That nobody can know, is clear to me – but perhaps someone would like to make an estimate – maybe you know this from previous model changes. I plan next year the purchase of a 997 from 2005. Will the model change be strong or hardly noticeable? Greeting Tony

Hello, I’m just about to make a car decision, either a 435i convertible or my first Porsche, a Boxster S. My wife drives a more practical, large car, which is also necessary for two children. I drive about 20,000 km a year. A second car for me (so a third car altogether) is honestly too expensive for me (I wouldn’t want to drive a car as a third car too). The question is, is the 981 a sensible everyday vehicle? My neighbor has to go after four weeks. his R8 bought a GTI because it only annoyed him to drive with the Audi through the city, or to the car park or to travel longer distances on the highway. What are your experiences?

Hello together, after the 911er already some Erlkönige are on the road and probably doubtless no later than 2019 or rather 2018 with a new edition can be expected at the Porsche Boxster at present nothing in sight. So far there are no Erlköniger pictures to the Boxster of the next generation. From dealers one hears contradictory statements. There is the talk of the 718 is a new independent model and had nothing to do with the 981. Therefore it is only 2024 with a new model to calculate If so, it would be logical to go down the position of the boxster a bit (see also 4cylinders). However, it could also be a marketing strategy to encourage some to purchase, which would otherwise wait for the model to appear in two years’ time. I have heard from a dealer that it was already openly communicated by Porsche that there will be a further facelift of 718. It is certain that there will not be a facelift of 718 for the time being. Only the 911 would be renewed. Do you know anything closer to the subject?

Hello dear community, there would have been a question to the 997 turbodrivers among you. To the background, for a long time I drove a 996 4s, when I sold this last year and changed to a 997 carrera 4s, now the new decision is coming up….. because I sold my 997 C4s a few days ago. Now I have looked around a little and would attract for a long time a turbo improbably, but there are still so certain doubts. Question, how high is your average consumption, which is also decisive for me, because I drive about 40000 km with it in the year…… what about the service costs in contrast to a 4s, are they significantly higher? How since you satisfied with your turbos, what should you pay attention to with a used one? were there any actions, or problems in certain types? Would you access a new one, or a factory car, because I have an offer for a the new one, where I am currently fighting with the colors Maccadamia or Basaltschwarz with me……the other would be the factory car The factory car is from 12/2007 with 12000km however in Indian red, which I personally like very much, but the seller would like to talk me out, since Indian red at the moment would be one of the worst colors, if it was about the resale, which is of course also important for me, because I will sell it again at the end of next year. However, the price would be great, because the factory car is fully equipped and would cost € 102,000. Would also be grateful for any help 911 Best regards Thomas

What’s funny is that when you see a test or read where a porsche is doing it, the Porsche has less and less power. The Audi has 420hp, the Porsche 385hp. Although 35hp less, it is faster in the sprint to 100 and slows down by 1m. Well then you have driven a lap on the race track and was about 0.7Sek slower than the Audi!!! *lach* That’s why the Audi is better or . in other words that Porsche should be ashamed that the sports car icon is “slower” than the Audi. And the Carrera is also only faster in the sprint because it has the better gearbox. Ergo after the test the Audi is faster and more fun. So the statement of the tester, which looked anything but a professional. I really don’t understand why a Porsche will not compare with other cars that has the same performance, or would have to be ashamed of the competition and you would I’m not surprised that you don’t compare the R8 with the Boxster S, but then Porsche would look very bad. Why not compare the GT3RS with 415hp??? That would be about the same performance. And what does personal statements belong in a test??? Whether and how which car is fun for everyone is something different. In a test or comparison only facts and figures belong. I think that the test au f Vox was very bad. But what should the R8 never become a myth like the 911, but that’s just one opinion among many. *laugh* now I’m stoned by the Audi group again, but I don’t care. Is my opinion and done.

Hello, there are problems if I expand the battery of my 997s and the car is in the garage for about 5 months without power supply.

I obviously fell in love with a Carrera 997 with plenty of special equipment. The cart costs gross about 105,000,00 list price. Dealer makes the following offer: Duration 36 months, 30,000 KM per year Advance payment 30.000,00 €, leasing rate gross 870,00 €. Is that okay?

Good evening, dear forum, just before your well-deserved WE a question. I have seen at Recaro the seats “Pole Position” with ABE etc.. I think about an exchange of seats. Has anyone had experience with the topic of sports seats/shell seats? Porsche has also own which they offer, but the difference of over 4000€ is already considerable. I would be particularly interested in what would be with the seat heating. I have one right now but The Recaro ́s don ́t have heating cushions (I don ́t want to at all). But I would also like to accept all opinions, experiences, tips and tricks! Thank you in advance and still a nice evening. Oh yes, very important, does anyone know what the serial seats weigh? Thx!!!

Hi guys, since I’m still a student or Zivi (Abi 2003 *jippie*) and one of my dream cars is the Porsche 928gts, I wanted to ask you here! First of all, how expensive are so things, at mobile.de there are which from 15,000€ to over 50,000€, well used! Wherewith a new one you would probably hardly get. Furthermore, what can you expect for a running performance with the used ones, I mean it are GTs, i.e. scales, which were also built for longer distances. Then, are there actually of the things also manual transmission versions or were they manufactured at that time only as automatic? Most things that I saw were automatic. Besides, what do you think of the boxes in general? If you have a few nice links to the topic 928gts, so, ‘I’m interested in everything I can get on the subject! Because one thing I have firmly put in my mind, next to all the dream cars I would like to have, a 928gts will be the first and if it has to be even one! Thx in advance and posted beautiful.

Hello Have my 911 turbo as in all the years before on October 30th shut down and packed clean. Yesterday I wanted to start it as usual once briefly, but it did not jump on anymore. If I turn on the ignition then I hear no gasoline pumps running. The starter rotates the engine as usual. The fuse, as well as the two relays for the fuel pumps 1 & 2 I checked – are fine. Does anyone have any idea how to control the two relays? H Abe there still something forgotten. It is with the vehicle a 911Turbo. Mod. 930 BJ. 1988
