Well this is the 993 section, but personally, id go w/ the 996. I just prefer a new(er) car than older. Both are great cars, and you really can't go wrong w/ either.

If you're looking for the better "driver's car" and strong residual...go with the 993TT.

I'm also of the opinion that it's much more visually appealing than the 996.

Go test drive them both and then choose. From a looks perspective I prefer the 993 TT although I wouldnt be in such a rush for a white one as I always preferred them in darker colours, especially the blue.

Definitely the 993TT..... the 996 TT is also a great car, probably a better daily driver's car than 993......

What he said.

You will lose money on the 996TT almost right off. You will most certainly make money on the 993TT.

Better looking car. "opinion"

Better drivers car.

No brainer 993tt. That is a legend otherwise you are buying a pawn. Sorry 996 owners.

Aloha

Well its bound to happen from time to time. Nice new car by the way Controlit. Granted if I had unlimited amounts of money...a 996TT would be in my garage (along with 100 other Porsches), but for me the newer cars dont do it for me as much as the older ones do. Then again....I would trade my white porker for Controlit's white porker, you cant go wrong with a NA GT3.
