Some great stuff here keep em coming

Having owned a 996 Carerra 4 with GT3 aero kit to be honest I was a little underwhelmed with it which is why I traded it in for my Zed. Being 4 wheel drive it handled well enough on the road and track but did not give me the excitement of being on the edge (was expecting a lot more from it). Running costs are high 21 MPG if your lucky and they eat rear tyres that are not cheap. As to depreciation, if kept fully serviced they hold their value well. But be aware of the weaknesses of the water cooled 996 engines on the non turbo models (you will not sleep at night thinking it might happen to you) as they suffer from Intermediate shaft failure and bore score (check out the forums) If you want thrills buy a 911 turbo. I much prefer the Zed for driving fun. "]http://[/url]

Very nice...and welcome

Welcome along Faye

Welcome along...Great colour choice

To be honest I could have made the same mistake by making the same assumption that if it's a 2006 it will have the uprev engine. Although I did do a little research before I purchased my Zed. The thing is that as I am new to the model I would not know the (subtle) difference between the old and new bumpers or the lights. I know all off this now including the up graded interior etc etc. In my case luckily I have the genuine item but can understand the OP's predicament and if I were him I would feel well and truly miffed. I am sure others on this forum have made purchases with the heart and not the head (easy to do with a Zed) so all this 'you should have researched it more is unfair to the OP...Just my 2 Cents worth.

Welcome looking forward to the pics
