Budget is limited to £46k. I could go more for the right car. Hence my concern with this one ...... perfect but I thought too tatty around lower flanks - have more pics from the dealer - for me to spend £50k. I've been actively looking for 12 months now. 20 hours ago, M12MTR said: I am looking for clean, factory paint. Sounds to me you're looking for a bit of a unicorn. Manual, Red or silver, only S or GTS for £46k with clean factory paint. There may be such a car out there but given you've been looking for 12months already I think that says a lot. Perhaps time to either compromise on one of the options or up the budget significantly. Dropping Manual and being open to PDK would massively increase the field of cars given more S & GTS 981s and 718s produced were PDK. Loosing PSE as a hard requirement and retro fitting it as part of the deal or later on would open a few more cars up. Most Boxsters that have been driven on the roads will have some paint chips, scuffs, the shape lends them to be stone catchers. If an OPC will respray those parts for you as part of the sale, what difference would it make? or even take it to your own preferred spay shop and get it done to your exact standards. Every 981 Boxster I looked at when I was buying had paint somewhere on it, just a fact of life these days on the poor roads we have. Good luck in the search I hope you find what you are looking for.

I did think that too, having previously bought from an OPC, plus reading their speil about "body refinishing to Porsche standards". Perhaps they're waiting for a buyer to request repaint here? But there are other blemishes I'd not accept. So perhaps not for me. If it doesn’t feel right. Move on, for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I searched for my previous 987.2 for 2 years. And if I'm going to spend up to £50ish k, then yes I want that unicorn. I have driven PDK, lots for sale, and yes they do drive great. But I want manual. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the one it seems. Cheers. Edited June 18, 2023 by M12MTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
