Porsche 911 auto. Eeewww indeed
February 6th 2009 11:02
Trawling through the cars section of ebay recently, I came across a 996 911 Carrera at a Brisbane dealer for only $56,000.
This is seriously cheap for a 996. It did get me to thinking that it was now a ten year-old car now (not necessarily a bad thing but noteworthy) and that when old 930s and even 911Ts from the 70's are still pulling 35 grand that this was a bit of a bargain.
Kilometres were on the high side (140 thou) but tolerable for the outlay.
While opening my wallet, hoping to see a winning lotto ticket to flutter out, I scrolled further down the page and froze in horror. The transmission was listed as 'automatic'. What kind of wanker would buy and auto 911?
A Carrera Cabriolet I could forgive for having a porridge-stirrer (no doubt driven by hairdressers) in place of a man's shifter, but a 'nine-elev' with a slushbox? Like Grandad said. "The world is going to hell in an auto 911". Damn straight Grandpa.
