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.

I agree with Raymond, Maldives is the best colour 
, 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.

Just going by the photos that looks pretty good, plus mileage is pretty low and it has heated M-Sport seats!
Coupes because stunning!

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.vmlopes wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 10:44 pm https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 23e70c8950

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.
