Default Shopping for a Carrera '00-'03

I I know that this probably isn't the best place to ask, but everyone here has quite a wealth of knowledge I thought I'd give it a try.

Is there a year to avoid when considering these cars? Where would you go looking for information or cars for sale?

Etc.

Thanks for the help.

check the porsche dealer on stevens creek, also there are a bunch of smaller euro dealers all along there, gt motor sports, stevens creek european (i had a bad experience there with an m3), ect ect... try craigslist too for a realistic value of the car ur looking for...autotrader is ok anc cars.com is ok too...

as far as a year to avoid, i have no idea if there is a bad year for a porsche, generally if there is a model change, avoid the first year of the newest model, ive heard its the one that has the most probs... but i dont know when the last change for the carrera was...
