So as not to continue to hog Simons T thread.
Picking this up a week on Saturday. Have been considering (looking) for a 911 for best part of a year but I had some non negotiable items based on the comments of the other 911 owners on here.

This car is three and half years old and is specced with the following:

Sports chrono, sunroof, PSE, surround view, PDLS plus, light design package, BOSE, folding mirrors, interior carbon package, yellow seat belts, auto dim mirrors, privacy glass. Interior is black with crayon stitching.

Obviously wheels left standard but oddly this doesn’t bother me too much, although might change at later date. The big win is that it has done 998 miles.
Question - will it need a 4 year service with spark plug change etc when it’s not even run in??

Congratulations, looks stunning and the wheels look good to me. Are you posting the other 28 pics? A bit stingy of you to only post one. A few internals would be nice and the money shot rear end please.

Nice looking and great spec.

That low mileage would actually have put me off. A car needs to be used regularly for the likes of turbo seals to be kept in best order.

I would have asked the OPC re servicing but I suspect he answer is yes to maintain the two year warranty.

Very nice indeed. Wishing you a whole load of fun owning and driving it

It does beg the question what the previous owner was doing / not doing to for it to have such a low mileage. Personally if at all possible I'd get the 4 year service thrown in when buying it or included at a reduced rate, as if you don't it'll just be a bit of a headache when you come and sell it: something for some people to be annoying about

Yeah I thought about that mileage conundrum but feel like the warranty should cover things. On the plus side, it will be as new inside, paintwork etc.
re service, they told me today that they will “tick that box” for me so I don’t need to worry…

The fella that bought it moved abroad after a couple of months with work and ended up staying.
I spoke to them about 4 year service and they have confirmed they will mark it as done on the system but are unlikely to do all the things required, maybe not the plugs etc. Either way they have confirmed this won’t be a problem for me 🤷‍♂️

We are being taken over by Custard Coloured 911’s

Must admit though, they do look great.
