Is it a turbo or a 4s though? Listing says one thing, headline another. Not a bad price for a turbo, ridiculous for a 4S!

Oh do keep up 007, it's got RED brake calipers.....it must be a Turbo! I'd probably buy a 4S with at least half the mileage for the same money smile

The good thing about being in that car is that you wouldn't have to look at the outside of it....

Yep your car is mega... but it's not 'Showroom'... you may think it is of course...and not knocking it... Get it on a ramp and you'll see what I mean..

To me showroom means that it has 0 miles on it and is 'New'..

50 or 60K doesnt matter..... thats a lot of miles and the car will not be showroom.... of course it may be 'mint' or 'perfect' but all these appraisals
are subjective....

My car has done 18K and its not 'showroom' ... some folk may think so...but the closer you look and the more time you spend looking, the differences reveal their ugly heads smile

Am I the only one that thinks a 59000 mile Panny Turbo shouldn't be more than £40k? I don't even think I'd pay for £40k for it be honest and Panny's are growing on me as I head towards beardoness

Nice to see someone buying a Porsche and not being afraid of putting a good few miles on it.

Considering the fuel bill that must of been, I wonder if the previous owner kicked a football for a living.

Surely showroom condition just means it wouldn't look out of a place in a showroom (in this case a used car showroom)? Hardly the same as being new. confused

I've no idea on value but as a car it looks great - the wear on it is likely to be no more than one with half the mileage or less for which you'd pay significantly more no doubt.

I wish! I think it will go quite quickly at that money; alot of people these days don't worry about mileage; especially on Ze German cars!

I hadn't realised that the calipers were permanently welded in place
