991 Turbo/Turbo S Cab - Page 2 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

I do not think you'll knock anything off at main dealers tbh. Turbo s cab a rare bird hence hard for them to come by good examples.

I’m starting to look around for a 991 Turbo or Turbo S cab, my budget is circa £85k. I know the Cab is less desirable than a coupe but I’ve always preferred open top cars. From a residual and resale point of view are there any must have options to look for? Are there any Colours best avoided? Given the soft used car market at the moment if I’m buying from a main dealer how much can I expect to be haggling off the price of a £85- 90k car? Edited by T5GRF on Wednesday 11th October 10:28

Thought I'd have a snoop. Only 3 available. All lovely. Start at £90k mind. I'd spend extra and go for the Mexico car. Will not depreciate in that PTS colour. Even like the pipe and slippers interior. Getting old! https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/search/911?mod...

Thanks the Mexico blue car is lovely but unless they’re keen to shift it at £90k it’s outside of my budget. I’ve enquirer about the graphite blue car which seems a good spec and is a facelift car but the colour is maybe marmite and it’s done 45k…

They wear their mileage really well and OPC will give you a bumper to bumper two year warranty. Graphite Blue a lovely colour. The gen 2 is almost a completely different car to the gen 1 with the number of under the skin changes made. Having said that I'd not care gen 1 or gen 2 I'd go for best condition example. Saxton 4x4 have a couple of lovely Carmine Red examples if you do not mind the colour. I like them too but I'd want an OPC warranty put on.

I’ve owned and bought Porsche from main dealers before and know there’s some value in the warranty - I’d certainly be reluctant to buy a car as complex as this without a Porsche warranty. This is likely to be a car I’ll keep for many years so it’s got to be right.

You're going to love it. Can't decide between one of these or a gen 2 992 turbo s for my own new 911. Waiting to see how they improve the 992 before I maybe lay on a 991 turbo s exclusive.

Is the steering feeling on the 991.1 turbos the same as the rest of the 991.1 range? I found it devoid of steering feel

I don't know what they are like now, but an ex used to work for Saxton, and what she told me of some of the bodges they used to do to cars was shocking. After that I'd never buy from them.

Always worth going to an OPC for the warranty, but if not then, for the love of god, check out reviews. Edited by CloudStuff on Friday 13th October 09:42

I've never dealt with them just noticed they have a pair of nice looking turbo s. If I wanted a Carmine turbo s I'd just send to an OPC for 111 inspection and throw a warranty back on. Buy the car not the dealer. Having said that 3 lovely examples in the OPC network. As an aside the steering on the gen 2 is far better than gen 1.

Thanks - I’ve been on here long enough to have heard about Saxons customer service, besides Carmine red isn’t a color I’m looking for really. Good to hear that steering feel on the 991.2 is improved, along with the infotainment.

As a 991.1 Turbo S owner (coupe not cab), I can honestly say you won't be disappointed. 911 Turbo's truly are the all round supercar. As others have said not much margin to discount at an OPC or most main dealers. The OPC cars will always be quite a few more £k than other specilaists. The warranty is circa £2k anyway. I bought my Coupe from a well known Porsche specialist and added the Porsche Warranty independently. I was able to get a bit of a discount due to the warranty and that my car was due a major service within 6 months of purchase. In terms of warranty yes it can be added, just be aware that many OPC's are quite strict (all 3 near me said the same) on the point that you need to have onwed the car for 90 days before they will do the OPC and allow the warranty. Cars bought privately or on Sale or Return can keep any existing warranty coverage. All the best on the search. Finally - on discounts, of course it's always worth trying - timing wise you've got winter & Christmas in your favour so go in hard and you never know your luck. Helps if you can figure out how long they've had the car in stock for too

I'm also on the lookout for one at that price point but the ones I've seen, and still for sale have awful creases to the hoods/roof. I'm assuming that happens when people store them with the hood down? I've also widened the search to 992 S cabs, as they are slowly getting to the same price point.

Well the Reading Graphite blue car is now ours - or rather it will be in a couple of weeks once fully prepped!

Amazing and congrats. My other half watched this race on Top Gear and ordered one next day. That day it was timed by Top Gear Poland at 0-300kph in 26 secs and 0-62mph 2.6 secs. SWMBO vboxed hers 0-300kph in 24.5 secs whilst battering a brand new 700bhp Aventador S on track over a mile drag

Thanks all, it’s a lovely car with a great spec. Reading is an amazing place to visit - we got a bit of a behind the scenes tour which included a 959, a road going GT1, several 918 Spyders and a 1985 911 Speedster and thieir current press car fleet - fantastic day out!

Our 997 and 991 looked after by OPC Reading best OPC having tried 5. One thing to ask them for is a detailed condition report from the techs on your ceramic brakes. They can be refurbed by rebrake in Germany via any decent indy but best to check they’re in good condition with lots of miles left in them to begin with

Congratulations, I absolutely love my 991.1 Turbo S Cab, but at the same time I’m actually thinking of changing to something a bit more ‘wild’ as I don’t do the miles and my daily car is also a Turbo S, albeit the Taycan variety. 2015 28k miles, full OPC service history and balance of their warranty, high spec etc. Anyone else in the market for one I could be tempted to part with it. It’s black. OP, enjoy it, it’s 2 cars in one, perfect for every day but also comes alive when you want it to.
