Personally, I'd not bother with a base Carrera. You'll suffer a lot less depreciation on a GTS variant. That's not to take anything away from them, they're still fantastic but depends what you want out of it.
Alxgb. When I said I was buying a base Carrera I did really mean a C2 with £11/12 K extras and as you say it will be a fantastic car. I can't quite push it to a GTS cos i'm moving house and you don't get anything FREE thrown in these days with a new builds.
i've gone for lower kitchen upgrade and its £8.2 K including Silestone.
Not to concerned with depreciation these days I just want to enjoy life

I think the Carrera sounds great and with that sort of budget on the options list, it'll be a well specified car. I thought you were referring to a Cayman GTS versus 911 GTS.
I actually misread Silestone as Silverstone for a second there. That's what happens when you spend too much time on car forums!
As an aside, not sure if you've had Silestone before but having had installed it in two properties, I had a problem with Silestone in my current place. Cosentino could not have done less in helping resolve the issue so caveat emptor. Just ensure your supplier buys stock from the UK and not direct from the factory.

I think it would be a mistake to change from a higher and more comfortable riding position in a Macan to (what I would find, at least) a low and uncomfortable riding position in a Cayman or Carrera: also you do not have such a good view of the road ahead, nor as much space for luggage. Just my views !
A SUV has everything going for it in todays day to day driving, thats why when I swaped the Macan for a 911, I then bought another cheaper SUV, a 63reg petrol Grand Vitara. Best of both worlds, a every day useable SUV and fun fast sports car for when the mood takes me.

In an earlier thread I was reading WinCo said he was preparing a database - have you been scraping the web with a python as well!
He has gone very quiet. Do you think he is page scraping or spec'ing a new 911?

Has been an eventful weekend! My girlfriend's eldest daughter had a baby last night, 8 weeks premature! Fortunately mother and baby are both doing well...
P.S. If I was to be speccing another 911, it would be a GT3 with Touring Pack...
Well, we can all dream...!
