Not a big fan of Porkas....but
911 GT2 RS.....the new one....limited edition!...very good performance figures... 911 Turbo S (997) ..... Sell the wife and kids, take out a loan....and drive at 200 mph.....life is too short.... Back to reality, I've had a look on pistonheads....u can get a (997) Turbo for like £60k these days!... |

A 'friend of mine' (if you know what I mean ) called some traders today regarding some nice looking Cayman S' at decent prices, like this one.....
They seem to be seriously good value away form the OPCs. |

See you keep looking at the Cobalt Blue ones - a favourite of mine too. The 2 years warranty doesn't look good value suddenly - you're paying about a £4k mark-up for it (I know I've over simplified it; I'd still prefer a dealer car).

Me too - the colour and the dealer car. The cheapest Cayman S is over £25K at an OPC, in fact the one near you Rog (Wilmslow), and that is a high(ish) mile one.

I'd offer to go and check it out for you but I've banned myself from that dealer .

This just popped up.... 987 Boxster S, 40K miles, 19"s, PCM and good colour for less than £20K. Not at an OPC but at JCT600 in York. Seems good value. Is this Helen's local/favourite Audi joint?

Lol, just finally sat down and browsed on here.
No Peter never been to Audi York. Grimsby is where I got mine from. Porsche is OPC Leeds. They're all part of the massive JCT 600 group, which is handy actually. So presumably if that was up at say OPC in Leeds, Sheffield or Newcastle, it would be more expensive because of the Porsche warranty added to the ticket price? Looks a good example though. Two black Cayman S I was interested in have both sold this week. |

I called the Porsche Centre at Wilmslow to discuss that Boxster S with huge spec and hardtop, the chap said that they had taken two deposits on it! Were your Cayman's at OPCs? |

I would have thought you could ask for a Porsche warranty and Audi York would arrange it through OPC Leeds or Sheffield. No harm in asking? Can't remember off the top of my head how much a Porsche warranty is for the Boxster but the Turbo is £1,250 p.a. Yes, the Caymans are all at OPC's as they're Generation II models. Had a play in a Boxster Spyder on Wednesday (thanks Russell). What a great 'toy'!! LSD as standard, reduced weight, sports exhaust etc, etc. Fantastic fun...........not practical though. Had the full bucket seats and there is no easy way to exit the car gracefully. |

Don't you just love Official Porsche Centres...... dolly bird receptionists, attentive, slick salesmen, decent coffee and a selection of light snacks (just like the Airport Club Lounge), and some very, very shiny, exceptionally well prepared Porkas....

Saw a lovely new 997 Turbo S - a very excited boy ran over to it and said "is this Dad's?" to which his Mum replied "Yes". He just stood there beaming with a mixture of excitement, awe and pride. I said "your Dad's done well hasn't he" to which he nodded enthusiastically |

The regular Carrera is underpowered, burger food. The Cayman may be more expensive than the boxsterS but having been with a few on track there is no comparison. The former is far quicker on a circuit if you can live without the droptop. GT3RS does it for me |
