I know this one looks a lot nicer than the 996 but why is it so much more money ??

993's do hold their price but I would want one under 9 years old so I could get the warranty for 895 quid for piece of mind. I prefer the 996 Turbo myself

Rarity - far fewer 993TTs were made than 996TTs, plus they have developed a cachet as the ultimate of the last-of-the-aircooled - this one is also low mileage, for which Paragon are doubtless looking to charge a hefty premium.

They're up at mad prices lately, although it remains to seen whether it sells at anywhere near

That 996T has way too many miles on it for my liking. It just never looked like a true evolution, that car. It just looked like it had loads of bits bolted on. The 997T just bores me to death.

The one from bad boys is still my favourite.

Jamie - If I was going to stick German metal I may well have gone for one of these. They are great VFM especially that 02 plate one. Warranty can fix the expensive stuff, buy one condition NOT mileage cliche I know but just trust me I learnt the hard way. One of my colleagues has an X50 Turbo which is a nice car to drive, certainly quick, seal grey too which is lovely. As I found with my C4S the 4 wheel drive does deaden the drive a bit.

Of course 40k buys you a LOT of Maser You can probably get a Gransport now for that kind of money

How big are your balls......
THAT IS A METAPHORIC QUESTION DO NOT DO A 'BADA'

Yep....

400bhp, V8 and RWD



and just look at it :cloud9:




and they have a yellow one too. As it is from a main dealer they will come with 12 months warranty too. Which unlike the Porsche one includes all diagnostic work.

Oh and the important stuff, the receptionists are better looking and the coffee brought to you rather than Porsches self serve effort.

The downside fack me you pay for the service at a main dealer, mind you Emblem one of the best indies in the UK is very close to you.
