Planning for the future which i may pish forward quicker than The OH would like...

Budget is approx £60/70k and am looking at a 911.2 Cab.

Have seen some 12 plates but also some 14/15 plates but these are 4 not 4S. One in particular is heavily specced.

Questions is would there be regrets not going for the S?

Currently she drives a 400 plus BHP Audi S5 Cab....

Presumably you mean a 991.1 as the 991.2 came out in 2015. Why a 4wd it of interest? The 2wd is much more suited to the cab imho, and there are more of them to choose from. A good lowish miles 2wd cab from 2014 would be well in budget and a cracking car. Also has the benefit of the NA engine. Something like this for instance;

A very different proposition to your OH's car, but plenty quick enough with the top down ??
Enjoy the hunt for your perfect car.

Ooops yes meant 991.1

She has always had quattros so likes the security of the 4wd.

I also prefer the look of the 4 as I believe it has the wide body?

There are two 4s within budget but they seem to be very rare! From research have also potentially gone up in value?!

Looks a nice car but I'd check out a 5 year old car with five owners very carefully. Buying from a Porsche dealer will get you a warranty which I'd want personally, but you can always get your own warranty independently.
