Plumped for a gen 1 car instead, but was told that both turbos and feed pipes have been replaced on this one.

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.
12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Whats everyones thoughts on spec and price etc
This will be my 1st Porsche
https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/dealer/details...
I kept an eye on this for a couple of months as spec looks very good. Plumped for a gen 1 car instead, but was told that both turbos and feed pipes have been replaced on this one. A google search will tell you this is quite common on gen 2 cars, even on low mile cars.
My thoughts are...as I've rather boringly outlined in other threads...and by no means meant to trigger anyone or offend the OP:
991.2
the turbo engine has a fair bit less character than the older NA ones
PDK whilst fast and efficient and by no means "wrong", doesn't have the engagement of the manual
white body and a completely black interior is a tad dull...
don't like privacy glass
do you NEED rear seats?
love a sunroof
love the colour badges on the alloys
love silver alloys
love a heated steering wheel
You've been searching for a year...test drive
everything
I will have a look but also keep my eye out for at other OPC.
This car is at my top budget and the warranty appeals to me a lot.
Is there a way of searching the whole of the U.K. OPC for a certain model / price range ?
I bought from RPM technic, I continued and extended the OP warranty…
991.1 S, GTS
981 Boxster GTS, Spyder (man only)
981 GTS, GT4 (man only)
718 GTS, GT4 or Spyder
The 991.1 is probably the most reliable engine in the 911 range out there. You do not have the complications of the turbos failing (as per Mr PG’s comments) and you have the naturally aspirated sound of the engine from 5K revs upwards. When that engine how kicks in you will not care if anyone else’s car is faster than yours. It is ecstatic.
One thing I must point out (being a first time Porsche owner myself as of 2023) is that it is not about speed!
It is about the driving experience. I had a 600+HP SL63AMG which was a monster. My 991.1 has 400HP and is by far a more complete and pleasurable driving experience. Literally night and day.
As long as you keep that in mind you will enjoy either a 991.1 or a 991.2 - you know where my preference lies.
