I love that,but i do know a much better one...my mate sold his air cooled 911 which was a pile of crap(his and my opinion) and it is now for sale with an 75% mark-up by a 'specialist' because they washed it laughand added some 'dealer-spiel' and glamour photographysoapbox

parallel import, is it C16?

£55k was good price for a low mileage 04 car in my opinion although I guess tiptronic knocks £5k off

Quite probably sale or return with one advert being the owner, the other the dealer borrowing the car. You do see it an awfull lot.

"Automatic with Tiptronic. "

"Alloy Wheels, Electric Windows, Central Door Locking, Airbag, On Board Computer, Alarm, Immobiliser, Power Steering, CD Player, ABS"

I think (correct me if im wrong), but it is a car purchased in Europe and brought back to the UK. So not officially a 'UK' car (though I don't know whether or not it is a C-16 spec) but can be specified to UK standards IIRC.

If the car is bought outside of the EU it is a parallel import. If it's bought in the EU it's not a p.i.
