The supply of these cars is huge if your willing to wait and look around.

You should wait to get the color you want and lower miles.

You've waited how long to get one? So whats a little longer to get your color and miles.

Porsche parts are expensive so lower miles should mean less replacements and lower operating cost.

Just remember that the average yearly maint cost of a 986 is still ~$2k per year, perhaps half that if you DIY, so in any case you should have a bit of a reserve built up for those things, especially at the higher miles.

It is after all a $65,000 German sports car you are going to maintain and although the value of the car has dropped, the cost of maintenance has not.

BUT, as everyone here will tell you...Its worth it !!!
