kjin, that's a good move. I wish I'd seen this thread earlier to urge you NOT to buy the 98. So many improvements were made each model year the car was on the road that it's silly to buy an older one if you can afford a newer one.
Even if the 98 had all the maintenance done and was garage kept and had super low mileage, it still has 17 year old components and gaskets on it and these early 986's were not recognized for their long-lasting and inexpensive replacement parts, that's for sure!
Plus, the 06 will have two very important things you may not realize you'll get: a glove box and a rear glass window in the convertible top. The lack of interior storage is crazy on the early models and that plastic window is a pain in the arse to get out and fold manually each time the top is lowered, not to mention the fear of cracking the plastic when it's cold.
