spotted a cracking car in the classifieds at a cracking price?
post it up, link, details & pictures if possible. so my starter for ten....

now i know silver isn't the most dynamic of colours, & some will always hanker after the 3.8S but with rumours of bore scoring in the larger engines this has got to be worth a cheaky bid, under 22k thousand miles full history & just serviced, sat nav, pse, heated seats, pasm, etc what's not to like?
it even does without the rediculous looking rear wiper!

Yep agreed, seems great and in a good nick too. Polished tail pipes is always the sign of a weirdo like me, or maybe just been properly detailed.
Silver would not put me off at all, if anything it suits the shape, is timeless and so easy to look after.
Can't see the need for a bigger engine. I suppose if you can get it for £25k it shouldn't lose much money.

wonder if this one sold privately or went for the part ex as described ion the ad? good spec with sports exhaust & cd player (though no aircon & no sat nav), plus the right buckets & wheels.
interesting to find out what these are booking at at the moment? £33k? sure to drop over the next couple of months, private sales circa £32k around xmas?

i think this one looks stunning & comes with every extra you'd want, again when the winter price drop puts them closer to £30k they start looking pretty good

Its a shame you were not open to offers of around 30k a few months back when I was looking as I was interested in your car but just not at the price you wanted for it then!
As I think someone said to you at the time, if you wait long enough the market will come to you.Edited by Manks on Saturday 24th September 13:41

Yes but patience with money burning a hole is not easy
Which hopefully this thread can help with Any info for potential buyers would be great help I guess, if a cars been seen before at a higher price & it's been dropped or even if it's just been up for sale for a long time someone can look on here & get a bit of info from others.

though i think for that kind of price i'd be holding out for lower mileage,
this is the problem i've come across, everyone is obsessed with the number on paper rather than the condition and history of the car. When i bought this car(44k miles) i views plenty of others some at low as 26,000 - none were in the same condition as this one.jimmy p said:

i was open to offers of "around £30k", you made no attempt to view the car, just emailed me saying you wouldn't pay "more than £30k" for a 2004 car IIRC (apologies if that was someone else)http://www.stratstone.com/vehiclesearch/used/porsc...

i'd suggest at those prices i wouldn't be giving much care to whether they can spell carrara or not
Exactly - usefull thread. Maybe its a good thing that some of these garages dont have a clue what they are selling as you may get a bargain. That white C2 convertible is the lowest price i have saw.MogulBoy said:
Whatever brown they are, the seats (particularly the passenger seat!) in the white Cab look rather saggy after 5 years / modest mileage.
Modern Porsche build quality, what more do you want 
They're not ruffled are they? That always just looks rather knackered to me? Though I must say the brown interior kind of does it for me (must be something to do with the v8 vantage with kestrel tan interior I was tooling around in yesterday?!), shame about the White exterior.
