That does look like a really lovely 996...very well bought

The upgrade to the head unit massively updates the cabin IMO, seems like a flipping bargain on the face of it!

Enjoy!

Cheers . I’m just having some small works done to the rear brakes but I’m at a quandary as to what car to keep .

My 4S is on 32k miles , Hartek rebuild and great engine compression but I’d say the C2 drives better

Previous owner works in the carrera cup series and has been offered a job by Porsche motorsport so it was reassuring to buy the car from him especially as he’d done a lot of the recent works on the car his self .
In an ideal world I’d keep both as the 4S is a cabriolet but the C2 is a non sunroof 2WD and feels beautifully light on its toes .
I know, first world problems.

The way I feel right now I’d let the 4S go and keep the C2 as it’s really that good .

It also looks even better in the flesh and as you say the PCCM+ makes a big interior difference.

Looking forward to some longer drives

Does anyone know if you can tell if a car has met it's reserve prior to the auction ending?

That Fiat Panda 4x4 will be ideal for running down to the beach.

Questionable VIN, prior accident damage and 81k miles, I don't think it's going to set any records!

A micro mileage one just sold at Paragon for 1.295 mil.

and the comments have unearthed some……well let’s call them ‘repairs’ so I would be surprised if this car sells unless the reserve is lowered substantially.

I don't know about others but I certainly prefer the 2005 version of the 959
