Thanks, I am going to see about a new one.
Can see an issue with the bad back for sure as they are low but a lovely drive once you are in
The way my wife reacted I might be living in it,...
Up the budget to a Dakar and you can still go offroad lol :eyes:
I need to win Prize guys 1 million.
A 911 with a very bad back, didn't see that coming! I wouldn't wait 2 years for any car.
Not sure if I can either, having a chat on Thursday and won`t be making any rash decisions.

I don't know your Porsche experience but I had to haul out my FIL (dodgy knees) and mother (bad back) from mine (separate occasions) when they were in their early 60's and late 50's 10 years ago

It's the only car I have owned that my mum requested to go a drive in :joy:

My father had 11 x 911`s, 2 x 928`s and a 718 so pretty good. It all depends on a drive, my bro has a 718 Cayman GTS and I don`t fit it.

He drove them every day until he put 60,000 miles on a targa and Carl Russell from Porsche bid him a terrible price for it.
So my mother drove them after that and my father drove them at weekends.

The 992 are easily recognised as they have the light bar across the rear. The earlier models just have 2 separate tail lights.
So yes the blue one you posted is a 992.1 which you should aim for if funds allow. Or go all out and order a new one which will be 992.2 as they have just been released but will be a wait for one.

Thanks for the info, 24 months for a new one

Try a few dealers. They will always try to quote a long old time and if the customer accepts then it’s happy days for them as they can allocate earlier cars then to others who they know won’t wait. It’s all smoke and mirrors with Porsche ordering.
