seem quite pricey against what I paid for a one owner 2011 S PDK with less than half the miles a couple of years ago from a dealer. But it does have more toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick997 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Lol, I was watching it for ages and contemplating swapping my 987.1 for it because of its spec. Also held back because it was pricey and not different enough to mine to justify the amount. Decided to spend out on a few upgrades for mine instead, exhaust, clutch and flywheel arrive this week. Head unit and alcantara to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it just sharpened up the PDK. Having had Sport Chrono in a manual, I would concur with this:- First, it changes the engine management system. The throttle pedal response becomes more sensitive, and the engine is essentially ‘remapped’ to make it feel more responsive and livelier, although overall power remains unchanged. Second, if your car has PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), this is also set to Sport mode, with firmer damping to give even better handling, although you can also set this by pressing the PASM button.

At 50k it probably needed a new clutch, flywheel, suspension and water pump. There you go, you must feel much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is I suspect that before very long we'll think that. Before I bought mine a year ago I was watching a late gen 1 S with all the bits looked a really nice car sat around at I think £10,995 for ages and I thought they'll never sell that. These days they would sell every one they could find as fast as they could list them. In fact I just talked myself out of this one. Not because I don't think it's a bargain but if I'm going to upgrade I want lower miles and heated seats. And leather. And PSE. https://www.mortimersprestige.co.uk/used-porsche/billingshurst-west-sussex-porsche-boxster-32-s-1543/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 @iborguk I resemble that remark. Both boxsters purchased through mortimers. I consider it right money for the right thing. Not cheap but they sell decent cars (in my opinion) Not had any reason to regret my purchases so I would always “have a look” at anything on their books that took my interest.

red rocket Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Got mine from Mortimers too. It was priced on the high side but well prepared and, at the time, i was happy to pay a specialist a little extra for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 They sold my car to the guy who sold it to me. They also made me a very attractive trade in offer for it against the black one. It had been a bit younger (in miles) and had heated seats I might well have. Truth is when you see the video they send you it's not in quite so nice condition as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
