Life should be simple !
Bloke at work yesterday, 45yrs old, slumped over the wheel of his lorry at 07:15 whilst waiting to be loaded - heart-attack...game over.
I hate that white carbuncle - at least do a tasteful Z.
And that sums it really, no need to waste time, just do what you want and be happy!!
All makes sense now, Good luck.
Sh!t situation, but its for the better.... Thanks!!!
Seen that one.... watching it closely!
Don't know what to make of that Porsche really. Looks fine from a quick glance, but read the description - fair enough, the guy is being very honest but it looks like a bit of a money-pit bodywise down the line to get any better. Maybe that's all you get for £40k now ...
Perhaps.... thats my worry with not knowing them. However, at least I know what I am in for with the Z
Could you buy the 50% share of your current Z and save having to risk a new one?
I was looking at buying a classic 911 to replace the 996 Turbo I have so I've got a fairly good idea of comparisons. What is it you're after?
A 964 drives completely different to a Z, so if you're after something light and nimble then you'll need to go older - ideally an 87-89 3.2 Carrera. If you want something that's a little more comfortable, reliable and advanced but still maintaining a raw drive then the 964 ticks a lot of the boxes.
One thing to keep in mind that you're likely to have to budget a minimum of £200-400/month on maintenance and repairs. I'm not sure about Z's but they certainly feel a lot cheaper to keep driving.
Thanks for the info..... sadly, what I want is that nimble light feel, but with a bit of comfort and reliability. The 964 is pretty close to what I want I think, but I dont want a moneypit either.... Thats a largish budget per month just to keep it running! Doubt the Z is anything like that.....
The idea is that I will have a "daily" car, which I wont use daily but more for track, longer drives, etc which is shaping up to be a BMW z3 Coupe 2.8l (I am looking at the M sport, but the additional money and classic status dont really work for me..... wouldnt want to wreck it if its a classic.... also read a lot of reviews that say dont bother trying to drive the M in the wet). And then the 911 or Z as the pure "FUN" car, capable on the track, but also brilliant for the road where I am living now (South of France).
