I've been looking for sometime now, and have finally sold my car, so I'm ready to finally buy a C2. I've got it narrowed down to two prospects both of which are the same price.

#1.
2001 C2
50K miles (bothers me a lot)
black on black
factory aero kit
GT3 look wheels

#2.
2000 C2
only 15K miles (I've done a carfax and it looks good)
silver on grey (grey interior really bothers me)
no aero kit
TT look wheels

Help me out with some comments.

TIA

Make sure that the owner got the 15K service or have him/her adjust the price to include it. Don't forget a PPI.

Car #1 has been driven too much.

 

Keep shopping. Get a car the does NOT bother you in any way.

 

Yep don't settle there are enough 996's out there that you will find the one that you "Have to have"! Also just my opinion Black interior is THE best!

 

Keep looking. There is a car out there that you will love completely.

 

Took me a year to find the one I was looking for.

 

Keep looking. The market is full of P-cars. Check e-bay or autotrader just to get an idea of what's out there.

 

There's a lot of P-cars out there with less miles. Try autotrader.com, thats where i found mine.

 

I aggree with what others have said. Wait to find a car you really like.

subscribe to the Porsche Marketing Letter - http://www.pmletter.com/ - they have hundreds of Porsches in just about every configuration. Get exactly what you want - it's not cheap to modify a car to get what you want. And there is a glut of cars.

good luck

 

Like others have already said, the smart thing is to take your time and find the car that is exactly what you want. But if you are like me, are impatient, don't want to wait, and want to buy something right now, I'd choose the lower mileage car out of the two. Plus I like silver/grey over black/black. Grey interior also isn't my first choice but doesn't look bad at all.

 

Ditto what John Said.

 

If something about the car really bothers you..........

KEEP SHOPPING!
