Don't look to bad, doesn't mention when the belts were last done or whether it has had a clutch or not.

This highlights some of the problems with ads for this type/age of car. You need to know so much more before deciding if you want to go and view a particular car or not, especially when it is some distance away.

I've made some enquiries on a couple of the PH advertised cars and we'll see what comes back on those. However......

..... in carrying out some Friday lunchtime browsing I also came across this at eporsch....

http://www.eporsch.co.uk/968Cobalt4.htm

Admittedly scope creep in terms of budget and model, but Cobalt is one of my favourite Porsche colours!

I've a busy weekend ahead but am looking to line a couple of cars up to take a look at next weekend.

I have to say though, I struggle, in my perhaps uneducated mind, as to the premium over a 944 S2 of the 968s.
