Just put a deposit down on a 911...

[woody3]

Hello everyone again,

Not posted for a while, since I did the Porsche Cayman Insurance for Young Drivers thread, which many of you prob thought "Just another young lad dreaming"...

Anyways after reading your comments on getting a 911 and the running costs etc compared to a Cayman, I thought fair enough...got a spreadsheet running and wahey!!...I can afford a 911...I hope anyway, as I have just put a deposit down on a 55reg 997 C2, thts done next to 0 miles.

Not sure when I get to pick her up, will find out soon though

Really happy...

Pictures to follow when I get it

sooo can anyone give me a taster to what I've just let myself in for....

A whole heap of fun... but not as much as if you'd bought a 996TT for the same money...

Seriously though, congrats on the purchase.

Stright in at the deep end, none of this 996 stuff for you, well done I hope it all works out

Thanks to everyone that as replied.

I would have a 996TT, but Mr Insurance man added to many 0's on the end of my premium.

Maybe a Turbo one day though...

p.s...its amazing how Porsche's pull women!

Careful, you haven't got one yet - you'll start to look like Joey in "Friends"........


P.s. enjoy the car when you get it - well done.

[willdew]

Good man - well done.

Just a note - get an insurance quote on a 996 GT2 from Elephant - insurance premiums have little to do with logic...

[chas100]

Congratulation to you. How much is it working out at?

[woody3]

Haha loving the Joey comment! lol

How much?
Not much more than a Cayman
Don't talk money...old fashioned I know, sorry...

[bermyandy]

knew you would see sense...

[rimmer]

at least you have seen sense

[PhillF]

Good on you mate.

How much for the insurance out of interest?

And get some pics up ASAP!

[Woody3]

Insurance cost me just over 3k, which I thought was very good for a 20 Year old on a 911. These days are going by soooooooooo s-l-o-w-l-y now...I just wanna drive it!! lol

Thanks for all your replies

Hey Woodie (puts on sensible boring old fart hat and prepares to duck) did your spread sheet have columns for mortgage, pension and school fees?

Enjoy your car while you can, it will be wicked, pics soon please.

where did you buy it from woody?

[Woody3]

haha David W, unfortuneatley not lol, when I do I'll update you!

I'm getting from OPC at Swindon, although I've just seen another on there which I like, so I might swap the deposit over yet, if I'm allowed...

ps...I have just used the word OPC cos everyone else does...wht does it actually mean?

Thats a very good price for the insurance, all things considered.

Do you mind me asking what you do for a living? £50k++ car is pretty good going at 20!

[Woody3]

well I seen a post a few weeks back and you all moaned cos it was full of Surveyors...n guess what...I'm a Quantity Surveyor..."runs off and hides"

[silver996]

20yrs old
50 odd grand car
Bit vague about the details......

Is it half term again?!

[Woody3]

what do you mean by that?

infact what a daft question...I know exactly what you mean...if you dnt believe me then fair enough, but will you have the guts (when I have the car) to admit I wasn't lying? I dnt think so...

also I dnt understand how you can judge me:
-I work which means I ain't a student, also live at home
-I also dnt drink, smoke etc, infact the only thing I spend my money on is cars, call me sad, a loner, whatever, each to their own

if you was being sarcastic though and the above post was in good nature then I appologise and I will withdraw this post

Just winds me up when people say things like that
