I believe that that particular Dealer gained some notoriety in the past. I wouldn't entertain it, personally.

I know the owner of this garage. Good guy, and the cars are meticulously prep’d.

They get some really nice cars in, and I window shop on their website most days 😊

I wouldn't personally want a 911 with a torque converter automatic, seems to miss the point of having a sports car, but others might. (PDK came along in 2009).

And only £27,000 more than the one the OP is considering.

Looks nice I'd get it inspected as a matter of course but I'd go & take a look.

Yes, a PPI would be a requisite given the PPI cost is tiny compared to the total outlay.

If I was dropping £40k on any car, I would very likely buy from another dealer too....

Over the years I've learnt to judge the car not the dealer, I've even bought from Motorhub.

Personally, I wouldn't be able to get my head around 93k miles and £40k...So if I'm thinking that others will if / when you come to sell. Just a thought.

It's the cheapest 997T on PH or AT, the price seems in line with the mileage to me, the next available lower mileage ones are £9-10k more. Buy cheap, sell cheap, there'll always be someone looking for a performance bargain and prepared to accept high mileage, especially if service history shows that maintenance has been kept up with.

Personally I'd be interested in https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202108085... , however not everyone wants to buy privately at this level.

I don’t know if it was knackered (probably) but I drove a 997.1 Turbo on an experience day last month and it was pretty bland and felt weak.

Admittedly I drove a 520bhp 6.2 C63 there which has a masterpiece of an engine, but I expected more of the Porsche.
