Hi to the group - Just trying to work everything out.
PCGB Full member - Cheshire, North West
So I spent nearly 8-months trying to find the right car and I eventually found this 2005 987.1 3.2S reasonably local to me which was handy as I wasn't keen on travelling all over the country. I originally wanted a 987.2 due to the benefits of the DFi engine, however they are few and far between, I couldn't find a Guards Red model at the time and this car was much closer to my original budget.
Its a 2005 local car with only 36K miles, Full Specialist service history and had been confirmed that the later 2006MY IMS bearing had been fitted (I went into things in allot of detail, engine number etc and in the end decided not to worry about it). It's spec is reasonably basic - No PASM, Chrono, Dated Nav or Xenons. But it does have a manual box, Sports heated seats, 19'' Carrera Classics, Red hoops, Red Belt, Disc Changer, Full Leather Spec. The one option I really wanted was Sports Exhaust because I was looking for some drama. It's been looked after fastidiously and I intend on keeping it this way. It's been an ambition for me to own a Porsche and this is about making memories with my son.
Here are a few pictures and the start of the journey....
