Default Which to buy.

I want to get one. The Ameoba headlights make me want to barf many times over though. That being said I love the c4s and the turbo.

Then 997 c4s adn turbo are too pricey for my satisfaction. I'm thinking max 80k on a used car is what I want to spend.

Of the 3 listed (If you don't like any don't vote). Which would you choose and why?

I'm

Thanks.

997 > 996. Wait a few months for a slightly used Turbo Cabrio. If you were looking into Lambos, I'm sure you could swing it. If you want the satisfaction now, go with the 997 C2S. Why? It's a whole new generation.. 996 interior and exterior look quite dated now.

997 is better.

I wouldn't get a cab, I'd get a GT3 ftw

All way the hell out of my range, but can you imagine saying something like this 10 or 15 years ago?

I voted 996 Turbo Cab.

Nothing like a 911 Turbo, except a 997 Turbo.

I'd ideally like to own a 997 Turbo Cab and a 997GT3RS.

Either way man its a Porsche and well how could you go wrong?

Latest advertising in Aus has a 997 Turbo can and Coupe sitting looking towards the sea!? Tag line "Fang Shui"
