naaa.. the 996 turbos dont hold value at all.

you can pickup a well modded one for 80

BUY A PORSCHE YOU WONT REGRET THE RIDE QUALITY AND AMAZING INTERIOR DETAIL.
YOU WILL BE riding in truly unique exotic car.

PM me for info on mechanics -- unless you are planning to service the P. at MCL.

I've decided to hold on the 996 and save up for a 997 or exige, thanks for the input

42k for a 00 3.4L C2 is a ripoff.... i seen much lower milege facelifted 04 C2 with the 3.6L for less then that.

just spend more and get a 997.1.... 997.1 C2S is around 65k nowadays

ohh yeah...actually that's what a lot of people say...people hated 996's headlights

also a lot of Porsche fans prefer air-cooled engine

tofu1413 06-14-2009 06:34 PM

i never fancied the 996 either...

997 c2's i've seen them at about 55k or so...


then again... get a traditional air cooled 911: the 993. 993 C4S or C2S are sexy as fuck.

A stock one isn't be a bad daily either, If you ignore the complete lack of interior styling 993s are a perfect 10. They sell for more than equivalent 996s and it'll be that way for the rest of eternity, just because they are that much more raw and amazing. But it's got a much more casual look to it than previous 911, and looks way better than 964.

993s never have unsatisfied drivers,

slickk6o4 06-14-2009 09:09 PM

my cousin bought one in the states 06 carrera turbo for 35g's with 15000 miles on it, clean car, no accidents and shizzle. A 06 down there is at least 70-80g's

ilvtofu 06-14-2009 09:11 PM

^it's probably a carrera and not a turbo for 35G's but meh a 997 carrera doesn't have much appeal, minimum would be a C2S

i've talked to a quite a few 993 owners that i bumped into at weissach.. and they all love their 993's. light mods and still plenty quick for a reliable daily driver.

993 C4S in arctic white is beautiful...

993 would hold its value the best: its the perfected air cooled 911 and would hold its value really really well (hell, you might even sell it for more than you bought it for)

My dad has a 1995 993 Carrera and has owned it since day one, First yellow one in vancouver.

Exhaust note is amazing without a cat, sounds like a muscle car but has a german piston mechanical noise as well.

Wait till economy gets better these cars are gonna be worth some good money.

Death2Theft 06-14-2009 09:22 PM

Yeah nothing beats the sound of a widebody aircooled bug.

tofu1413 06-14-2009 09:25 PM

any air cooled 911 sounds awesome just driving by..... @_@


997's are nice too! 996's only make a good noise with the sport exhaust system... =/

Amazing interior detail! Lol since thats Marco's favorite response to most things performance related, how about you post some of these amazing interior details to WOW us with how amazing and justified porsche interiors are since they make the most profit per car sold of *ANY* manufacturer bar none.

Keep in mind this is what your paying for
Porsche earns an average profit of $28,000 per vehicle sold. What this means is that with each Carrera that rolls off the lot, they have enough money to buy a couple of Pontiacs of their own.

That $28,000 figure “dwarfs the per-car earnings of virtually any other automaker.” By comparison, BMW makes about $3,200 per car, whereas Audi gets about $1,580. When you start looking at higher volume vehicles, the figure drops even further, with Chrysler only making $900 and VW netting $400.

993 are already worth more then a 996

.Renn.Sport 06-15-2009 12:03 AM

996's interior wasn't all that bad with the full leather optioned

997 interior blows away any lexus in either plastic or full leather
