New to Porsche

Ive always loved the Porsche line but never really stepped up to the german brand. Im looking at a Turbo Porsche. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get a bit of research under my belt?

At the end of the day id like to have me a Porsche thats a monster from a roll.

Thanks.

Some searching on Here should give you alot of info, PPI is Key, Who worked on the car before you got it is also very big deal. If its modded who tuned it and how are they with second owners.

Thanks for the insight... One question being is as far as transmissions is the tiptronic tranny good? I have always owned stick cars and planned on sticking with them. Is the tiptonic option worth picking over a stick Porsche?

the transmission has no inherent issues, it holds mods okay, until you get into the aftermarket turbo realm and its touchy at that point how long it will hold.

its not something to consider above a manual by any means. the new PDK in 997's is a different story.

ask your questions away the worst that could happen is they dont get answered.

Pre Purchase Inspection, this is something you should search about, dealers lie dont tell you what they really see and can save you thousands in repair costs.
