Thumbs up
Actually, 996 Turbo is a doable deal. The engine has proven to be MORE reliable than the base 996 engine. And, from first hand experience, it is a BLAST to drive. Marginally more expensive to maintain than a regular 911.

Very very nice car, I would highly recommend one, and the resale has held up rather well.

I'm pricing them out right now. I don't want to make the move until the third quarter I think, but I am just doing some prospecting right now...

BTW- I am located in Carlsbad and I deal in pre-owned Porsches. If you want, I can help you find a cherry Turbo. Let me know if I can assist and I will be happy to do so.

Well then, we may just have to rendezvous later this year.

I'll be around the forum, when the time comes, I'll contact you, I'm in Los Angeles.

What about the GT3? It's quite an awesome car without the maintenance hassel of a turbo... It's cheaper anyway than the turbo
