Also any other info would be helpful.
Don't know which band it'd be in, but I'd imagine you'll be paying one of the top bands - so it'd be for example, 28% of what the same car would cost if you were to buy it in Ireland (taking account mileage etc.). If you can find out what the road tax is for one, you'll see which band it fits into...Band A: cars that produce 0-120g/km CO2 - 14 per cent VRT - €100 road tax;
Band B: cars that produce 121g - 140g/km CO2 - 16 per cent VRT - €150 road tax;
Band C: cars that produce 141g-155g/km CO2 - 20 per cent VRT - €290 road tax;
Band
cars that produce 156g-170g/km CO2 - 24 per cent VRT - €430 road tax;
Band E: cars that produce 171g-190g/km CO2 - 28 per cent VRT - €600 road tax;
Band F: cars that produce 191g-225g/km CO2 - 32 per cent VRT - €1,000 road tax;
Band G: cars that produce 226g/km CO2 and over - 36 per cent VRT - €2,000 road tax0 -

I'm sure he did. There are no Porsches on there to speak off
I'm with LIGHTNING here, a 996 would nearly be cheaper over here. That said, there is obviously more choice across the water. Before buying, make sure you get a quote in writing / by email from the NCT about how much the VRT will be exactly.Lotus Elan turbo for sale:

Problem is you'll pay more for a good 993 than a 996 - and imo there is good reason
911 owners can be a bit irrational folk
When Porsche replaced the 911 with a far superior car back in the 70s, the 911 owners were having none of it. When Porsche finally ditched the outdated aircooled setup and replaced the 993 with the far superior (but admittedly less raw, less hardcore) 996, again they weren't having any of it
Me I'd take a 996 997 any time over a 993 Lotus Elan turbo for sale:

I'd say 997 too, over 996, but I'm very keen on the older ones - in fact the older they are the better looking they are ( well back to the SC anyway )0 -

oh bah gum: I know what you mean. They had a 'lightbulb' moment and put the engine in the right end for a change.........and then promptly 'went backwards' a few years later..........;)

+1 on the service history.
I think the 996 may have been a victim of it's own success to be fair. A lot more 996's were sold than any previous incarnations and because of that a lot of non enthusiasts bought them, leading to there being a few misunderstood and therefore mistreated ones about.
Said it before and said it again OP - buy a nice clean 993, it'll be easier to own, a better drive, a proper 911 and will depreciate less. 0 -

I didn't even bother with the S, a standard Carrera coupé in white with a sprinkling of options and i'm happy!I have to stop myself from going to the Porsche UK configurator. Time just flies out the window as I build myself Porsches. To be honest I love just the plain Vanilla 911 S, none of the that fancy turbo or 4 wheel drive non-sense

What about this lovely 968? Four seats, lovely proven engine that is very reliable and all for less than 8k. I drove one at a Porsche track day and I was very impressed.
Ahem ! :rolleyes:
Why spend 8k, when you can spend less than 7k ??
oh, what's that down there.......?.... a sig ?....surely not ?? Ode To The Motorist
