Good luck with the 996 Topcat......after a 965 I reckon you will live with the new toy for a few months and then want the old one back!
Anyhow what is wrong with using the car too much,,,i reckon a 996 is going to depreciate more than your current car over the next 2 years.
I genuinely wish you well with the new car,not trying to wind you up,I had a new 996 and went back to an older 911, but that was just my experience...
all the best CS

I agree with you clubsport, at £23K whats the worst a few miles can do to the value? on a 40,50 or 60k 996 it will do quite a bit of damage!

I would tend to agree with CS on this....I went from a 930 to a 996......I would certainly go back to an older 911 again,rather than a 996.

Thanks CS, i have been telling myself that im doing the sensible thing, i have a 996 lined up at the mo but i think i ought to get a roadtest in a 993 as i love the aircooled engine. Damn i thought i had it all sorted. Happy new year and i will keep you posted on what i get just so long as the turbo sells soon.

Doh... now look what i've gone and started!

[mustard]

Lend us the turbo2 for a couple of months till your yearning for it back then, jobs a good 'un! lol

one of my previous subjects!

in the unlikely event your bid is succesful cant really see how you can go wrong at that price though!

[pesty]

yeah I realise I wont win it the researve is not yet met and altough id like to bid higher I can't.

mind you if you know where I can get a cheap insureance quote from I could use what I save from what i Have budgeted to bid higher

[mustard]

its over 10yrs old (Just) so some form of classic policy maybe possible, which could result in big savings (i insure my lotus for £320!) maybe put a post up about insuring a 10yr old 911?

Hi from the Tivver corner

Happy New Year to all Porkers

Could a 993 turbo 4 be the answer to your needs? According to form they are sound for the daily commute. Just a thought anyway
