Bit harsh innit? It's obvious he just means the serpentine belt.typical low end car sales jibber isnt it? yeah yeah mate new cambelt innit , lost the receipt but swear on my kids its all done innit
Saying that the other list of faults doesn't scream 'looks after his cars' to me.

That’s what he said, but perhaps he meant something else.typical low end car sales jibber isnt it? yeah yeah mate new cambelt innit , lost the receipt but swear on my kids its all done innit
I think calling my friend a liar for getting the belts mixed up in a quick message to me is harsh and when I say that he looks after his cars I mean that he has a list of jobs to do that he is honest about, not hiding any issues. And probably overstating them.
Anyway, I’m in talks with him this week about potentially getting it bought and getting the issues sorted myself.

Seal grey with full black leather. Not the most exciting colours perhaps, but I think the grey looks great on a 986.To put it in perspective my 2.5 was Ocean Blue with black leather, so I'm a bit boring with colour schemes...

Just because he isn't a Porsche bore - like you !!! - doesn't mean the car isn't good.
4k is a proper bargain. Dont mess around.

I agree, Seal Grey really suits them! Nearly bought an S with that same spec back in 2009, £17k at the time (OPC)!To put it in perspective my 2.5 was Ocean Blue with black leather, so I'm a bit boring with colour schemes...
This is pretty much exactly what I am looking for, but does it look like it has had paint in the photographs?

Enjoyable read, especially the bit about the look of the ad, reminded me of some posts a page or two back.

One of the reasons I went for my current 986 was a SG Boxster I passed daily on my commute - it really looks well. (though mine is Lapis/Metropole, which I also really like)
