New Guy looking for my 1st porsche! HELP!

Hello All,

I am looking at buying my 1st porsche and would like some advice. I was looking for something for just around $60000. I have been looking at 2002 911 turbo, but I'm not sure this is what I want.

I really would like to find a non-modded car, but still fun. I would also like the option to do some modding if I feel like it.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Dennis

Get a TT. Might as well start near the top. As a previous posted indicated, the TT's are highly modable in the event you decide to do it.

I think you'll find the majority votes for the manual.
Especially on an enthusiast forum.

always go with Manual...

You can't go wrong with a TT, but don't be scared of one with a few mods. You will save money in the long run
