Should I buy 2003 S or 2005 (986 or 987)?

*rubs eyes...clears glasses.....still wondering hos its ugly compared to a 986 *

rahl, if you're worried about warranty, note the 3K you don't spend in the exteded warranty for the 03 can be applied to wheels.....I think less than 1500 got me the wheels and tires...

I say go newer if you can......but drive them both...my 987 is a daily and I can't stand driving ANY other car...its that good....and go with he painted cayman vents....either way, best of luck

I honestly don't think anyone can really help you with this decision. Beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Anyway, I also agree in that the warranty has a lot of value. Essentially, you have no worries with the warranty. Just enjoy the car and if anything happens, you won't have to pay alot of money to repair your car. It's easy to install an aftermarket radio and speakers, so that is not much of a problem. I have a base 2000 and love it. The S is quicker, no question, but for 95% of the time I drive, it does not really matter. I would choose the newer model with the warranty.

Good Luck!
