the price difference between a new S and the standard engine is big.
In the used car market the difference is not so big.
Its really the only way to go, When I was searching I never looked at anything but an S.
aside from that my must have's were:
1-Silver paint & Red interior (classic Porsche)
2-6 six manual ( I hate the very notion of paddle shifters and tip tronic, it has ruined motorsports).
3-Not sure if the brakes on the S are different than the standard, if so
that's another must have.
4-Litronics, I really don't understand why this wasn't a standard option. A car name like Porsche should never leave the factory with lesser lights than a Honda.
5-Factory windblocker and the rool hoop screens (way too expensive new)
The upgraded stereo, with the windblocker its perhaps the best top down audio experience ever.
6-Wheels are a personal choice. I like BBS so I wasn't getting around that upgraded.
But the best option is LOW MILEAGE. My 2000 S came with 10,000 miles.
