996 Choices - any input welcomed
Looking for first 996
I found an '04 that has all of the options I'm looking for - 3-spoke wheel, heated seats, sport seats and Litronic headlights. I also just rec'd an email from pvt party seller telling me he's lowered the price. Here are the 2 cars
2004 - 77k miles - asking $25K - but with dlr fees and shiping $26k - at an independent dealer.
One owner car, called Porsche dlr. and they indicated that it was last in for the 60k service and that it had a clutch at 46k.
1999 - 49k miles - asking $19k - local pvt party sale
has a 3-spoke wheel. The nice part is that I can actually go and touch this car and there would be no fees and shipping.
Both are silver on black, both have good tires and are very clean. PPI would be done regardless.
So...go with a local low mileage '99 or spend the 7k more for the '04?
I supect I'll upgrade in 5 years so resale is somewhat of a factor.
Like I said, any input is appreciated.
Thanks
