Probably tells you all you need to know. Priced as a sorted car but actually needs work and he won't drop the price to recognise this.

It did look nice and the condensers and coolant pipes had been done. Service history was good. Probably just needed new discs and pads plus a clutch at some early point. I imagine a new exhaust and suspension refresh would not have been too far off. Edited March 4, 2022 by mark-yorkshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something odd about the look of these wheels, look at them side by side to other ‘OE’ turbo design wheels! The the spokes join the rim the recess is flat, on Google images the recess is not, it’s should be a continuous smooth join. Only reason I’m querying it as I do not recall my 997 TT wheels looking like those in the Boxster image @Stuart21UK do you have close ups you can compare?

People tend to sell cars when they need money spending on them Spend your money wisely, don't get carried away or pay over the odds, a "market correction" won't be far away. I would love a 2011 987.2 Cayman S with all the toys, but would it be "worth" four times what my 2007 2.7 cost? 16 minutes ago, Bike Loon said: Are you close to being called an imbecile ...again?
