Coupe vs. Convertible
I have just purchased a 2003 996. While I was shopping, I noticed that the convertibles are typically about $5000 less than the coupes, even though they cost more new. Any thoughts on the reasons?
I love the car but am noticing it is using some oil and it smokes some during warm up. No leaks I can see. I read that this is normal to a point. Is this common? My car has 48000 miles.
The previous owner installed a Numeric Racing shifter and cables. I like the operation but the cables are noisy. He wrapped them for some improvement, but still more grind than I would like. I am considering having a mechanic open the console and putting in insulation. Any opinions?
