Oh I don't know.

It's such a mindfield and so many good and bad pointers, advice etc.

 

For now I am just looking on Piston Heads and seeing what I like.

 

I have wanted a 911 for ever, and think i should perhaps scratch that itch.....but then I adore the looks of the Cayman and been mid engined etc, I know its a better drivers car. Plus I want to be able to afford to own it and run it

 

So far I have noted a :-

 

Cayman 2.7, 2007, 2 owners with 73k.

I know folk always go on about the bigger engine model, but not understanding totally why...other than its bigger and more bhp. But how much do I really need ?

 

Then a 2003, 996 Carrera 2 Tiptronic Auto with 79k.

Not sure about the auto bit and slightly wary of the 996 problems, thinking a 997 is a safer bet.

 

Cayman 3.4 2006 with 66K 4 owners

 

I think i will end up going for something I like the look of and then working backwards in the spec.

Fewer owners is quite an issue for me, too many have had masses of owners as then its servicing history is usually with the same one or two garages too.

 

I need to find someone with some Porsche knowledge to come out with me too, plus do more studying !!!

I have a week in Europe in  my pals 997.1 911 so I'm looking forward to that as I also know little about them 

I do know it's had a engine rebuild :wacko:

I believe it's the 997.2 you want if you want no engine issues but they are more expensive

Everyone coming along be sure to have to have enough fuel, or at least fuel money. Planned trip out is 1hrs drive to destination heading northbound, No Motorways - won't be one to miss!!

Hi Dave hope your well I will be able to come to the meet but won’t be able to stop for the food. Got to pick up my dad and as much as he loves the Z I doubt he would enjoy a convoy with a load of them.

 

 see you there!
