I presume you’ve seen the shiny black Turbo for sale on this very forum?
Yes I’ve spotted that one and actually have it saved. That’s about my budget - but a PP version can be achieved at that price point, so I’m trying to stay focussed on one of those at the moment.

There are currently non on the Approved Porsche listing, that I personally would consider.

Yes there are Turbo PP’s listed but with 3, 4 & 5 owners and I certainly would not touch any car with so many owners no matter what deal I could get.

I wouldn’t rule out buying from an OPC - but currently none fit my criteria or budget (though they aren't too far off in respect of the latter), I’ll keep watching.

The collapsible spare in the boot of my Turbo is going to be my Headstone!

Do I have to again post “that” image of my wheel with the screwdriver stuck in the hole?

Of course my spare was used.

If I did not have the spare I would have been stuck for hours and would have had a very long walk to get to a location where I had a mobile signal.

Feels like there is some history here! :lol:

Funnily enough having been the victim of two pot hole punctures earlier this year, having a physical spare is something I’ll be looking into once a purchase has been made!

Just reduced by £2,000 for quick sale ;)

I am 2nd owner for last 5 years.

Genuinely curious where you have seen similar spec and miles PP cars for same price as I researched before pricing mine.
