Based on that article I should be looking for a 2009 or later.

The father of my girlfriend is a Porsche engineer and helped develop the car. His opinion on this engine generation is, that you have to read out the electronics for any revs which hit the limiter. If there are more than a couple, leave it where it is. Otherwise it is a fine engine if treated properly!

Thanks for the info guys!
The Turbo will be out of my price range for sure. Buying a 911 is an idea I have for next year maybe. It would be a part time daily driver and part time hobby car that we would use in local Porche Club events. One of my good friends is doing this with a used 911 he got last year and he is having too much fun. Now I want to play too! I'm hoping to be able to spend about 25k on a decent one. |

Depends on what you consider really nice. I test drove an '01 996 that the dealer listed at $18.5K. 55K miles, manual, non-S, full leather interior. If somebody was inclined to take a gamble on the M96 the 996s are getting pretty cheap. |
