Hi all. Does anyone know what it cost to buy a brand new Carrera S back in 2006?

I don't get this. Is it £60K then you have to add on such things as mats and a sound system?

it was £63k and yes mats extra, Bose extra

The C2S came with about £10k of extras std over and above the non S car (such as Xenon lights)

Mine has 3 years to go until Porsche will no longer warranty it. What to do? Basalt black Full OPC service and 59k miles. Pretty basic spec. Quite a list of service advisory stuff to get done.

If your budget is £32 K. Why not buy one for less than £25 K ( plenty around at that price or less ) and put the balance of £7 K or so in the bank for an engine rebuild contingency fund.
That will involve a large headache though, plus there will be other large bills. It all depends on your attitude to money and accepting what is involved in owning a high performance car. I was lucky enough to get one from a good OPC. Would not be happy if I'd bought it privately but low depreciation may take the sting out of it.

I paid 'slightly' less than that 1 year ago, for a 56k mile main dealer car with full full spec, X51, ceramics, top seats, new clutch, about 9k invoice of all work done to prepare it for sale and a two year warranty...................

seems a smidge high unless the prices are upping slightly
Snap! except I don't have ceramics. Almost exactly a year ago with 55k miles. They also fitted new clutch! Mine is Black.
A year ago I thought that aesthetically it was still modern looking, but now I look at it from different angles it sometimes looks older/more classic. I can't afford the newer 911's but wouldn't mind a shot of one to see the difference and if I would actually want one.
