But quality is certainly worth the price that you pay!

It's worth £509 of anyone's money but I'll give you a grand as I'm a philanthropist with a love of tree surgeons haha

I would remove your expensive parts I think.. the car itself still low miles? Early tax bracket and looked after should fetch £12-14k?

your parts should fetch 60-70pc of new cost, maybe more?

yes would probably end up with better money if I removed the suspension/brakes/wheels / interior ....

was thinking 17 for it as it stands but I think 16k is more realistic with everything on it

oh also has hard top , just serviced inc plugs / coolant / valve check ect

Your parts are worth a fair chunk but I appreciate you may need to pay for swapping off

Your brakes and Ohlins must be worth north of £3k?

think the brakes were around £1500 and ohlins £1700 .... both covered around 2k miles . So I would imagine I’d get around 2k back for those . Have the standard brakes / suspension, so that’s an easy swop . Interior is the hard part to swop .... plus finding a set that is in immaculate condition to swop with mine would be impossible I feel . I’d much rather just sell as a package inc the standard suspension/ brakes ect thrown in .... I’m going to go and test drive a 981 cayman s , 997.2 Carrara s and 981 boxster s and then go from there

Low miles and hasn't been driven hard, because you drive like an old lady! GLWTS!

Make sure to drive up in the S from a spirited run so you'll jump from one to the other to get a direct comparison.

Also getting the brakes/suspension off are easy to swap out (plenty of threads on here) but it'd need a wheel alignment/lots of bleeding afterwards again. As others have said returning the car to standard will make you more money but advertise her for awhile and see how you get on.
