An 'S' for the weekend!

Sounds like someone is trying to tell you something...

As long as the S has been taken care of and didn't have crazy high mileage, I'd go for it and ditch the 98 base.

I have a 98 base and love my car. Ed

Have your friend post it here, others may be interested.
I for one would take a look.

Since I know the seller I know how he has taken care of the car. FWIW, he takes it to the Porsche dealer he bought it from for everything. I prefer to do my own maintenance, chose my own oils, and OCI, but at least I know this car hasn't been neglected. BTW it has 60k miles while my base has 48k.

Urban Legend, I will if I'm not interested.

And I like our '98 base as well, no complaints at all, but why not upgrade to an S if possible?

I'm probably going to buy it this weekend...

Just wish it was Artic Silver.

as some like the 5 speed gear ratios better than the 6 speeds. And on the 201HP you can keep your foot down longer and stronger than in the S.

Inspect the CV joint boots as they are a weak link on the S models due to more stress from the angle of the half shafts.

Had a '99 (totaled) and now have a '01S. I think the fun factor was the same.

Thanks Mike,

He had the boots replaced last fall, but I'll be sure to take a look. It's interesting that you put the fun factor as the same. I'll be sure to take this into account this weekend. Thanks.

I think you'll find a nice noticeable difference in power between your 201hp 98 and the 258hp in the 03 S. Plus, the 03 has the glass window soft top....a real nice update!
