She just likes to "bust 'em" & she is very good at it!
I have to admit being married 30 yrs I may have had 15 "toys"
66 vette, camaro, mgb , triumph , various BMW'S , a new boxster - that's her beef now
" we had that car & you didn't like it !" - only partially true , needed an excuse to trade it for a 911
Kids to college 911 had to go $$ . Had a Miata that was fun that was the last toy .

All those cars were fun but I remember the 986 handling the best - hope I have a good memory .
It's hard to go wrong at the current price - 10k from 11.

the 03 S seller just text me , down to 11k but I'm satisfied with a one owner base 02
the S had too many issues and too many unknowns -

Nice looking car. I started off with a 2001 base and now have a 2003 S. Both were/are great cars!

Did you sell your base outright or trade it in?
(if you don't mind me asking.....)

Congrats. Looks great. Get to know your car and enjoy! Try not to obsess with all the doom and gloom you may read on the various forums. These cars are a blast and routine maintenance is not expensive and easily performed DYI if you're so inclined.
