wilburforce Posted 18June, 2018 Report Share Posted 18June, 2018 I'm in need of a new daily and looking around for a manual 997. Preferably an S with Sports Chrono and lowish kms but will consider the 3.6 as well. Would possibly consider a 996.2S in manual as well - but that's at a pinch. Who's got what? Anyone had a look at this one? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2005/SSE-AD-5461046/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilburforce Posted 19June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19June, 2018 As silly as I am I’ve still got a filter which says a GT3 as a daily is a bad idea on many levels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is a classic - as there is not one word of the car's description in the text: https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1998/OAG-AD-16177923/?Cr=1 There is only a whinge that you shouldn't bother them - because, I guess, they are soooo busy & important. "..... and welcome all genuine enquiries. But if you still need to clear the purchase of a Porsche with your accountant, partner or even your own conscience, please enjoy the photos and come back to us when you are right to go. Please only enquire if you have a genuine interest in this vehicle, as we are charged $$$ for every enquiry made. ( Please don't enquire more than once on the same car )We are located on the Sydneys....." 100% I agree! I guess if a dealer screws you you could get everyone you know to make an enquiry ? BTW I loooove that colour. I might have to go and have a look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2000 Posted 9July, 2018 Report Share Posted 9July, 2018 Description says black, but could possibly be ash grey (or whatever the dark grey is). Looks like maybe the rear lights and fogs have been "updated" https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2005/SSE-AD-5541337/?Cr=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the rest of Sunday looking into 996TT again after catching up with @Fraz Baaah, if I had known you were that keen I would have really corrupted you and taken you for drive mate. If your keen on a Turbo @wilburforce come and have a detailed look at mine which will set a good base line and I can give you some pointers on what to watch out for. Great cars, you won’t be disappointed with a 996TT, do it. 5 hours ago, hugh said: I know of a neat 964 targa.
