Thats very cheap. The seller has only just joined the site and has never posted on the forums.

Be careful.

Thanks Molly.
Looks like the car is with a local dealer now albeit with a small mark up.
Is there anything I need to pay attention to specifically with turbo history? I currently own a 997.1 c2 so have some experience with running costs and bills.
I bought my c2 outside the specialist dealers /OPC network but inspected with a well respected garage so will go down this route again if necessary.

Looks great value, and Cobalt blue is a great colour. Ask the seller for an independent inspection at a Porsche dealer or your choosing. Could be the best few hundred pounds you'll spend..!

The seller told you this? He sold it to them?

To be honest I don't think the price is too cheap given the mileage.

From the photos the exterior looks to be in OK condition and the seats seem to have had some use which I guess is about right seeing as it's done 76k. Cobalt not to everyone's liking but personally I think it looks fab.

Get it checked out with a PPI before jumping in, but assuming it's all good then go for it.

I'd definitely get rid of the aftermarket tints though as they just make it look cheap!

There's an older cobalt manual one at RSJ with lower miles (52) for 3k more. Think I'd look to dig into my budget a bit more for that.

Molly, I found the car advertised with a dealer on autotrader, same spec etc in the same area so assume the same car as the private 911uk ad.
Having a look this week although the rsj car could be a good alternative.
What do I need to be mindful of though for the turbo models?

I read this repeatedly on here, I'm a big fan of cobalt, when I had a 997t in this colour, it was the first thing people would comment on, never in a negative way.

It's a great colour. Can't believe how bored I am of Black, Silver and Grey 911s. Next one I buy will be bright blue or guards red..........

Aqua blue (991 colour) like cobalt but turned up to 11, my new favorite colour.

Couldn't agree more on the numerous shades of silver/grey, although I'm very fond of Bassalt

Given the 75k mikes I would say it's keenly priced not very cheap.

OP - I am no expert, so get it PPId by a specialist who will do a ECU check and miles/rev ranges. Check the spoiler goes up (75) and down (37) correctly, and the engine fan works correctly.

Fabulous cars and I love mine, brutally fast and massive grin, that GT1 block is characterful, and still a bit gruff and unrefined.

Thanks Adam.

Agreed, I had a Carrera S cab before my current car and I loved the colour. I also used to get compliments about the colour of it.

[Matt Seabrook]

Just love Cobalt. Here is mine.
