Well said.

I like the '00-'04 models personally. I'm always afraid of "first year" models of any car (due to personal experience twice). The '00 model fixed many of the "bugs" found in the early model and raised the engine size a little and stayed pretty much the same through '04. The '05 was 80% new so I consider that a new model as does Porsche since they gave it the 987 designation. We got the '00 model because it was a Consumer Reports best buy with high reliability ratings.

I feel the need to chime in... I distinctly remember typing "someone on this board said something very profound... the cheapest Porsche is the most expensive to maintain.

I just couldn't remember which one of the Porsche gurus said it, but it was a winner and one I must personally say "AMEN!" to over and over and over.

Jim, youda man!
