Prices on these cars have been going up! last year at this time prices were a bit cheaper, i'd say if you pay $20,000 and you have records & it checks out, then you are good

Was that the yellow beauty you just sold? Glad I didn't know about it earlier or I would've been tempted to sell my m3 and get another 996.

Nice yellow!

Is that a factory C4S/Turbo bumper or aftermarket for NB cars?

Maybe I should save for a couple more years and get a 997 instead

Thanks for posting pics of your beautiful cars!

You can get a hell of a deal these days on 996's or wait a little and get a 997

Is that the standard 997 Carrera? If so, how do you like it, compared to your 996? How's the power and the handling? Any difference?

Thanks,
Jon

That's a regular 997 carrera. It feels like an evolution (not a revolution) to the 996. Power is very similar, you are sitting lower on the 997, while the 996 felt more raw and spartan, the 997 has more comfort creatures but handling and shifting is tighter, more precise.

your 996 interior was amazing! love the speed yellow. I find the bold colors really transform p-cars. Your 997 is nice too, what do you have planned mod wise?
