Have you looked at a review of the '05 when new

and read up on all the differences? The major ones are:

Variable ratio power steering

Stiffer chassis, wider wheel alignment

Bigger brakes

Head airbags

PSM standard

17” wheels standard (18”, 19” optional)

Improved headlights

More cockpit room

Better positioned roll bars

I own an '01S and, if I were buying, $3k for the 987's benefits would be just about right.

I don't buy the most expensive wine. I'm willing to spend considerably less to get what I consider to be 90-95% of the "goodness". But there are things I'm willing to spend more for. Is this it for you?

Any idea of the maintenance history on either?

Styling is a matter of personal taste.

The CPO can't be too much longer on an '04.
