It's really up to you.
Here were my reasons for the 987 over the 986.
1- warranty - Porsche Certified used car, warranteed for 89,000 miles at time of purchase and out to 5/2012. Thats huge.
2-warranty - see above
3- looks - I really do like the more shapely body, especially around the wheel wells and I never did like the 986/996 headlights.
4-Interior - space, design, cup holders, quality, color (sand beige over the 986 tan)
5-3.2 engine with 280 HP and 236 lb.ft. of torque from 4600 to 6000 RPM.

Now the reality of the situation, the above was also what I used to convince myself the additional 20 thousand dollars was worth it.

I am happy!! :dance:
