Have you ever driven one?

If the 996 is the worst 911, then the 986 is the worst Boxster as well....

Don't buy into the negative hype, if so I guess you like driving the cheap hair dresser Porsche



I think the wood is a factory option,not aftermarket

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. YMMV



I have seen 996 (non-roller) listed for as low as $12k

I love the 996 hence why I put worst in quotations. The car is perceived styling wise as the ugly duckling, but this allows great performance to be bought for a great possibly unmatched price, I can't think of many cars with comparable performance and prestige to the 911 available under 20k.

I have never seen any for anything like 12k, it'd be hard for me not to upgrade to a 911 if one comes by for that price.

I think Tom paid that or less for his 996 and it's a very nice car. They are out there. There's a 996 Cabriolet in Wichita Ks for $14 that looks like a nice ride.

I'm seeing Boxsters in the $4-6k range...
