Took the only girl for an MOT yesterday, first time pass, now only got 55k on it.

I've now listed it for sale on here as I fancy a change.

who has gold up and gone for something else? If so, what?

I am a bit confused - you've had it a year and done no miles in it? I'd give it a few long drives before you decide to part with it.
Yes, just about 1500, just fancy a change more than anything.

Had a few 993’s and loved every one of them.

If you’re spending all of the proceeds & still have to have a 911..a 997 GT3 would be a nice shift (I went 993 C4S to the GT3). Modern enough but also old school enough. Fab cars.

If you want to spend a fair chunk less and still get about 90% of the thrills, a Cayman R is an option, great little sports car.

Or, sticking with Porsche, a 997 GTS, a 911T, a GT4, 987 or 981 Spyder…spoilt for choice and a great selection of cars to chose from?

Or a Vantage S, Evora 410, Emira, F430, R8 V10, 570S….the world’s your oyster at that price point biggrin

Depends on what you want from a car I suppose.

Lovely 993 by the way and GLWTS
a 997 gt3 would do. I'm not really a fan of the post 997 generations. I've been in a milion circles, from ferrari ff's, to v10 r8's and some one has offered a Aston DBS + cash.

also in love with lexus lc500's! cayman R is a good shout also.

For one reason or another, i've not fussed about the woking cars.

DBS Plus cash?!?! If that's moderate miles and a manual I'd tear his arm off at the shoulder! No offence but they're a fair bit more money than a 993.

Do it.
2009 auto. they're quite a bit cheaper than a 993.

I’ve got a 240z I’m doing a rebuild on, that’ll be my small classic. So something to complement really.
