Im just looking for a 986 S, location NSW would be perfect but I am not against interstate buying. Ideally Melbourne or Brisbane as its not too bad of a drive back from there. 22 minutes ago, Fishcop said: We are - but this Daly87's thread...

I have interior pictures for you and extra details if you want them. Summary - seats and centre arm rest are not what I would expect from a 100k's, rest looks good though. mechanic has noted the clutch may need replacing soon water pump and alternator have been replaced.

I'm probably not keen enough to travel to Melbs just yet - but I do like the colour combo. Arm twist down to very low $20s and factor in clutch and IMS solution...?

I think it would be this one on gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/lilydale/cars-vans-utes/porsche-boxter-s-3-2-low-kms/1186138045?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ios_social yellow is just not for me, which is a shame because there are two or three great examples of speed yellow for sale. There was a really nice black one for sale in Vic a few days ago, contacted the owner all checked out and I was convinced I was making the purchase - sadly it’s the misses birthday this week and we had a holiday in Fiji booked so was to hard to coordinate PPI, deposits etc. it was sold to the first person to come and view it ??

TwoHeadsTas Posted 20June, 2018 Report Share Posted 20June, 2018 Yep that's the one. Funny how we either love or hate a colour. I'd have a speed yellow P car in a heartbeat, but no way I'd have a black one. But we have 2 x seal grey cars - 987S and 996.2 C2. Good luck with finding the right car!!☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with finding the right car!!☺ So true, colour is a very personal thing. I just can’t put my finger on it for the Boxster, I feel it makes it look too feminine. However a speed yellow on an old air cooled 911 is beautiful to me! I know the cars I am looking at are not expensive in the Pcar world but it is to my and my misses, so when’s it’s emptying my bank account I best make sure I love it ? I love the seal grey! Would snap up a Boxster in that colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would snap up a Boxster in that colour. I think I'd agree with you on a pale yellow, but the full bodied Speed Yellow is perhaps a bit more dramatic??? My wife's 987 (her daily) is Seal Grey with a full leather Terracotta interior. We think that colour combo is fantastic, which was the icing on the cake for making the decision to buy that car, but I'm sure there's others who wouldn't be so keen..... As you said, it's your $$ being spent, so make sure you get what you're (both) happy with ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, my comment was directed to the colour rather than the price. $18k is the asking, sure it could be had for a reasonable price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
