Re: 2016 SD

With my C63 it was quite simply a case of ‘premium pack, yes or no’ and that was that! Much simpler. Yes simpler and more expensive because there are IMO options that you do not want.

Re: 2016 SD

I really wish Porsche did options in ‘packs’ so there wasn’t such a huge combination to have! I have to say, I’m impressed with the sound of the diesel 3.0, and it sounds like the sports exhaust opens it up even more. I'm glad Porsche don't do packs because you end up BUYING lots of things you don'...

Re: 911 Trade in value - am I being screwed?

Rule of thumb is look at the approved Porsche website and take off around £7K for a trade in.
You said its a 911.2 C2, does it have any extras or is it just a straight base model ?

Currently I know there is one 18 plate C2 for £74K, have a look at the 17 plate prices .

Re: Headlight crazing 718

NO problems with my 911 (18 plate) headlights and i use washmitts and snowfoam / power wash with a vari Lance , I do turn the pressure down on all the bodywork using it as basically a strong flow of water and turn it up to do under the wheel arches and wheels/ tyres .

The Macan to me does look better with the rear spoiler and side blades painted in the came colour as the rest of the bodywork, additionally it looks better without the chin spoiler.
IMO I Agree with Col Lamb and add sports mirrors to get rid of more black plastic.
