That looks like a tidy thing, lowish miles too.

Tough shout. I love both.

If you are worried get a warranty off Porsche for about £800 a year.

USUALLY tough as old boots....

saying that mines split a boost hose and thrown a belt since a have had it. Mines modifed and has been given DEATH.. a mean proper proper DEATH!

Its been over 180mph I would at least 50 times I reckon! and over 190mph alot as well hahahah!

Great cars... and thats VERY cheap!!! wow!

awesome cars. I like mine alot. I don't LOVE it though... hence why I have been flying around in my Boxster all day!

My little sister has the Turbo out at the moment. She loves it. She calls it 'The monster'

Boxsters are proper cool, shows how cool they are when you pick it over the Turbo.

I LOVE all Porsche's, such awesome cars.

Great cars for the money...If your budget can stretch to it, a GT2 is superb value for money.
