Granted the mileage was much higher, but I strongly believe a regularly used car becomes more reliable than an aging garage queen!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello All,
Does anyone know the car below, advertised by Gmund cars?
I like the colour and the interior is different and growing on me. Is this a special order interior and exterior paint?
Natural brown interior and Olive black exterior ??
Any help appreciated, it is above my £40k Turbo S manual budget but the mileage is low and it is a cabrio???????
Your thoughts please?.....it would be my weekend, long-term keeper.

I had a look over this car not so long ago. Was just browsing not buying. It looked fine. Gmund are good as well so you won't have any problems with them.
just to echo that said by G996TT, I test drove a sand beige interior 997T last summer and the reflection in the window was quite a bit. There's discussion elsewhere where some say 'not a problem' through to 'had to sell the car as it was too distracting'. Probably a personal thing, check for it if you go for a drive.
Thanks for the info guys.
I want a limited edition 911 Turbo S and this seems to fit bill, except a little pricey! I also want to mitigate against major depreciation.....as it will be a weekend car.
Chocolate, was the car "like new"

I can see the point about a lower volume limited edition car maybe keeping it's value better - but at the end of the day a water cooled Turbo is never going to be a GT2/GT3 and if you are paying top top dollar to start with I am struggling to see the appeal.
I paid only slightly more than that for a manual 2009 Turbo with PCM3 and some great options. Granted the mileage was much higher, but I strongly believe a regularly used car becomes more reliable than an aging garage queen! AND I am happy to use it as a daily car without panicking about it - meaning slightly more depreciation in exchange for much more use
Just my 2P
Colour combo is pretty terrible. OK if you like it and it's a long term keeper, but I imagine that will take ages to shift.
Also price seems extremely high considering the colour combo too.
Personally I would buy a very nice 997 Turbo over this all day long.

I'm off over there later today so I will look over it for you and let you know.
A 997 turbo at £40k is hardly going to lose money its lost most of it.
If you are going to buy a 996 turbo S which is 1 of 40 I think you would want to find a coupe and one in a descent colour like basalt black or gt silver and a nice interior if its for investment purposes.

What exactly does the 1 of 40 relate to?
Maybe 1 of 40 turbo S's imported to the UK or 1 of 40 convertable turbo S's imported to the UK.
Polarised sunglasses get rid of 90% of the glare problem from the light coloured dash. Top down. Mirrored polarised aviators. Beige jumper and slacks to go with the interior with optional beige loafers and socks. Happy days.
As others have said, 997 will be a better car for that money.
This is olive green.... a unique colour choice only available on the turbo s. Looks fantastic in the flesh... i remember testing a turbo s coupe in exactly this ext/int. colour combo back in 07 and whilst I loved the exterior, I just couldnt live with the interior.
