135 to 911?

My135 · 07-24-2009, 11:01 AM

If money is not an object, I will go with either GT2 or GT3.

if you can,do it!

911 S, totally worth it, I think you may be able to get even more off, here in LA, McKenna was advertising $30,000 off MSRP on all leftover 911s from 2008

Not that you'd want to, but you won't be able to find any non-specialized mechanics who will touch a Porsche, even to just do an oil change.

precisely why I got rid of my Boxster after 3 sweet years....maintenance on these cars is scary.

But if I had a chance to get a 911 in my price range I wouldn't even think twice.

looked under the hood of a 135i? good luck finding a backyard mechanic for that

You could pick up a nice 993 for $25,000 and have $15,000 to maintain it with.
