Been looking at these for a while now and for sub £20k i reckon i can get a 1999 with around 60K on. Wouldn't think you would loose much on that bar the running costs and my god it would be an awsome car  also at 24 its only £1200 FC insurance

Nice I like them. Get one with a GT3 factory kit in the right colour & it would be mint
Or what about a Noble M12 instead

I think the whole of corsa sport will be jealous if you can afford to buy and run one of these.

You have to work in the city center and wear an expensive suit. Park it in an expensive multi-story with all the Mercs and other 911's. Other wise you cant buy one

Are you not running a cheap work punt still?
A 911 will guzzle fuel, can you afford £100+ a week in petrol?
Im fancying a Noble next, my works taking me offshore , there will be no commute so mileage for fun fun fun only.

Driving a hack at the mo as BMW is sat in a police pound!!!
That only does 23MPG and few blokes at work claim they get that from there 911 so cant see that being much more at the mo!
I work in the city center yes, but generally wear a polo shirt and park in the outskirts and walk in

I'd go for it Runing a Porka wont be much different to the Zm3 you had in terms of fuel and general running costs. This is the reason behind their popularity.
Also your 330ci...seriously 23 mpg....thats kinda killed it for me  And why is it in a police pound

Yeh 350z was quite a bit better on fuel than the 330; dont believe the book 32MPG
As for the pound its a long story but been sat there for 3 weeks now anc going to be there for another week by the looks of it!! Nothing i have done wrong i may add!!
Also got an audi TT sat in another pound somewhere, but dont know if i will see that again!!

Was thinking about of either a 330ci with lpg or 330d a few weeks ago. 330d are silly money at the minute
