I went with a mate for him to look at a Boxster at Maundrells, which is close to home- best thing is the test drive; nice roads!

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.

Hi Everyone,
You may recall I was asking your opinions on having and using a 3rd car. Well you all gave me the push I needed to take the plunge into owning my dream car.
So... I've placed an order and have to wait until the 2nd of April to go and pick it up. To say I'm excited is an understatement! The garage is being cleared out ready for the new arrival!
The dealer didn't know the answer, hopefully you may able to. Looking at the exhaust tips I'm not 100% sure that the exhaust is standard. Any thoughts on this?
Heres a few pics from the dealer website
Thanks chaps, I do think it's a lovely looking thing
Re the exhaust, I thought (might be wrong!) the standard item isn't fully oval, more flattened slightly at the bottom?! My knowledge is limited though and happy if it's standard or not.
As you say they may be aftermarket tips as its something people often change if they start to look worn and the type of previous owner that would spend £400 upgrading the rear lights to led would IMO be the sort of person who would change the tips if they had lost the shine and it's clearly a well looked after car so the previous keeper was someone who cared about their cars , either way the tips look good on the car :grin: :thumb:
Nice car, I spotted it on the Maundrell site too. They have a nice original amber light .1 C2 as well, but with the mint green interior that is not everyone's cup of tea.
I went with a mate for him to look at a Boxster at Maundrells, which is close to home- best thing is the test drive; nice roads!
I saw the other 996 too. As you say the interior isn't to everyone's liking. I (obviously) prefer the black and carbon in the one I'm getting. Carbon was on my wish list and it seems pretty rare option.
I've not seen the car in the metal yet. And won't until I pick it up! But I have heard the roads are perfect driving roads.
I also saw that and I thought it looked lovely! Congrats and I bet you're counting the sleeps until you pick her up!
Out of interest, why the long wait?
