Just been talking to a dealer who showed me round a 57 plate 997turbo that he's just accepted 34k on (trade).

Full Porsche history, 10 months Porscge warrenty & 70k miles.

That's going to be up at what, 45k?

Needed front end stone chips sorting & four wheels refurbed but that was it.

Worth every penny and probably drives better than something with 10k on the clock.

Yep. Lot of car for the money, forgetting what the trade price was.

my point as well. It looks fabulous. I am not a mileage nerd anyways.

Still, that should set some precedent...

If the performance figures given are correct, it's had some serious work carried out on it !!

i.e. extra 50 bhp, 0-60 in 3.3 rather 3.8...202 mph instead 192 confused

Not to mention 25mpg...in your dreams biggrin
