Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2017 911 Turbo S this weekend. Have been looking for a couple of months and this one has stood out recently.

Right colour, right options and benefits of Porsche approved used. Goes without saying this is big purchase. Any current owners have any thoughts on this car? Cheers

3 previous owners in a year??

What a machine tho sorry can’t help... enjoy whichever one you choose.
Be interested hear why at that price point you are wanting a 911 turbo S over the likes of

And

Porsche maybe more usable and inconspicuous ?? Maybe find the others a bit vulgar ?

The turbo S appeal is that it's the whole package, yet fairly discreet. On first look it could just be a normal 911. I'm not into drawing too much attention which is a higher likelihood with a Merc or Mclaren. Could be wrong though!

Yes it's the 3 owners that is making me a little nervous at this price point. Will do some more research and report back.

I concur that the Turbo S is amazing. So pleased for you to be considering one.

My only serious reservation is that your intended is far too close to the price of a new one and that if you’re going for it you may as well order exactly what you want then there is absolutely no ambiguity and you get the chance to look after it like it deserves, especially since you admit it’s a special treat for you rather than being loaded to the point of it not mattering.

Best of luck - PS saw a black one like that the other day and it looked spectacular in an understated and considered way. Fantastic!

A few years back I had a neighbour who bought a 12 month old M3. He was the 5th owner.

At that price I'd be buying new.

Nice car BTW

You can't order a new 991 turbo, will have to wait for 992 launch.

Gutted. I knew that would happen if I waited too long. I hope it’s good...
