What do you think? I love it!

Very different to the 993 but it suits my needs better at the moment.

16,000 miles and absolutely mint. Think it could stay with me for a long time...

Nice i've had 2 x 6T's both coupes and was tempted to have a soft top.
Very different from the 993 and i guess you're grin will be somewhat bigger driving the Turbo wink

Very different: so much more grip and obviously so much more go but still feels like a 911 and it means I can sell the 525d Touring and just drive Pork all the time!

Wonderful car congratulations! I bought a 996tt coupe in the Spring and it's the best car I've ever owned (had a 986 and 2 987s previously). You do need to get used to never being able to drive past a petrol station though :-)

Did you buy it from there?

I thought OPC had stopped stocking 996's a number of years ago.

I think this car was traded in against a 991. They'll still do 996s but it's entirely down to mileage and condition which this one made the grade on.

As an aside, "exploring the performance" on the A303 from Cornwall it averaged 24mpg. Nuts!

It's my local OPC so I recognize the parking smile I used them for some minor repairs, not bad at all. The sales guys, well let's just say that one in particular was so pushy he pushed me out the door and into the arms of RSJ!
