Bought this last weekend, after regretably selling my 1987 944 a few months ago, I couldn't resist the urge for another Porsche but this time something abit later.

Mileage is quite high for these at 75k, but its got the nav, bose and bi-xenon headlights. It has piles of receipts for work carried out, all services carried out on time/ mileage and at OPC's. It also has a VMS warranty until April 2015 (subject to getting to transferred over to me).

Needs 2 new front tyres, tax and an MOT very soon so will be quite an iniital expense. Also looking to get the drivers side bolster re-dyed/ repaired and sell the spare set of 18" winter wheels it came with (as I won't be relying on it too much in the winter. Would really like a set of 19" lobster claw alloys but maybe that one will have to wait.

Overall very happy with the car, it seems to drive very well especially for its mileage (I only have a 14 plate Cayman and a 27 year old 944 to compare it to).

Very nice, not sure about the 19" I have heard comments that the 18" are better all round.

Yes I've heard the same regarding the 18s being better handling wise, but just can't get on with the looks, hence why I've got them for sale.

Once you get to 175000 on the clock, you can call it 'high mileage'!
