I had this mint '04 M3 purchased with 14K miles on it and dumped another $12K to get it to this:
Now I have this older, no factory warranty 911:
I would never, ever go back to the M3, even the new E92 version, for my "dated" 911. Many reasons why.

Came over from the modded BMW camp, and also sold my sport bikes (CBR 900rr, Yamaha R1 and a screaming little RD350, I've had more than my fair share of fun on them).
After owning my 02 C2 for over a year now I don't think I could drive anything else except for another pcar. I drive mine daily.
$45k should get you into a good deal on a clean pcar. Mileage is typically the largest dictator of price from what I've seen. Good luck with the hunt!

This is what I would do. Buy a clean 02+ 996 so you get the bigger motor and updated look for around $32-35. You have to get the warranty. I can not stress that enough. Porsche offers a extended warranties for around 5k. I have already used my extended warranty and it's only been a month. The remaining amount should be sufficient for wheels, suspension, ssk, stereo system, pse, and intake plenum, and insurance for a year 
. Plus, you can also update the look to a c4s. I have seen turbo front bumpers for $500(direct bolt-on on c2), side skirts for $400, and rear bumper for $300(have to do some work on the rear quarter panels because of the narrowboby).

Well that's not really what I said- I could "see" myself driving a few other cars (which for now are not quite within my financial grasp 
)
For now, I don't plan on driving anything else except a planned upgrade to a 997S or 996TT later this year (tough choice). Having too much fun driving my 996 since I bought it, more fun than I've had with any other car to date. IMHO a 996 is the best "bang for the buck" performance car in this particular price range. Buy one and find out

c4s all the way!!!!!!!!!
Hey,
My name is mike. Back in the day, I had an extensively modified B6 Audi A4. I then sold it and purchased myself an E46 M3. I love that car but sold it after only owning it for about a year to buy my current vehicle, a Ducati. I live in FL and thought a bike would be fun. However, I am now in the market for a car. I have saved up $36k and have about $10k of value in my bike, which I intend to sell. I love it to death, which is the likely path, should I choose to keep it. Anyways, with a grand total of around $45k, what would you buy? I am currently thinking either a C4S or a E46 M3 and spending the change on modding it. Your thoughts? I need to decide this in the next month, so the clock is ticking!

Okay. So I decided on getting a C4S. With 44k (really $41K cus taxes), is it possible to get into a low millage? Anyone know of a good one?
