2.5is E85

Just out of a Porsche Boxster and do miss a convertible, now that my garage has become available again, thought would give one of these a go as always loved the looks.

So what's available, have had a look on Auto trader, Ebay and FB marketplace and prices seem to be all over the place. Not fussed on manual or auto, SH is important as is condition over mileage.

Have a £4k budget to play with as it really will be a weekend car to sit next to the RS6 that's the daily.

Let me know what you have, based in Reading but happy to travel for the right car.
 
Not a 2.5 but a 3.0 with hardtop https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/884281242918109/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6016a4d9-c957-46e2-a9f1-cb7feadfffaf

Is this yours?
No, I have a Maldives blue 2.5, the best colour. This one did catch my eye, seven previous owners and no accidents. The MOT history looks good and the hardtop is worth around £1000. Slightly tempted to buy it myself!

That does look tidy, would look great with the hard-topon also :thumbsup:

I have sent the seller a message, as there is no mention in the advert about service history, so just waiting
 
I agree with Raymond, Maldives is the best colour :D, but only available pre-facelift so no 2.5Si. You should be able to get a 3.0i for £4k or close if you don’t mind a 100k+ mileage (which the M54 engine is plenty good for).
The advertised example seems rather too good to be true with the hard top included. A bargain if it’s what it seems, but beware.
 
Maybe I will consider to part with mine. But it is not prepared for sales yet ,so there is something to do with her. I just moved out from house with garage and looks like it will be better to find her a new home as for 3yrs ownership I did less than 2k miles. 2.5Si 07 Reg. 136k miles on clock.

Send me some details as I have cash burning a hole in my pocket

Quite like the look of this one
 
Just going by the photos that looks pretty good, plus mileage is pretty low and it has heated M-Sport seats!

9 previous owners, one or two not careful, no accident history. Looks nice but silver is a rather unforgiving colour, could be due to the light but the passenger door looks a different shade to the rest of the car.
 
You can come to Langley if you are in Reading and check out if you wish. We can also chat via Whatsup. Bit as I told there is something to do to get it to perfect runner. It drives ok but not ready to sell, however if you got the place and skills, for next season you could get a nice weekend toy. I will miss her.

Wasn't looking for a full on project to be honest

It can be done also. But for that I will need some extra time. Thats why I m telling she is not prepared for sale yet. I even can not imagine the asking price :D
 
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 2.5si facelift E85, I've owned my 2007 model since 2016 and use it as a daily driver.
Unfortunately though, I (or maybe my car) did not meet the standards to become a member of The Club Exclusive Maldives :x
