Porsche 911 Carrera T

[Neil1911]

Mine's looking at 3 years now, I may not bother again, the replacement should be here within 6 months.....

After 4 years, you won’t still be washing it every 8-14 days!



Cheers,

Especially when the weather gets cold…

My best mates wife has just picked this number up. 991.2 carrera with a few bits, 2018 with 9k miles and two services done, all for under £80k!

^^^ Nice. Only 9k miles after 4 years!? Barely run in!!

Quite. I love the 991.2 because you get some proper shape and paint on the front and back as well as the side skirts. Had a quick spin in it and remarkably quiet and smooth, but a long way down to get in and out…

^^^ Mine’s noisier and lower.

Very nice. Is that the base carrera? When I was looking before I got the Macan, the prices were around £80k for an S.
Is that the later .2 with GPF fitted, that makes a big difference to the sound.

Yes the .2 version, base carerra. It’s got sunroof, SC, Bose, full leather and a few other bits and bobs.
She’s been looking for a few weeks and pretty much all over £80k comfortably for low mileage examples. Her husband has just bought a Cayenne so this ended up being offered to them as soon as it came in before being advertised - also it’s got full PPF which was £3.5k!
I think the base model gives by far the biggest bang for your buck in the 911 world but none of them are exactly cheap!

Yeah, they're not cheap, but after driving one I can understand why they are held in such high regards.
After driving the 992 (pretty sure you've driven one) and now a 991.2, would you say the 992 is worth the upgrade cost?
I drove the 992(s) at PEC and it was superb, but never sat in a 991.

Good question…
Probably not (for me). The 992 feels physically bigger and the interior is a big difference in terms of bigger screen and more modern feeling “buttons”, but I couldn’t really tell the difference in driving them but then I’m not an expert.
The cost of the base has gone up again for a 992 by another couple of grand and now seriously considering looking at a used version instead.
I will stick with a base as even new there is a £13k hike to an S for different wheels, quad tips and 60bhp!
