Your opinion on this early 996 cab.

Set aside its a tip and a cab (my choice) how does the option list sound ?
I see Sports exhaust listed, extended leather, but what is so special about "Black" calipers ?
I think the dealer has droped the pice by £1K since it was listed before christmas.
Its just up the road from me so tempted to go and see if my 6'3" frame is comfortable in the drivers seat !


Thanks

Looks nice from the pics. Black callipers are standard on a Carrera, nothing special with those.

Check the roof obviously (soft top).

Note it looks like it has only got the standard stereo (no lower door speakers or sub), which will probably be pretty pants.

6'3, you should be ok - just.

Glad I'm not the only one that looks for this!

It's also ruffled leather so on that basis... I'm out.

Forgot to ask, as package of model/age/miles/spec does it sound resonable value in todays market ?

Thanks

I'd say its good value yes - £10k for a 911 cabriolet! Not too shabby.

Just be weary of running costs - maintainence will be more than a £10k Focus for example.

Good mileage too. Check service history is all in order - find out when the radiators and air condensors have been changed (£1k bill coming your way if they are rotting).

Any crash damage etc?

I hear you on that, but when you've just spent a £1000 on a new clutch/dual mass flywheel/release bearing for your wifes Mondeo, even a ford aint cheap sometimes !!
