Hello all, i' ve seen a few Box 3.2 s LHD for sale in the past in the uk... but now that i have money to buy one, i struggle to find 1 for sale..
Any idea? i' ve allready called RSJ sportscars, Auto Classica etc... nothing.
I am looking for a 6speed manual g-b car with less than 15k miles. Crash free & good options..
Black or dark-blue for around £26-27k (can be more if the car is worth it).
Anyone got ideas?
Otherwise i' ll have to go to Germany...
Regards,
Eric.

Have you tried Top Marques, Autotrader,Exchange and Mart websites etc.? There are a surprising numbers of LHD Porsches for sale on these. The only one I can remember seeing a while back was at RSJ, but I will keep my eyes open.

Domster,
txs very much for your reply... i hoped i would have more... Yes i' ve checked everything!
well i think...
*Magasines: autotrader, top-marques, Porsche GT.
*Garages: rsj (they have nothing at the mo'), Auto Classica had a black one last month but was very quickly sold.

There is a Box S Lapis-Blue (gt3 wheels & loads of kit)in the 911 magasine this month but it belonged to a german & is allready sold...

Damn-it!

More ideas anyone?

Help please!

Eric.

Have a look on 911uk.com and search under Boxster - most of the dealers, both independent and otherwise are on there so always worth a go !

Hmmm, apart from doing a google search, looking on findit.co.uk or trying here...

www.chpltd.com/911_porsche_world/pwoclass9.html

...I think it may be a case of watching the existing listings or thinking about getting a plane ticket to the land of www.mobile.de

Cheers
Dom

Jamie, yes tried this one too. Nothing!
The Lapis Blue in there was sold 1 month ago...Bad.

Domster, mobile.de... yes it is a good site... problem is if i can avoid having to go to Germany would be great!

Not a great deal to travel there i agree... It is just that given the current exchange rate £ vs Euro (worst ever if you have £)... i' d rather buy in the uk & in GBP!

So yes pls guys keep your eyes opened for me!

Many txs again,
Eric.

Buy yourself from Germany. Should be MUCH cheaper.. I looked into this late last year. I have a spreadsheet full of links, details, checklists and a walkthrough of the process etc.. E-mail if you'd like me to forward.
