auto spies changed its mind

this week he wrote:

"One of the nicest Porsche's out there right now is the 911 '40th anniversary edition'.

And, they're even giving great discounts on them!

The deal was so good, I bought one for myself!"

several weeks ago he wrote

"

As you know, we along with a large number of Porsche enthusiasts were lukewarm on the 996 body design (C4S and Turbo excluded).

We did not like the elimination of the aggressive, muscular look/stance of the 993 model and a rather cheap looking interior with inferior ergonomics.

At the prices these cars go for and what's now available now from the competition, well...it just wasn't making it in our opinion."

Funny what happens when $$$ is involved. Don't they have some type of dealer referral service/advertising now?

yes, and since then I have not found them to be as valuable, too much opinion, not enough facts
