Just remembered this is the bargain of the decade at 50K
Yep, that's the one
54 plate, 49k miles (1 owner, lots of cumbria to london travel), £50k and back in the Porsche Warranty system. Really chuffed with how things have turned out (touch wood) -- amazingly (and yes, I know this is a bit stupid), I did not see this car in the flesh. I saw another one through the same garage about 6wks prior, and liked it, but it failed 2 inspections. This came along and they told me that it was a whole lot better - passenger seat not ever used apparently, and from looking inside, it seems like the whole car has hardly been used - carpet/leather/dash etc. all still look like brand new. Gear selection is really nice and tight as well, compared to others I drove with far less mileage. So, I'm glad I was able to trust the garage - besides they said they would happily take it back off me after I'm done with it - they reckon they turn down a fair number of 911s they're offered, and from the service I've had from them, I must say that I'm a very happy customer.
Yes, it has (relatively) high mileage, but I honestly don't believe that anyone would be able to guess using any kind of inspection, such is its condition. I think over the next 3-4yrs I will put, at most, about an extra 15-18k miles on it. Plus, being a 54 plate, it will be eligible for the extended warranty for a lot of years to come. So, the way I see it, yes I will lose money but I can't see myself losing too much, considering my buy price.
As Henry likes to say - "Buy on condition"

irrespective of the mileage you have a fantastic bargain on your hands there chum.
and you are right seal grey is a fantastic colour. both my porsches so far have been seal grey and i vowed not to have another, if only for a change. BUT if one comes along i really dont think i will be able to resist.
just need to shift my lil C2...

1st weekend with her, glad to say both baby and mother are doing fine
That's some cracking woodland you've got there, you lucky b'tard!!. You've prolly also noticed there's a rather spiffing car there yonder too, careful now
Glob, I would like to say that it was the drive to my country mansion, but then I'd be a lying b'stard. I found it whilst out for a hoon this afternoon - down near Horsham. It makes for a better background than that of my semi in Epsom

Your seem to have far more enthusiasm than the passenger!
I'm just guessing but comments of "how many more" and a constant fiddling with the radio are usually favourite.
Super looking car btw.

LOL! Good spot. Yep, women eh... no need to explain. She's one of the one's who just don't get it. Although she did want to be on the insurance. Bloody typical.
