I wonder if I could start a 'Go Fund Me' campaign....
My boys would contribute, unfortunately with money I give them every month so that won't work...

Thanks for the comments....
Anything else specific I should be looking for on this car? I will have an opportunity to look under it for suspension, CV boots and leaks.

I don't track my cars or, in all honestly, drive them very hard.
The 03 996 does have glass rear window, as does my Boxster S with its replacement top.

Quadcammer-Your statement is part of my trepidation...When I drove a Box S for the first time, it was like "Holy Sh_t!" The whole sensation of performance and feel of the car said "This is a sports car!" I was driving an fairly new Z4 6 speed at the time and the Box S just felt like so much more fun. I'm scared I'll go the wrong direction with the 996 Cab.

As for value, I wouldn't be buying with the thought that these cars are going to skyrocket in value in the future. I do feel that I won't loose much, if anything over the course of a few years.
