Really surprised these are now available from dealers for £34,995.

Haven't seen this example, but it appears "worth a look".

What must this stand Cridfords in?

the fact its done 92k miles may have something to do with it being pretty cheap, most people will happily pay quite a few thousand more for something with a lower mileage on

Seems like a great price..... ~£5k worth of new turbos and top end freshen up and its good for another 90k!

Ork,

That's crazy money for such a car.
Bear in mind a pair of recon'd turbos (plus labour) is around £2.5 (exchange), a set of discs and pads is less than £1k, a set of tyres is £650, and a clutch is £1k (fitted).
So even if the car needs ALL of these things in the next 30k miles you're still looking at just £40k.

Nice.

Agreed, even with the possible extra outlay that looks like a bargain. Peronally I'd much prefer 92k miles to 29k on a car like that. The overall silverness does make it a bit bland inside, just me I guess.

What's the condition of the clutch like?
That's not cheap to change.
Dealers are rarely fools and may have priced it that way for a reason. 90K miles isn't THAT high for a 911....
Also on top of all the above the "big" 96,000 mile service sound about due. I know I'm knit picking and may seem cynical but when it comes to buying cars it's always wise. Especially when you see how much other 993tt are going for....
