Default Which to buy.

I want to get one. The Ameoba headlights make me want to barf many times over though. That being said I love the c4s and the turbo.

Then 997 c4s adn turbo are too pricey for my satisfaction. I'm thinking max 80k on a used car is what I want to spend.

Of the 3 listed (If you don't like any don't vote). Which would you choose and why?

I'm

Thanks.

997 > 996. Wait a few months for a slightly used Turbo Cabrio. If you were looking into Lambos, I'm sure you could swing it. If you want the satisfaction now, go with the 997 C2S. Why? It's a whole new generation.. 996 interior and exterior look quite dated now.

997 is better.

All way the hell out of my range, but can you imagine saying something like this 10 or 15 years ago?

I voted 996 Turbo Cab.

Nothing like a 911 Turbo, except a 997 Turbo.

I'd ideally like to own a 997 Turbo Cab and a 997GT3RS.

Either way man its a Porsche and well how could you go wrong?

Latest advertising in Aus has a 997 Turbo can and Coupe sitting looking towards the sea!? Tag line "Fang Shui"
