Which is what one assumes the business model is based on.

Like doing an MOT for £25 quid.
And free brake and tyre checks

In the USA, but seems cheap for a 3.4 996 with 9k miles:

I'm more concerned about this front bumper

Mine is Ocean with Grey.

Early 996 rear parking sensors put me off more than Grey!

The grey is fine, much better place to be than a dim dark cave of a black interior.

Swap the floor mats for some dark grey or black ones as those WILL mark!

This 67k mile 1998 (cable throttle) C2 manual on 17" wheels with sports seats, TC, LSD & M030 looks very nice. I bet it could be bought for £15k (or maybe less) and I reckon would be a good buy at that:

If that checks out, it’s gorgeous. I’d have that in a heartbeat. They’re early C4 alloys.
From the ad - Porsche Classic fixed price servicing

Whats this?
This is only 2 miles down the road from me and isn't helping with my current E46 M3, 996 C2 or 968 Sport debate.

I am tempted to go for look...

Do any Carmon or Arena 986 or 987 S exist in the UK? I've only ever seen non-S models in burgandy.

Dunno, they'm rare. I have Carmon Red Metallic 986 2.7 (colour code: LM3W E4) - and I like it.

I meant to quote your post!

I've been an Arena Red fan boy ever since I had a poster of a 993 Turbo (911 HUL) on my wall as a yoof. Carmon is a more than suitable alternative!
