eddoakley Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Time to sell this as I've not driven it for at least 4 months! A nice tidy example of Porsche's family vehicle. 4.8l v8 auto with tiptronic. Silver with black leather. After market wheels which are quite understated and look smart. (Just remembered the brand- Vossen) Owned by me for 7-8 years and loved every minute. Clock shows 150k plus but engine was changed a few years back to one which had covered less than half of that. No receipts unfortunately so you'll have to take my word for it. Well maintained by local garage. I'd say it's in remarkably good condition for its age and at first glance it's immaculate but as with anything this age you can find a few small marks if you look hard enough. Interior is also in very good condition. Plenty of pics available and any trial welcome for serious buyers. Currently had a flat battery so give me a little notice if you want to test drive. I'll put a new MOT on it for the lucky new owner. Genuinely sad to see this go as I've enjoyed it more than any other vehicle I've owned but I just don't use it any more. Located Np44. An awful lot of vehicle for £3000!! Pm me with an email address for pics. Thanks Edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavarianbrit Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I was the development engineer on the cockpit/IP 2000-2001 came with the either pigskin soft plastic skin or the leather wrapped versions. At the time I thought they were mad to risk the model but have been proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Bump. Just making sure that those who asked have had the pics. Anyone else interested? I've booked it in for MOT next Thursday so will have a full 12months. Edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nice motor but I rode in the rear seat of a newish one a few weeks ago and it was like sitting on a board. Still a tidy motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a tidy motor. I think the newer ones are very different. Much more comfort in these older ones and of course that v8 growl. I'd consider another, newer one but they are all vw diesels or now hybrids and just don't have the same appeal. Edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd Yes, agree with you. I'm a V8 lover anyway. Had friend down in Lunnon who had one of the V8s and enjoyed our drives in that. At three grand that will make a very nice run about hunting set of whels for someone. The Tax/Insurance and fuel bill might deter some. Could it run on LPG ?

I've never really used it that much since I bought it as it's always been a second vehicle, I usually jump in a van most mornings. On a run it really isn't bad as at (ahem) 70mph on the motorway it's hardly doing anything. I'm sure it would go faster but of course I never tried. Nice to put your foot down and hear that growl.
