yes, original plan is to buy one because I know I will not get tire of looking at this car for a long time. That said, you are right, leasing is looking like a better way to go... I am sure they will do a face lift at some point too. Maybe within the next few years, they will work out most ofthe issues.

jchoice is on a distinguished road
Just got my car back from the dealer today. They took very good care of me and the car. All of the minor issues have been fixed. I needed an updated gas cap, a few minor rattles resolved, a transmission update (new fluid, some adjustment), and they did the oil change. The 1000 mile service was free. I didn't know that it was until I picked up the car.

The next service is at 11,000 miles so it won't be for at least a year.

It was great to get the car back - it drives so well. I missed it.

Michael 996TT will become famous soon enough
Got my car - having trouble posting pictures. Fantastic car - and I dumped my modded '03 996tt for it - yeah turbo was faster (550hp) but the AM is so much nicer. People go crazy over the looks - not many here in St Pete. I'll keep posting ... so far a 10!

Enjoy it. One of the things I really like about the car is the fact that you see very few of them around.
