Just spotted a red 991 Carrera S with 130k miles for close to £36k asking price. Suspect limited audience with this mileage.....

Interior looks in good condition considering miles. Might be of interest to someone.

What great way into a modern 911 for £35k. I bet she drives perfectly.

Looks stunning, they really nailed the styling and interior on the 991 imo and with the n/a engine too. What a lot of car for the money -glad to see that the cars that actually get used are reasonable price. I'll leave the low mile garage queens to those who care about such things.

Only thing that really puts me off is the gearbox, either a 7-sp manual which is just a bad idea (going to a 4-plane action) or the PDK stick which operates backwards in manual mode. I guess I'd need to drive both to see if i could live with it but i get the feeling both issues would just grate on me (I'm one of those awkward engineer-y types)

I wouldn't worry about the PDK gearstick working "backwards". You either leave the box to do it's own thing and it will vary it's action depending on whether you are in normal or sport/sport plus, or you use the buttons on the steering wheel - no need to take your hands off the wheel.

This is a great spec car - if you were being picky, the only major option missing is LED headlights, but it has the all important Sport Chrono pack, PASM and PSE. Amazing value.
