Currently edging towards what I said I wasn’t going to edge towards - a 996 C2…
Just can’t seem to really find what I’m looking for at the price I’m prepared to pay (some admission regarding affordability in there somewhere).
My BIL has a McLaren 12C which has proved to be an utter ballache to own so he’s looking to move it on. It obviously has the annual £5k McLaren warranty (it needed the Aircon system replaced last year which would’ve cost around £15k all in), so now in an apparent act of complete insanity, he’s sniffing around Maserati’s…
I told him what I’d previously told him - just buy a Porsche Turbo…
Anyway, back to the 996 - other than the mythical IMS bearing, what does one look out for @Dammit
