About to buy my first 911

Hi; I'm brand new to 6speedonline and I'm looking for advice. I'm in the final stage of purchasing my first Porsche. It's a 2001 911 with 31K miles and it's already had the intermediate shaft bering retrofit performed by Flat Six Innovations in GA. The car is in excellent shape and has been a garage queen; however I want it for a daily driver.

The big question I have is this. I live in Cocoa Beach, FL and I'm only one mile from the beach. I live in a condo and I don't have a garage, only a carport. Would I be stupid to own a Porsche living this close to the Atlantic Ocean and not having a garage to store it in? I've always dreamed of owning a 911 and I don't want to make a very costly mistake. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think you have made a great decision, as it is not a brand new from dealer investment. Drive it like you stole it and enjoy your dream, man.

Post in the 996 subforum. There are several FL owners with the same generation 911. Welcome and good luck!

Thanks. I wasn't getting any responses so I did post in the 996 sub forum earlier this evening and I have received some responses. Thanks for the welcome. Everyone has been friendly and helpful and I don't even have my Porsche yet!
