Might regret posting this, but is this a bargain?

If so I am going to buy it!

Big step up from the VX I sold today!

I would say it is priced correctly rather than a bargain.

One thing to consider... if the engine has been played with (580bhp - this figure sounds high for just a chip) you won't be able to get a Porsche extended warranty.

All IMHO.

Looks nice though, good luck, they are awesome cars.

Check Freewheeler's profile, the car also has Ruf Headers, Cargraphic Exhaust with 100cell Cats and ECU upgrade.

I had no problem with the 111 point check or extended warranty on the car!

I'm sure they are happy to take your money, its when it goes wrong and someone looks properly

Agreed!!

Spent the day looking in to running costs and insurance. I think it will be a bit beyond my budget.

Thanks for the info guys.

[sambaman]

then stretch your budget...........looks a million dollars

[Freewheeler]

What sambaman said!! I owned that car for almost three years and loved every second of it! It was serviced regularly and never once let me down!! You won't be disappointed!

[cableguy]

Had mine for around six months now and cannot think of anything that can outpace, handle and look as good as the 996GT2 for the money.

As said, up your budget and "welcome back to the thrill of driving".

[Pork_n_Beem]

Running costs dont have to be silly, there are alternatives.

Thats the sort of car i want mine to be in a year or so.

However going staight to a 580bhp GT2.....mmm think carefully about your previous experience, motorsport experience would be useful, superbike experience would also be good, otherwise.....get good insurance.

cheers
