My New Toy
Had to sell my 911 turbo as needed the money for a deposit on a house, but bought this instead for £8,750.
76k on the clock, full specialist history and sat nav. Looked a bit ordinary at first... But 3 days after purchase looks a whole lot better: Really enjoying driving it about - far more than i thought i would! Maybe I'm not so scared that every squeak will be another £1k needed.

That is cheap I have to say. It's amazing how much better the car looks with just a simple wheel change.
Not long ago I looked at caymans but I ended up getting a E91 335i instead. |

It really is!!
Its a little underpowered (3.2 was £4k more roughly!!) but around town etc its great! Really nice having a convertible - i can see the attraction now having never owned one (or wanted one) before.

to be honest I think the original wheels are ridiculously too small, nice car though
I didn't realise these were so cheap, had a couple of E46 M3's for around the same money |

Looks nice.
I was debating one a year or so ago. I think that because of the potential engine issues, the prices on them have bummed, which is why you can pick them up so cheap. |

My first thought looking at this was "those wheels would need changing"...
Then I scrolled to see the next pictures and you've fitted the exact ones that initially came to my head! Lovely looking motor |

The 2.7 is a much safer engine option from what I've read - the 3.2 has a few issues, which affects about 5% of cars from what I've read up on.
2.7 is quick enough - coming from a 450bhp twin turbo 996 - everything feels slow!

They are (as with most Porsches I've driven) a real hoot to drive. Looks way better on the new wheels too. |
