servicing costs are very reasonable, my 911 turbo 12000 mile service cost Ł330 inc vat at porsche in edinburgh

24000 mile service is around Ł550 inc vat...

beware if you need anything done thats not on a menu price..i think they will charge like a rhino

got a mint 51 plate 996 turbo here for 47k if your interested

To make the most out of a car like a GT3, surely it helps to be able to drive?

I apologise for upsetting Helen, I meant no harm in any coments I make. But if you go to main dealers be prepared to get your wallet raped for anything over and above basic work.

i'm a bit bias cos i hate the 911, i would get a 928 manual, 10k for a car that will do 170+ if you get a GT or GTS ( thats porsches figures before anyone says anything), front engine rear drive V8, very good handling as the engine isn't out back working as a pengelem, but they are a look you either love or hate, at 10k if you bent it you could throw it away and get another. servicing can be done anywhere as well cos its just a 10k car not some super hitech super car costing the price of a house.

Dave,

Joking aside, you must complete the car before you do anything.

Perhaps after giving it some beans will re-inspire your love for it

You have the nerve to Tell YUM he can't afford a porsche, but you can't even afford to buy a decent Ferrari.
