got a few test drives lined up this weekend
-
Good list.
996 much easier to live with as a daily ride.
993/964 appreciating in value
Classic, bit of a problem child if you get unlucky
CSL will remain pretty static if you get the right one
A mate's 964.

no too small i have child and they are dropping big money at the mo and a 911 is a 911 it sells itself in the future
-
oh my that 964 is :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: whats it like to drive?
-
What makes you say the Cayman is dropping big money? The Gen2 being more available?
I see they're pretty up the wall, what's target pricing for say an 07?
-
i could not own one as i have a child and i would keep looking at the 911 saying should have got that :rolleye:
-
oh my that 964 is :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: whats it like to drive?
I haven't driven his, but they're very nice - so long as you can get over the pedals being way over to the left because of the fuel tank on a RHD and them feeling a bit small inside, almost Beetle like.
Obviously 996 onwards this was resolved and they feel a bit more spacious, that's why I said they're easier to live with.
-
yeah the 996 is looking the best for me but am defo going to try a csl too as it would be rude not to :smiley: its just finding the correct car with lots of history and looks like its been looked after
-
:congrats: do it dude
any of those porkas are a win for me :drool:
i'm in the same place, porka or m3 but i'll be waiting until after the summer before i scratch the itch
head says M3
heart says Porka
so buy a porka :pomppomp:

The only thing that puts me off about a CSL, and it shouldn't really, is the spazbox. DSG it ain't. Something that capable demands old skool driving style with H&T etc. A manual run-out model CS would be on my list and brakes/suspension/CSL esque interior.

the guy that bought my rims last night was standing on my drive asking what i wanted for the .:R32
selling mine wont be a struggle at all :innocent: but i'm definitely keeping it for the summer and then either keeping it and adding a car or selling it and replacing it
coin will be flipped when the time comes, until then i'll just have to telerate your pressure on the pings :grin:

That porker was at UD's last year wasn't????
-
No, you're probably thinking of Greg Howell's. It is very much the same.
They can be had for way less than 20k if you ignore the dreamers on Pistonheads.
-
Dreamers on pistonheads :laugh: there are a few

CSL FTW for me Mat. As great a car as the Porker is, if I bought a early 996 I would feel to much like someone who has remortgaged their house to get there first Porche now that the prices on them are within reach (just).
Thankfully you're a petrolhead that will be buying it for what it is and it's capabilities. But that are quite a few early 996s turning up round our way with owners who have bought them solely as a driveway ornament/status symbol rather for what they are all about..
CSL is just different and knowing how much you like your track days etc, IMO would be ideal. Especially with a little one to think of too. The 996 may have back seats (as such), but once the liitle un's legs start to grow a few inches...... :scared:
-
If you think a 996 is not child freindly you wanna see his bug!!! Lol! Can't believe you have 3 cars and an sti is the familly car! Lol, not that I'm jelous or anything,but I'm spending all my days lookin at new cars since I realised you were defo gettin one!
