I fancy a 992 targa. However, I can’t find a decent buyers guide. Do they have the 991 turbo issues? Anything else I should look for?

I know cars depreciate, what are we talking on these, circa £5k a year?

It’s this or a nice sl55 if one ever comes up!

I just sold my Targa 4S to help with a house purchase.

Wonderful car, the only issue I had was the battery died just after its 4th birthday.

I got back £8000 less than I did when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago. It is now up for sale for more than I bought it for.

Are they difficult to sell also? Which was yours? I think the 4s might suit me more than a gts!

Mine wasn't.

I had 7 Porsche dealers fighting for it
