I was only planning to keep the turbo for 6 months and now's the time to advertise it, the new clutch/major service and 6 months OPC warranty mean it's probably worth as much now as it'll ever be. What's the best approach/outlet?

A bit nervous dealing in 50k+ though so what are the tips for not getting robbed!?

When it comes to payment, insist on a draft and arrange to accompany the buyer to a local branch of his bank to recieve the draft from the person behind the counter. I recently sold my M3 and done it this way. All went thru fine. Dont accept a draft without being present.

Im currently looking for a RHD UK supplied 996 C4S Cab or a 996 Turbo with low miles.


Is that a Turbo cab too? If it's a coupe you're after you might want to check out my profile...

There are some awful stories about bank drafts.I insist on a chaps payment,its £20.00.You would not do it any other way with your home so why take the risk for twenty quid.

Well I'm thinking about going into the bank. I mean if I'm standing right beside the guy, in the bank getting the draft printed there and then, assuming he doesn't manage some sort of paul daniels trick I can't fail can I?

Just to warn, a Bankers draft is a CHEQUE and can still be stopped. It's all down to trust in the end. CHAPS is good, but the purchaser has to trust YOU that you won't keep the car AND the cash!
