Hi All,

I posted in the car buying area but it was suggested that i ask the question here as well.

I have recently moved from sunny Australia to unsunny Glasgow and in the process sold my 996 911 with the plan of getting another car here. The options are narrowed down to a 996 turbo manual or a 997.2 (2/4/S/non-s with pdk or manual but looking for optioned up cars) with the plan of taking back to Aus after using it for a few years to run around europe. Been keeping an eye on what is listed and probably missed a couple of cars which may have fit the bill. One annoying thing here is that i dont have a garage/workshop so not buying a car which needs work.

I did see a low mileage Cat C car 997.2 C4S manual for a good price, the big concern is the Cat C. Called the trade seller and they only know when (at ~18 months old) it had the damage, not what it was. They noted i could try HPI to see if could find the insurance company, does not seem to be listed when i got that report just who complied the car post repairs.

The car is down near Canterbury and was looking to see if there are any good indies for Porsche there who could do a PPI and give it a really good looking over as the car cannot have any structural/sill damage for me to be able to take it back. Any recommendations of Indies around Canterbury?

If all too hard, there are couple of in budget options of ok mile range 997.2 white C2 manual, black C4 PDK and the dark horse of some higher milage 996 turbos.

Thanks,
Taffy
