Seems OK for £10.5K but the gearbox would be a deal breaker for me. I would need it to have 3 pedals.
I think I would spend another £300 and buy this though...

Bloody hell that's strong money for the miles I've been toying with buying a 3.4 for a long time.
We need to replace our car. My amazing wife says she likes a 996 and doesnt want a 'wky' car (I think means no dull boring stty hatchback, I'll check)
In my idea world a 996 would be 3.4, dark colour, manual, C4, sunroof.
And there it is on autotrader.
Oh.

You’ve got 997 Carrera 3 wheels haven’t you? If so the offsets are slightly different to standard 996, so the wheels 7mm more poke at the rear, and 7mm less poke at the front.
I run those wheels and am looking at spacers, are you saying that the wheels are a lower offset than standard 996 wheels? I feel that my front wheels always sit too far in and the rears look about right. Baked_bean said:

The 996 turbo twists in 18x8 are ET50.
The Carrera 3s, also 18x8 are ET57, which means they sit 7mm further in than the standard wheels.
Rear
The 996 turbo twists in 18x10 are ET65.
The Carrera 3s, also 18x10 are ET57, which means they sit 8mm further out than the standard wheels.
I’ve got Carrera 3s on mine, and have 10mm spacers on the front.

Who the hell makes a feature out of the rain rails? There's a lot needs putting right on that.
A complete money pit, quite possibly one of the worse I have ever seen. The poster Huntsman needs help - what on earth is he thinking? he is going to get burnt if he thinks that is an "oh!" car. More like "doh!" julian987R said:
