OK I've been looking for a nice manual 996 Turbo which is 2002 plate onwards.

Budget is £30-35k.

Seal Grey with black leather would be my ideal colour combination with Sports Seats.

Anyone got any suggestions of cars currently for sale?

I know a really nice Turbo s ..probably comes at low Forties if you can stretch the budget at all?Turbo s much better car and should hold value better because of its rarity and high spec imo.

There is a very good one for sale advertised on Pistonheads - 996 tt (2002), grey polar, 25,650 miles, Full Porsche Service History (always serviced by Porche Mid-Sussex), just came back today from its service from Porsche Mid-Sussex and it has a Porche Warranty until June 2011 (the Porsche Warranty was put on it today). The car is in immaculate condition and is in showroom condition (there is not one scratch on it) - I know it is a very good one as it is mine (I have owned it for 3 years). £34,500. Price is non negotiable.

Possibly, but I want to make sure any replacement is good enough as good 3.2's are hard to find (and the current one was my 2nd and replaced a 993).

A bit high in the miles but this one is a great car...

Not only is the car in perfect condition both inside and out, it sounds gorgeous too. They are a great bunch over at Buckinghamshire High Performance and would recommend buying from them.
Looks very nice indeed.

Is this the one in Hampstead, which has just gone up in price by £2k?

Had seen the one at MKG 3000 advertised but it had been up for sale for a long time so I assumed that a few people would have viewed and there may be reasons (potentially a wrong assumption).

The main reason it isn't Seal Grey looks (Meridian Silver) and it has the stnadard seats.

Gone now so I'll keep looking.
