You live realtively close to Jake Raby so getting the upgrades done would be easy.

The market on these cars (and most all sports cars for that matter) is really soft right now so some very good deals can be had. Put the engine upgrades into your purchase budget upfront, get it done, then go have a blast and sleep like a baby without this stuff to worry about......aside from the engine issues (which is a big deal, but can be fixed), these really are great cars in almost every way.

Good luck.
I'm looking for 986 or 987 and in searching the usual sites the prices on the 03/04 S are insane to me. Most 03 S are $22K with an occasional $24K and the 04 S are mostly $25K to $28K. Prices are way out of line. It's winter here in Philly and the prices for these cars are not coming down...yet. Hopefully they will soon.
