02 Cab or 02 C4S??

Just curious on opinions. I'm close to finally convincing the wife to let me get a toy and I've thought all along I wanted a CAB however after seeing an 02 C4S I'm having second thoughts. I found an '02 with about 15K miles that seems to be mint. I really like the look of the wide body along with the turbo front end. If you were me, would you get the '02 CAB or the '02 C4S??
Also, what can I expect to pay for the C4S?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts....

Drive both and buy the one you like best. They can be different driving vehicles. If you get the C2 cab then you are looking at the difference between 2 and 4 wheel drive plus the cab ve. coupe chassis, and the turbo brakes vs. standard 996 brakes. I got a C4 cab and I love the all wheel drive and the drop to capabilities. You do know there is a C4S cab right? Wide body turbo front and drop top....

Honestly, buy an '01 Turbo.

I'm going to have to agree with Hamann on this one. If you buy a NA P car right now, you are going to want more power within a year or so. Especially if you hang out here I have driven both, and both have their pros and cons. You are going to have to drive them to figure out which one you feel more comfortable with.

I went through the same decision. Finally opted for a 03 cab. Love the drop top driving. I agree with the other posters.... you may want more power shortly. But at the time did not have the extra $ to move to a turbo. Plus the additional insurance and eventual extra $ to maintain.(I tend to keep my cars) I'm in South NJ, feel free to pm me if you want to talk.
