My First Porsche :)

Hi Guys,

Thanks for this great informative site, I have lost many hours of work because of this site, but I also pick up plenty of useful posts. This tuesday I pickup a 2001 996 with 26K miles, flew to SF and drove back to irvine, ca. Took 6 hours due to traffic, but was great fun! I am happy to join the elite crowd. now if only i can get rid of the road rashes....

Well come to the 6. I'm in SF and I have a black 99' with the same aero kit. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

I paid close to $40k, there were some mods (upgrade factory suspension, hid, crappy sounding aftermarket $7K stereo, fabspeed mufflers) There are more chips than I expected, I think its a fair deal... what you guys think?

Awesome! I have a question though, when you bought it did they give you the remains of the original retractable spoiler? Personally I'm not a fan of the GT3 spoilers and found a car that has everything I want in it except that it has the GT3 spoiler (and if its possible to remove by yourself).
