Radish Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Looks virtually identical to mine. The 987.2 is a great car and, in my experience over the last 3 yrs, certainly not a money pit. I note that you are also based in Suffolk which has a couple of good independents, notably Reason Porsche in Crowbridge and PIE just south of Lavenham.

Menoporsche Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Cool. Number one tip; go easy on wet autumn roads. These cars don’t drift, they spin easily. Too many lose them that way. (You’ll now read a thousand discussions about tyres…) But they really are a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip: Before you take any photos, be sure to clear any weeds from your driveway, and also line up the pointy bit of the wheel badges with the tyre valves. People on here get extremely upset if these two "rules" are broken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Don't know if we have said it earlier in this thread but - find out how to check and clear the roof drains, and do it regularly especially if it lives outside and you have trees around. Plenty of Youtube help - and a trombone cleaner is your friend. It looks brilliant - enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVO Chris Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have had 5 years with my 987.2, admittedly its only covered 29k miles, but it has been a pleasure to own, far cheaper than the SLK350 or the Honda Type R previously. Great cars. I would suggest a good service shortly after you purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my 987 last summer with 60k on the clock and its's been a blast. The only thing I've had to do is an annual service with @TROOPER88- oh and a replacement hood again from @TROOPER88after two hoodies slashed it for fun 😡. Get out there and put some more miles on her - you won't be able to stop smiling I can promise you 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
