Ive been dreaming of buying a 911 since I was a kid and have been thinking about taking the plunge for a while. I almost went for a 996 C4S after a test drive but found the 996 styling alot inferior to the 997 and decided against it.
However, now 997s seem to be falling into my price range (50k), Im back in the market. So, now I need some info and advice.che
Im definitely looking at a Black with black interior. My only other preferences are to include the sports exhaust (as well as the usual sat nav, upgraded sound system, etc.)
So, to the questions:
1. Should I be going for a C2, C2S, C4 or C4S? (rember, this will be my first Porsche. Im upgrading from an M3)
2. For 50kish, what age am I looking at? A late 06, early 06? (Is 50k realistic?)
3. What issues should I look out for at this age? Can I expect a big bill at the garage?
4. Whats the typical servicing cost?
5. In terms of depreciation, what kind of drop is likely per year (for a 2-3 year old car)? Especially considering the facelift is just out?
6. How great is this car?
