Fresh Pork
« on: February 24, 2011, 08:56:39 pm »
Well finally, I have found my Porsche 911. its been a long time coming (approx 37 years - from birth!). I paid the deposit today on the following car;

2006/06 Carrera 2S Manual
49000 miles
Seal grey
19" Carrera Sport wheels
Sunroof
PCM and phone
PDC
Sports chrono plus
Rear wiper (I cant believe this is an option)
BOSE
CD changer
Multifunction steering wheel
Floor mats with leather edging ( option???)

The car has just had new front and rear discs and pads, 3 new tyres and a full 111 point inspection. I have also got them to replace the clutch as he told me it felt heavy, and they are sorting out the leather on the o/s bolster. It will come with a 6 month warranty, but Ill be sticking a Porsche warranty on it soon.

I have yet to see the car, but the dealer, who Ive been chatting to over the last couple of days, have really inspired a lot of confidence in me, but I'm going to get it checked by the local Porsche dealer anyway.

Collection day should be next Thursday, providing I can get the clutch and inspection done in the mean time.

Here is a link to the advert ( I didn't pay screen price), and Ive uploaded a couple of pics. Just to say this was the number 1 colour choice and the number 1 wheel choice for me - I am on cloud nine at the moment.

I'm off to the Dam in the morning, so wont have to chance to think about it over the weekend, so only 4 sleeps! Ill then have it a week then I'm off snowboarding, but Ill try and use it as much as possible in the mean time!

Yeah its on disc, the drive is under the front bonnet on mine

The leather mats i think come as a package with the leather dash, again a optional extra

Well specced  :happy2:

Very nice mate, you'll have to wait a few weeks before you can put a Porsche warranty on as they won't allow it because you bought it from a 3rd party.

Forgotten the exact time though.
