Re: Any Really Nice G50 3.2s For Sale at the Moment?

Yes, did see the Paul Stephens car - very nice and ex-Malaya Garage, where I bought my first 911 (an SC Coupe) in the mid-80s, with 5k mls on the clock. But yes, some of these dealers get hold of these cars, slap on a massive premium, and can't even write a proper ad. I'd rather buy directly from a ...

Re: Any Really Nice G50 3.2s For Sale at the Moment?

Both sound interesting, but I am a bit fixated about mileage. I know it divides opinion, but it is an important part of my search criteria. Prefer a Coupe, but might consider a Cab.
thanks

Wanted - G50 Carrera Coupe - Now Found

Looking for an exceptionally nice example: - Narrow body Coupe - Rhd, G50, later the better - Original spec, FSH, low owners - A1 condition throughout - Low mileage (<50k mls) - Right colour combo (not black, and prefer not white or dark blue, and not white interior) - Sensible pricing, but realise ...

Re: Any Really Nice G50 3.2s For Sale at the Moment?

I'll also pop a post on PCGB, but still keen to hear about any nice G50 3.2s that might fit the bill.

thanks

Steve
Thanks for that. Your car sounds nice and Guards Red is one of my favoured colours. However, I've got a fairly specific requirement with the other criteria, so give me some time and I may come back to you.

Re: Any Really Nice G50 3.2s For Sale at the Moment?

40k miles you say? How about 41k? You won't be happy with the price, however: http://www.avantgardecars.co.uk/cars/2214-2/ Incidentally, I enquired after the same from the same dealer approx. 18 months ago (is that correct Nick?) and was told the price was a firm £50k. I couldn't my head around tha...

Re: Any Really Nice G50 3.2s For Sale at the Moment?

Low mileage is a personal thing (I know opinions vary), but ideally looking for c.40k(ish). There are probably more around than many people realise, but of course, when certain dealers get hold of them they slap on a big premium. Eg - http://www.jzmporsche.com/porsche-for-sale/classic/32-carrera-cou...

Any Nice G50 3.2s For Sale? Yes, just waiting for a wheel!

Re: Correction?

What are they like to drive? Looks like a bit of a barge to me.

Or, do people not actually drive them anymore?

Re: Nice 2.4E - Anyone Know Anything About It?

Thanks, I did ask a few searching questions but never got a reply. If it really was the original, low mileage, 'gem' the ad suggests, then I guess it would have sold by now. I think the same dealer had a very low mileage RHD 2.7RST a few years ago - Gulf Orange, 20k mls, £200k IIRC. Anyone recall th...

£140k(ish) apparently. Did ask about verification of mileage, but not received a reply.

Re: I want to buy a newer model type 911

996, Cayman or Boxster - you shouldn't be disappointed with any of these if you buy wisely.

Re: The Purple Peril

As said above, I've followed the build of this car and, today, I was invited to take it for a drive. It's still being run-in, but it was a spirited 12 mile run through some Somerset back roads, before the rain arrived. I can confirm this car is good - very good - so much so, that I'm still smiling. ...
