On the other hand, if you are considering an 05 vs. 06, as tejoe mentioned above, there are several mechanical improvements done on 06 models. An important improvement were design changes to reduce/eliminate the dreaded engine RMS (Rear Main Seal) issue. For mechanical peace of mind, I would choose the 06 model.
Just for clarification; I don't think RMS issues were reduced/eliminated as much as the IMS issues were.

If I was in your shoes I would be more interested in cars with good warranties.

Yeah, I know...but for my budget, I think this is a good deal.
Because I do not have to do many things since she already did almost
everything that I need. Also, this car worked done by sharkwerks.
Also, she is one of member in this forum.
So, I think this deal is not that bad..
What do you think?
Still not a safe? and any suggestion price? She said $48 is her bottom.
Thanks.

Sounds like a nice car and it has our exhaust upgrades which is a nice addition. Good luck with the purchase and try to get a warranty, let me know if you have any questions about the car.
Thanks
Thanks

That car was actually mine and now my sister is driving it as I'm already back at Singapore working. As for correction, the car mods was mostly done by SonicMS and only the Evo Intake was done by SharkWerks (I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my Porsche's engine
). I invested heavily on the car and it's problem-free since the day I bought her from Porsche dealership at Tucson.PM me if you have any further questions

Sorry for late reply..
Anyway, thanks a lot guys.
Your advices were really helpful to me.
Right now, I am just comparing two cars which are 05 and 06.
These are have almost same mileage but 05 have just little bit more options.
I am still comparing these cars, so I will let you know.
Thanks.
