They do get expensive, but no one said Porsche's where cheap to drive.
I don't what cheap plastic parts your talking about, and I see your point about a warranty. But a '99 with a warranty is just as good in my opinion. Your also going to end up paying the same in repairs etc. regardless of how quickly you rack up the miles or which year your car is. The only difference is how quickly you'll have to do the repairs. I'd rather drive the car and enjoy it than have it sit in the garage. The car that sits will not be as fun!
This is all just opinion. While a 2006 will obviously be better than a '99, there is nothing wrong with the '99 that should stop you from buying one if you want one.
Brucelee, I agree, but I wouldn't make that a deal breaker on buying a '99 vs. a '03+, it just takes some extra effort.
