Auto trader if you are willing to get 1 out of state.

turbotoys1 Nov 25, 2010 07:26 PM

Yes I will buy out of state some times the best way to get the car u want

Auto trader does seem to have the most selection.

I got mine from auto trader. I liked how I could set up multiple search options, on multiple searches, and get emails when a car was posted that matched any of the searches I'd saved.
And since your willing to buy 1 from out of state you'll have a ton of cars to look at.

Good luck and let us know what car you get and when.

Great tip guys tons of cars thanks. Now the ? is if i should just buy 1 with the more miles on it and just drive the heels off of it im in mn so we do get some snow but the ? is ton of miles or get one with 25 ta 50 miles and drive it here and ther?

Get the 1 that you think will make you the happiest.

u might consider using punctuation and capitals and nt slng texting style if u will be seeking to buy a car frm an adult.

people that tkae the tme to communitcate clearly and carefully are taken more seriously.

but then again, maybe you'll fidn a low mile car owned by a 20something looking 4 a quick sale.

It depends what kind of 996 you want. I would look on here to buy one. IMHO I haven't heard of members selling cars that had major issues to another member with out first disclosing of them.... but I don't read every post and I haven't been a member for very long. With Ebay or a used car salesmen you may run a greater risk of buying a lemon. I bought two 1999 996's on Ebay. I had no issues with the first, and many issues with the second. Why a 996? I wish I had bought a 997 or a 993.

I bought mine in December of 2008 with 54K miles. I now have around 76K miles. A good 20% of those miles were in snow.

I drive it. Everyday. Rain, shine, snow, sleet -- it's better than our mailman.

Personally, I'd rather have a car that has some miles that a garage queen.

Keep a close eye on Craigslist for local examples- that's where I found mine.

landjet Nov 26, 2010 11:22 AM

I bought mine off of the PCA National website. Click on The Mart at the top of the page.
