Hey all, seems to be a reoccurring theme here but I have been thinking about a weekend fun toy.
Drive a van for work and family car is a kuga which don't really ignite the fire.
Like most I've seen on the first few posts I've read I had been thinking about a boxster but having done alot of research and joined forums, YouTube for countless hours I've lost count, but the dreaded ims is too much of a gamble for me to dip my toe into porsche ownership at this time unless I go for the newer engine with PDK but this puts the budget up more than I'd like to at this moment in time.
So I started looking at alternatives, TTS, SLK350 and of course the big Z.
I must admit the Z was not in the top spot of alternatives but the more I read and watch I am now actually really interested in one. Really loving the styling with hard top opposed to soft tops.
My budget having looked around for a short period would get me an 09 / 10 with around 60k miles.
What are the issues which can be expected with this model if any? Apart from wear and tear is there anything that I have to look out for?
From what I can make out it's a pretty solid almost bulletproof unit.
Also I'm not fully clued up yet as too what comes as standard and which optional extras is a must if any?
Cheers any info greatly received.
