I'll push for the 997S option. It's relatively quick and entertaining. You probably won't be entirely raped in six months when you flip it. And after four SUVS, isn't it time for a change?

Thanks guys, I have pretty much ruled out the Cayenne and the Mercedes. I have changed my options a tad, and I am either going to be doing a 997/997s, New 2005 C4S, or 2003 Turbo Tip. The reason for tip is it is the only one we have in. Thus, I am really favorable to the 996 widebodies, so I would guess it will be the new C4S or used turbo.

As far as losing value, I really do not because of how I buy the cars. Keep in mind that my family is a large Porsche dealer, so that is why I switch cars so often.

996Turbo- I am 21 years old.

Now that makes sense.

Which dealership? Any "group buy" offers from your dealer for fellow 6Speeders?

I'd rather have a manual trans 997 S than a tip turbo.

Well, I went a way different route than originally planned, for the sake that I could buy the car for an extremely good price, and KNOW for a fact that I would not lose value for the next 6-8 months. I bought a 2005 Porsche 911 C4S. it is seal grey with full leather grey interior. It has all of the creature comforts, (cd, cd changer, bixenons, full leather, aluminum package...) and has 130 miles on it. I am the first owner. Now, I just need to post some pics, and also get the mods started!

Oh also, we are Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, FL, and I am sure we can work some sort of deal out for group buys.
