[coldstart]

I have owned a 1972 911T targa for the past 9 years and I love it. I am looking at adding a 997 for daily driver duties-- this includes rain, snow and salt so winter tires and AWD are required. I will likely do some DEs with the car but given my limited experience, the difference between a 4 and 4S and the ceramic brakes likely will not be a decision maker for me.

I am looking specifically at two cars:

2007 911 C4S
slate grey
fully loaded
ceramic brakes
full leather
70K miles
has been tracked and winter driven
quasi-dealer car
very good condition

2008 911 C4
meteor gray
good options (chrono, sport steering wheel)
30K miles
not tracked or winter driven
dealer sold car
excellent condition

Both cars are at the top end of my budget and are around the same price. I like the first car better as I like the extra power, the darker colour and it has Carrera Sport wheels versus the lobster claws on the second car.

I am hesitant given the extra age, mileage and the fact that the first car has been winter driven for 5 years. Plus, I have a limited budget for repairs and resale is a consideration. I likely will only have the car a few years as the 72 isn't going anywhere and at some point I am going to require a family car with a trunk that can hold a stroller and four doors.

Advice?
