Would have bought new, but didn't have the cash and I wasn't gonna borrow money on a depreciating item like a car. It's all about the factory bumper to bumper warranty for me.

I had an extra 25K sitting the the bank and decided to write a check for my 99 three years ago. I don't like the thought of payments or liens.

I've bought 2 new;
I tried to buy a left over '05' S but the numbers on the '06' were too good to turn down besides the '05' had stuff on it Ididn't care for.
I think getting a left over from the previous year is good deal if you can find one with the color and options you like.
One question for the guys that bought used, anybody get a Porsche certified warranty? if so, what was the extent of coverage?

New or Used?
Bought 1997 in November '05, 9,700 miles on it from local dealer. Performed 100 point inspection but no warranty. All warranty work complete and trouble free so far.

Bought myself my 99 for my 18th birthday present on October 20th 2005. The wife of the previous owner insisted that she put a ballon on it since it was my birthday.
