He said that it normally takes about 10 days to service, prep, polish etc, so given it's Easter this weekend, I'm figuring a week on Friday evening/Saturday morning. Am already plotting a trip to the Black Forest 
Following the last time I was in a motor vehicle with you, I shall politely decline your kind offer  | | | | | Ok, I understand...
*sniff*
Mind that glass house won't you though! What's the insurance like?

A 911 Porsche is everyones dream, but when it comes to the speed restriction, trafic jam, exessive road use and and driving over sidewalks i think a Cayenne is the better choice. I know 2 people who had the 350 horse power sport car locked up in the garage for years and never uses it. Al are swearing about the massive trafic in switzerland and extreme expensive speeding fines and the envier scratching the car.

He'll do fine with his 911. | | | | | I'm going to ignore the baiting, suffice to say if I can live with a sportscar in London I can cope here. The people in this country need to get a reality check in terms of what they think overcrowding is, either on public transport or on the roads. My record waiting for a tube at Waterloo to get to work was 12 trains, before I could squeeze into one. People here complain if they can't get a seat!
The 911 may not be coming now
I've just got off the phone with the dealer and it turns out they had the car on sale or return and the owner has just totalled his over car and isn't vollkasko, so needs the 911 back while he decides what to do. GRRRRRRRR
They have offered me a frankly stonking deal on a newer (997) 4S, but it's silver, which my girlfriend hates (and frankly I'm not a huge fan of) and it's not a turbo. I just know if I go for it I'm just going to wish I'd got the turbo all the time. Oh decisions...

Sorry to hear about the proper Porsche though, sure there'll be another one popping up soon.

I think you should shop around on autoscout24 or try to import one from the USA. Also try the amag center in Zug.
But you need to be carefull to park a new 911 in and around Zürich.

But you need to be carefull to park a new 911 in and around Zürich. | | | | | Thank you for the advice. I am only interested in having a Porsche from an official Porsche centre. The model I want in the right colour, with reasonable mileage isn't available in the whole of CH right now. I have had problems in the past from buying cars from non-main dealers, when there have been warranty problems. Also nowhere else is offering a 2 year global warranty - with a car like this that is very important to me. Importing a car from the US would also have this problem, as well as the conversion issues and frankly I'm not sure a purchase of this magnitude is done over the phone/email.
Wrt to parking. Not really an issue - I will rent a garage next to my apartment and live close to the centre of Zurich, so would still continue to use the tram/S-Bahn to get into the city centre.

He'll do fine with his 911. | | | | | kev...used to own one...Cayenne S...1st production year...and I tell you it was one of the best rides I had...handled better than the 6 series I just sold...yes perhaps ugly to some but the utility and the way it sounded and felt were really impressive..

It was so twitchy on the motorway; you accept that in a 911 but a 2 tonne barge?
The only good thing about the Cayenne is that the residuals are so poor you can pick up a Cayenne Turbo for the same price as a new Focus in the UK (granted, servicing will cost you a bomb).

Gents any chance of keeping this mildly on topic.
There is no way on God's green earth I am going to buy a 4x4 with summer approaching. |
