GT2 - FFS someone talk me out of it

[Vesuvius 996]

Porsche East London have an AMAZING GT2 in Polar.

9k miles. IMMACULATE. Up at 69k.


They even gave a good bid on my current car.


ARGH!


Problems

1. Insurance is 3k PA(!)
2. It's got ceramics, which scare me


HELP!

[mpbcs]

Just do it! Insurance should be less than that... speak to Paul harris at AON. Nice to meet you in the car wash!!

[mpbcs]

Ceramics should be fine too... if you need to then get them x-rayed. I changed mine for floating steels and they were nearly as good but did rattle.

[Vesuvius 996]

Good to meet you too.

Now I want a 360 FFS!!!!!

PM me about a beer.

[Dave 321]

Buy it! Savage car

[Vesuvius 996]

The bid I got surprised me. Really good.

3k... must be down to your address, age, penalty points etc.? I currently pay £750 per annum with a Porsche Specialist, Sun Alliance Policy and fairly low excess.

Awesome car and you only live once... don't let the Ceramic horror stories bother you too much as they're plenty of us with no real issues. As long as they are in good condition you can either run with them or budget within the purchase price to change to Steels and keep the Ceramics for re-sale.

Good luck in your decision.

Can't PM you!!!

Do it. You live once then you're dead for a very long time. Dont worry about ceramics enjoy them for 100 miles, then they disintegrate, then bung alcons on, job done.

Carbon pack! yum

[Stu R]

Do it

[CraigBruce]

Buy it quick before someone buys it just to polish it!!

I posted about a far cheaper ceramic alternative to new Porsche rotors a few days back - look for the SystemsST thread.

[Erik997]

Mate - that won't hang around for long - time to get the cheque book out...

You know it makes sense...!

360? Please...

[Freewheeler]

Just do it!! The 996 GT2 is up there with the best of them!! Oh

Try Admiral 0800 600 800, they do mine and appear cheap and efficient. Hope it helps.

Just do it 'suv, it'll knock the girls bandy and anyway it's a GT2, so it is your duty to buy it.

Think what nervous would do.
