Thinking of selling 911 cabriolet

[smdmac]

Thinking of selling my 911 as done 800 miles this year ! Looking to free up a bit of cash and buy something fun for the summer months around the £5k mark !

want to know :

1) Should i wait until the spring to sell to achieve maximum price or is it worth the same all year round ?

2) Open to suggestions for something sporty fast & fun for about £5k ?

May come to nothing as used it over the last couple of days & had fun in the sun ! But thinking of being practical for a change !

I guess it depends how quickly you need the cash? You might get more next spring but I wouldnt imagine it would make much difference.

In terms of a 5k replacement, it depends on your criteria? If you want a Porsche, then how about a 944 Turbo? Otherwise a Clio 197 is a scream.

Good option, but you really have to row the gearbox to make those engines go. In summary quite a focused drivers car rather than a cruisy convertible.

A 197 would be pushing it at 5K, a slightly older 182 Trophy would be more like it and apparantly loads more fun. Will hold their value as well from what I can gather. Def worth a look..

Well he asked for "sporty, fast and fun" not cruisy.

Perhaps I should also say that I'm 6 foot 6 and the wrong side of 18 stone !
