It's been a few years since I posted and since I sold my 84 Carrera. A couple break downs made me get a new car, a Passat, because I thought I should be more responsible now that I have a toddler. Anyway, I've dreamed of driving that car again (literally) and can't get Porsche out of my mind.

I hate the VW, and kind of "decided" to get a 2006 BMW 5 later this year - you know, cooler car, more fun and sportier, warranty left, etc. Anyway, I was surprised to see that the 1999-2000 Carrera's are going for around what I planned on paying for the BMW (low 30k'$), and what I really want is another Carrera - so, the reasearch begins: What do I need to look for? What milage is too high? Can a person purchase a (good) warranty for these years? Can I expect to have a "red-line it everyday, drive-it-like-you-stole-it, what an amazing car, this is so easy to work on" kind of car like my 84 was?

Also, can someone point me to a link explaining any differances between 911 models of 1999-2002?

Thanks (it feels good to be back on this board).
