Stuno1 Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) The time has come to add a wanted post. I am looking for a car with as close to the below spec as possible and looking to spend late 20’s to early 30’s. This is above what WBAC and dealers are offering from what I can see. I will require a pre purchase inspection at my cost. I am looking to buy from January onwards as December is very busy! Happy to pay a holding deposit for the right car. 2013 onwards 981 s boxster or cayman. DCT with paddle shifters Full service history Under 50k miles PASM Sports chrono Sports exhaust Extended leather Bose Nav Front and rear parking sensors Heated seats Stu Edited November 20, 2021 by Stuno1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian ferguson Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hi there, do you have a preference on exterior and interior colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuno1 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 To be clear I would be paying above WBAC and less than a dealer advertises for to benefit both parties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickLS7 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm still contemplating selling mine, got everything except it's July 2012 & mileage is 52k. Think you're going to struggle finding what you want at less than £35k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're going to struggle finding what you want at less than £35k. There are a few examples already at 35k or under from dealers. Just means sacrificing one of the 3 main options. If dealers are selling at 35k ish I imagine they are buying at 30k ish. Just one example. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/12596994 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharma45 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I’ve had one saved on AT for 8 weeks. Fundamentally great, loaded to the gills option wise but white with black wheels 🤮 at least the wheels can be sorted, and i could live with white. just whether the dealer will move price wise. 2012 car so of no interest to you @Stuno1 (I hope!) https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202109247749124?atmobcid=soc4 2 hours ago, Stuno1 said: There are a few examples already at 35k or under from dealers.

Heated and cooled seats, carbon as well. Nice but yes a tad too old and high miles for what I am looking for. Even with those options it feels overpriced and if it’s been available that long the market agrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree the price is a bit strong, and that is why it's sitting. Either they're not for moving on price or it's a dog. I will find out with an email shortly, chance my arm and see where I get to. Well priced 981s turnover quickly as anyone who follows Ashgood's stocklist will see.

There is a perfect spec (colour aside) car available on AT but it’s private sale up for £38.5k which is pretty much trade prices. I may put in a cheeky 36k offer. Worst he can do is say no…. Then sent me expletives 🤪. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's what's on mine and despite some enthusiastic driving I haven't died much yet. I'm sure the Mich's are better and will maybe be an upgrade path in a while but no issues on mine aside from a little twitch on sheet ice last year and no way would any other tyre have coped better.

I got rid of 4 year old P Zero's on mine and went for Michelins, made a big difference for me re being more sure footed on 19 inch wheels. Some of it was just down to replacing older rubber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, lethal is probably a bit over the top but the Michelins give much more confidence in all weather conditions, the Pirellis are great in heat or on track 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
