I know I should do more reading - have printed the Hartech buyers guide - but does a change of IMS and RMS when the clutch is changed prevent the engine lunching itself? After that just fit a third radiator and LTT and you can keep the chance of bore scoring down?

That's a very nice spec, one question though about the Porsche Entry & Drive option. I know with my Cayman this allows you into the car without a key or using the remote fob but you still need to key to start the car. Is this still the case on the Panamera?
Have you been given a ETA and build date on the car yet?

Really, I bloody hope not that would be completely stupid. I will ask the dealer, Thanks for the tip.
Delivery is due in March so I am going to put our car up for sale as soon s I get back in January.

Saw one in beige - looked fantastic. Had the old checkered interior. Such a nice car.

So with the enter and drive you get a plastic dummy key that you leave in the ignition all the time. That allows you to leave the main key in your pocket and once you approach the car the car unlocks when you want to get in.
all you do is use the dummy key to turn the ignition on.
It's the same in the Cayman as I asked for you.
Any thoughts on this? Its a high mileage Gen II (so benefits from DFI engine, LEDs and PCM III) and its PDK - want a manual but PDK seems to get good reviews and is a non 'S' which is a shame.
997 Gen II
Anyone know how well the 997 holds its mileage?

The engine should be fine for another 100k miles but I feel prices are too strong at the moment. Well over a year ago I sold me 09 C2S PDK with a good spec with only 36k on the clock for £38k
I am going to wait until 991 prices fall before I step into another 911.
DFI engine is more reliable, more frugal and more powerful but does sound crap in comparison to the 997.1 cars, steering feel is also diminished in the 997.2 cars as well. The 996/997.1 were I feel the pinnacle for drivers car for Porsche after that they got so good they became less driver focused if that makes sense, still amazing by all accounts.
It's not a bad price but a 911 with 90k miles, a lot will be worn out, suspension, radiators, coil packs, so it will need a warranty or get an inspection and everything sorted before purchase.
Will be a good car though 345BHP and PDK will be very quick car.
Not good, mine uses nowhere near that and the M3 since I out a new air oil separator in now uses nothing.
I'll probably be selling my 911 next year, decided I want something with huge power.
I think anything actually broken would be covered by their warranty - Portiacraft are a bit like RSJ/ Hartech and back their own in house scheme. Point taken on the wear and tear items though.
What do you think a good price would be to get it for?
It's already a good price, most specialist will not lower the price, or they will but they will reduce warranty cover to do so. Maybe offer 27.5k but I suspect they will just tell you pays the price or go shopping elsewhere.
Don't own one but always loved Porsche. Ever since I unwrapped a pack of top trumps to see the 1981 Porsche Turbo as the first card I fell in love.
Recently drove a friends Cayman and utterly fell in love with it. It wraps around you and everything feels so direct. The only shame was I only drove it for 15 minutes. The brute next to it is a Lexus IS-F. 5l V8 goodness - drove that too but preferred the Porsche.
I will own a Porsche one day
