Iddingtons Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think there are far nicer examples for much less money, my own included IMO. Certainly worth a look through the rest of the classifieds on this site as there are some lovely motors about at the minute. I would say you could save a decent chunk and get a cherished example to boot. Id. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu2 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 cruise is very useful on a long motorway journey in my view - I find it helps me keep the speed below instant-ban point (most of the time..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Bose is ok..... It's not good but much better that the non bose. I like cruise. I think it's great but that's me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I bought a non-gt new, coming up from considerably cheaper metal i don't notice the lack of cruise and leather. Standard stereo is fine compared to the average hatchback. I have it swiched off most of the time anyway! Brrroooom! Of course second hand its only a few hundred more maybe so you might as well have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Standard stereo is fine compared to the average hatchback. I find it considerably inferior to Mrs Digsy's old Micra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 If you buy this car, imo, its gonna need: Chipsaway to touch up the blemishes: £200 or more if you want a proper job Leather retrim: £500 A proper detail as its got millions of swirls: £250 A nice set of rims: £2k with tyres Plus, take those front bumper spats off and the chavvy tints. Well, thats what i would do, but I wouldn't buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thats what i would do, but I wouldn't buy it I'll have to check it out to be honest, I know what u mean by the tints and the rims are worth over £2k according to that forum?? I don't mind the spats/kit as like it to be different...I'm only planning to keep it 2 years max as wanting a 911 long term (well in 2 years time) its just about the condition its in, and how it will sell...I'm just looking for a bargain!!

Sarnie Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Price looks ok but look at the state of the wheel in this pic and also the paint has been worn away on the side skirt: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... =794572117 Centre console looks shabby too. It also says it has the BOSE but its not a GT? I suppose at £11k your not going to get a mint car............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1tse Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 for me it doesn't have GT pack. wheels in general for that certain age or even newer cars are always going to have marks. but can be touched up the side skirts, kits etc. in general with higher mileage probably via motorway driving will be just stone chips etc. but again can be tidied up. interior, if you go for a non GT pack, excuse for custom leather ;-) and carbon fibre parts for the dash. so at the right price you could still add a bit to this exterior kitted one ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verma Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Very true p1tse, its about having the time and effort to do so....at xmas time u want the car ready like a xmas tree!! Tazzi still selling his gt pack with nismo which looks a good option...will still check hass121's later today in solihull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1tse Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 tell us how you get on at the black solihull one. i like the nismo kit minus the rear spoiler. would be ok, if it was with Forced Induction, but bit OTT for me now on a standard output car. (for ownership that is) the pre facelift interior is a little bit drab to be fair, so you could always spruce it up with carbon fibre or colour coding. but it's not as bad with the alezan interior which i like and goes well with gun metal or black. so that's my option. but the blue is my favourtie colour though.
