Earliest I could get one is Oct 06 build. They have one car left, which was an extra allocation.....Oct might be a bit soon for me though

Shame on you either way

I'll have you know he is a good friend of mine, one have known since he was a Porsche salesman, so maybe he was a bit biased?

Either way the fake porker is his fav car to drive and sell, as for the money you get a hell of a car he said

strange thing is he has now left BMW and gone to work for B&O

I would say the M3 is better value for money than the PB....lots of std kit that is extra on the Porsche...

Be wary of guards red......evo had a buying s/h article on the 996 a few months back.......it reckoned that bold primary colours on the 996 were a no-no in terms of resale......the advice was to stick to dull monochromatic colours like silvers / greys and blacks

All very safe and dull stuff on these colours. You only have to look through the used sales on the porsche site to see the huge numbers of silver grey and black cars. I say be a little brave and go for what you want!

If you buy silver the dealer will tell you come resale time that there are loads of them around and as such the price has to be discounted. They will get you every which way they can and will always tell you its worth less than you want for your pride and joy.

Sams brother has a 996 C2S in seal grey and its stunning... IMO its probably the colour I would have if I specced a new boxster
