997S, hands down. If P-Cars were as cheap as they are now when I bought mine, I'd be in a blacked out 997S with Chrono Package & full factory aerokit right now.

... But they weren't

Good for you!

the V8 M3's have lost 10's of thousands since their introduction. Plenty of those, fully equipped, are going for 45 to 50K. Steer clear of them. The E46 M3 is still king when it comes to BMW...............

Welcome to the Light! You have friends in the Light...

Seriously, that's a great choice, too bad about the reason. GL in your search!

I agree. My budget of maybe +/- $60k....So far I want a C2s or C4s...maybe turbo later down the road ( i want somthing to look forward to)

First choice in color would be sum kind of blue....Black is second choice
