Nothing selling? 997s
Discussion
That’s it!! I have been mulling over a white 911 C2S that I didn’t intend to buy a white one or a C2S vs C4S...
Decided after looking at the pictures and speaking with the dealer (in Scotland and I’m near London) to go for it! Feeling nervous and excited 😆 deposit paid..
The Car is off for an MOT and to their Porsche sister dealership for a 114 point check.
I figured white (with enough contrasting black) is less in your face.. I was getting nervous of having a 911 on my drive daily and the reactions of other motorists to a red one as a daily.. white is different enough to not be black or silver.
C2 vs C4 - read far too much and was undecided but thought that in reality for a daily, while the extra traction might be nice.. I have lived with two M5s and a remapped twin turbo 635D with a torque curve to move the planet and not had issues (not that on the public highway I ever pushed that hard).
Hoping this is the start of the dream come true for so many years of wanting a 911 and so many looking at the model of one on my desk.

I'm motor trade and car sales are really on their arse, brexit, like it or not is a major factor, if you want a book price PM me the reg and miles
Right now we’re looking 31/10/19 which is laced with total unknowns. Totally understandable people are not spending on luxuries - same story with holidays too (TUI and Thomas Cook on their arse). Houses dried up but you must live somewhere and that market is now moving again.
I guess anyone hoping for good resale of their P&J might have their chips pissed on - though if they are buying another then the step up the ladder will be smaller ...

Congrats! Looks lovely, Porsche script definitely adds to the overall aesthetic.
Nice car
Thank you.. really wasn’t sure about that graphic.. also noticed it has mesh grills fitted at the front. Nice car

Wouldn't change the grilles unless you're going to try and put a Porsche warranty on it. They'll ask you to remove them.
Thank you.. I’m not going to.. I have read the issues with grills and Porsche. I guess enough of you have concerns with rotting radiators to make this a worthwhile activity Murph7355 said:
That was quick 
No photos of the inside??
I like the script but it feels like it needs something front side and rear side too.
Have fun with it. And remember - sport plus, manual mode, exhaust on loud and depending on the road, dampers "soft".
