I have no regrets, it's only money plus I get to spec the car to what I want. New is nice

 

Nice! Happy motoring.

 

Very Nice did you consider going 2nd hand on something else?

TX.

 

Slightly different tail pipes, sounds a lot better when the loud button is pushed as they have added crackles on the overrun

 

2nd hand not an option, I'm a sucker for new.

Slight topic change then. What car would you lot have for 100k new or used????

 

Probably a top of the range M5 for me. Or an R8.

 

Thats another car i would never have, i hate Audi's and the V10 is 120k

 

You're a lucky man!

 

Contender for ***** waver of the year??

 

Fantastic thanks for posting

 

Isn't Trout on here anymore? He'd be all over this like a rash. Thanks for the rear picture looks really nice. I saw one today but it was debadged and it had 2 exhausts rather than 4, any ideas?

 

2 big oval exhaust = plain Carrera

 

It still sounded quite nice and raspy.

 

Off the top of my head, probably an F430 spider or something like that. There must be some very interesting 997 911's for £100k as well (GT2?)

 

He left a while back, still posts on P/Heads though ... Porsche section of course

TX.

 

991?
For a second I thought they'd surprised us with a new car.

 

Very nice mate enjoy

 

A convertible Ferrari? I'd never feel comfortable in one of those unless I lived in Monaco and everybody had one. I know the Porsche is hardly low key but in London it probably wouldn't attract too much attention in the way a Ferrari would.

Also you can squeeze two small kids in the back of the Porsche but you can't in the Ferrari and the Ferrari is so bloody wide making it a little unwieldy on some UK streets.

 

993 turbo is the one to have imho

 

Porsche have went all VW with that front bumper. Don't think it actually matches the design of the car at all.

Otherwise damn, I wish it was mine. What a lovely car,

 

Porsche is a VW, I think if I am correct Porsche were still using parts from the VW Beetle/Golf parts bin such as indicator stalks and other various minor items until recently.

 

Very nice mate, the new Carrera S looks superb, doesnt do too bad in this video, quick car with the PDK box....


£103k is a lot of money to spend but you're right, it's only money, if you can afford it no probs, then why not. For me, I would need to go for 1 of the turbo models.

Enjoy

 

And I'm staggered that you did not manage to negotiate any discount on that lot, £29k worth of extras on a £74k car is a lot (Nearly 40%). Do Porsche dealers not offer discounts or is it because its a brand new model, discounts have not come into force yet?

 

For me I would have the have the McLaren MP4-12C for that kind of money

Porsche is lovely though. Hope you enjoy it

 

Well done Hard work & sheer determination gets you there
Its only a rental after all

 

Dont let the £100k difference get in the way or anything The Carrera S is a £75k car, the MP4-12C is £185k, even the cheapest used is £155k.

 

Cracking motor, the 991 is a really smart looking 911. I can't wait for the release of the Turbo!

 

I was going to refer to the above video, looks quick.

Can't believe they are £100k these days though. Seems a lot. Shows how much I know because if someone asked me I'd have thought a turbo was £100k.

Have fun.

 

I thought it was a turbo

Regardless, extremely nice car and I like the fact that it isn't massively "in your face".

 

It's a little deceiving as the uk spec car bog standard is 82k otr so it's only got 20k of toy's probably another 6k of that is essential. My biggest options that i could of done away with was the carbon brakes and aero kit. But i'm happy with the car, i decided to put the extra bits on it and it's a car that i have had pleasure in speccing and ordering. Porsche don't do discounts. You will get a deal on a demo, showroom car or a used car but specced car's rarely get anything off. I had £500 worth of Swissvax thrown in
