Hi.

Not that many on the market that I’m aware of, at least here in the UK. I love mine. Only thing I’m keeping an eye on is the water pump, as anecdotally, there seem to have been quite a few water pump failures on 991.2s.

Mine’s a daily driver, but if looking for a possible ‘collector’ spec, some folks say to go for manual transmission, bucket seats, rear seat delete, lightweight rear glass, Carrera T Interior Package and no sunroof. Possibly PCCBs. Rear axle steering.

To be honest, whatever the spec, it’s a great car. Let us know how you get on. :)

Just checked - nine for sale on the Autotrader site, from £69,911 to £79,995. None of them anywhere near my 30,000 mileage! :lol:

Cheers,
Simon

Thanks for that.

I am going to miss the Macan. It's been such a great car and I still look at it and smile. It's such a good looking car and it hasn't dated.

I am looking forward to a 911 though, persuaded the wife to get a family car (ipace) to allow me a toy. I am hoping that I enjoy the T as much as the Macan.

Both are great cars, the best in their respective classes, in my opinion.

I’ll be surprised if you don’t enjoy the T even more than you’ve enjoyed the Macan.

Took the T for a test drive yesterday and am now the owner! Will pick it up on Tuesday evening.

I was throughly blown away by what a fun car it is to drive. Quick when you want it to be, but light and nimble. And the noise!

I will post a photo once I have it, but I will miss the Macan.

Excellent! Which one did you buy? One of the nine I spotted on Autotrader the other day?

Hey, Semerka!

Thank you! Great article, and what an interesting woman! :)

I wonder if her T has done as many miles as mine...?! ;)
