Be very aware of the M96.2 Carrera motors and the troubles they have, look for one with very low mileage or one that has had it's motor replaced on warranty with an updated IMS bearing. The replacement cost for a factory crate motor is upwards of $12-14K plus labor. If you can afford it buy a 996 TT, their motors are different from the Carrera motors and race proven. More importantly, Buy the June 2010 issue of EXCELLENCE magazine and read the Tom Callas article titled M96 IMS Failures and fixes.
Good luck
