Well, I'm certainly a bit envious, as evidenced by my thread in the VS section. I think a 911 might be in my future, too (albeit an 8-10yr-old one). I love the 991 but it's certainly not in the cards at the moment. Heck, even a 997 S is a stretch but if I sell the 93 octane-swilling, insurance policy-killing, wallet-denting RS6 and replace it with a more reasonable daily I think I can swing it :)

save up till you get out of the 2001-2005 ones, subsequent IMS updates are worth it, go 06 up fyi

All are welcomed here. It's always nice to get a mix of other cars here or there once in a while and learn from one another.

@kiichiro nice Porsche's brother. :cheers:

I'm fairly certain the IMS issues don't go away until 2008 or 2009. The IMS bearing is not an issue in the 996 Turbo, which uses 993/964 engine components and is also the only 996 I would get.
For a 997 I'd look at an 05-06 Carrera S 2wd and pay my Porsche master tech friend a couple thousand to do the IMS retrofit.
