So as the title suggests I have a budget of around £25K to purchase my first 911 although not my first Porsche, my problem is that I keep changing my mind as to which model to buy.
My initial choice was to look for a C4S because I love the wide body, it needs to be a soft top because that's my wifes preference and the car is a compromise between what we both want.
We all know that the C4S is a potential future classic or certainly the current asking prices are based on that premise so I'm now doubting my judgement and wondering whether to look for an early 997 or alternatively a narrow bodied 996 ?
I still love the 996 C4S but I'm not convinced that they are worth the extra value currently attached to them.
It's probably worth adding that I'm reasonably handy with the tools and have lots of contacts within the motor industry so I'm not scared of taking on a bit of a project and investing some cash. That's not to say that I'm not concerned by the usual IMS,RMS & bore scoring issues :lol:
Any advice would be appreciated especially if you've owned multiple models of the variants mentioned, the only advice I don't need is to up the budget because that's not a realistic option. :thumb:
