911 Turbo running costs

[Guest]

Hi,

I am thinking of buying a RHD 930 or LHD 964 T2 for £20k. I am budgetting £2k per year on running costs (excl. insurance and petrol) and I'm planning on keeping it at least 3 years and doing no more than 5k miles per year - so £6k total. Am I being realistic?

Cheers,

Tim.

Assuming that you buy a good one in the first place I would say that amount was more than sufficient.
Have fun looking - there are some nice ones about.

Plus some right dogs, as well always have a PPI done on the car.

Goodluck

Seems OK unless you are unlucky or like me get the gotta have more bhp bug and spend thousands on tuning parts.

Well your plan and your budgeting are extemely sensible.

Take you time on finding the right one and if you're doing sensible mileage you should save a £1k per annum on your budget .. which you can always keep to one side for the emergency fund or upgrades.

All,

Well I've gone and done it and bought a 1992 LHD 964 Turbo from Gmund Cars - the one Dr. Dave mentioned.

It looks and sounds great!

Thanks for all your help and advice.

Cheers,

Tim.
