Its a Carrera 2 face lift 996 on an 03 plate. Very minimal spec and in Lagoon green metalic. Yes I know its not s desirable colour but who wants to be like everyone else ?? with Black, silver or grey ?? Plus its a very clean car on an June 03 plate and has only covered 13K from new with 1 owner

I'm well happy with it

Steve
congrats

Mileage is never an issue on a 911 though, you should buy on condition

Green may be an issue when you sell it but if you're happy then that's all that matters

Don't know if you are willing to share this info but how much did you loose on the price you paid for your new S a year ago ?

5K. Which I don't think was bad.

Remember a year ago i rang round nearly every dealer in the country to get the best price and ended up with free servicing for 3 years, head rest speakers (The genuine ones), Supa guard, Moon rock, Red/black leather. and some other bits that i can't remember now, so i was pleased with what i got for it. 3K more than i thought i would plus no hassle trying to sell it on line and the loosing the Porker.

The Porsche is awesome. I have never had such a big grin on my face ever when picking up a new car.

I liked my S but it was only ever an interim car till i found a good Porsche, which has taken me nearly 18 months. That aside I have found a stunning example, which i am truly very very happy with and I quite like the colour and I am glad i haven't ran with the crowd having a Silver, Black or seal grey.

I will take some pics and post next week when i get chance

Anyway off to watch the Super Rams !!!!!!
