I think the carmax warranty is fine as long as you get dealer service for everything and document document document. Your first track day probably voids the warranty though. CPO may be cheaper.

Asking is 17,500 but they would probably fall all over a 15k offer. I don't think they are that hard to find but no one should be looking.

Residency Evil posted:Pics dude! I saw an interesting radar thing from escort that reports the speed traps with a waze like software and shares it with other users. I mean I drive a minivan so I am immune from traffic stops but if I was driving a ticket magnet I would investigate.

Yeah I think the reporting is automatic so it has that but the user base has to be tiny. Maybe truckers. It looks like it is a free app, but a pay version is better, and it syncs with any escort brand radar detector. I only know about it because I put in an car play receiver and this was one of the apps they were pimping. Elephanthead fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Sep 19, 2016 |

So you guys are saying if I buy a cheap, i.e. used corolla priced 1999 911 I am likely looking at only expensive ongoing repairs instead of haha hope you like living in a trailer park level repairs? I am so tempted to buy the worst 911 ever and drive it as a winter beater.

It is really like buying a $17k one with all the service it has had assuming he won't come down on the price but I bet he has some wiggle. It is cheaper then a corolla just go buy it.

blk posted:Do we think 987 Caymen are at the bottom of their depreciation curve? 8 year old plus cars drop off fast because you can't get a loan. 1999 - 2004 911 are all identically priced as far as I can tell. Just look at a ton of sales and build a curve.

Pryor on Fire posted:Yeah you really need a basic education in personal finance. No nice way to put it, sorry chief. It was a joke but it is funny because it is true. Assuming you buy a $15k 1999 911 and have good credit, your interest expense is $262 in the first year (the most expensive interest year). Two oil changes are going to run you at least $600. If you assume a $40k porsche and a 60 month loan you still pay more for oil changes then interest ($1,800 in interest $3,000 in oil changes) . Even a new $89k porsche (Look I know a good one is $140k) the interest is still cheaper then two oil changes a year over a 60 month term (Lets assume they ding you the full $400 a change for a new one cause poo poo you can afford it $3,015 vs $4,000 for oil). What I am saying is lease and don't change the oil.

I am going to buy a tiptronic or PDK so I can spill coffee all over the thing while I drive it in snow. I have my eyes on a 2000 that some poor soul has been trying to sell for 6 months on craigslist. The worst 911 will be mine yes it will.

Gorgar posted:I'm in Chicago, so I don't know that the roads are all that great, but the road feel and stiff, agile suspension are rewarding to me in general, even at 25mph or going in a straight line down the interstate. Probably personal preference in my case. Your roads are garbage. Any place where you have a chance of breaking a rim in half due to potholes on a residential street is bad. That said you need a car nimble enough to avoid an 8 foot wide 3 foot deep hole in the middle of the interstate so the 911 is perfect. Someone post a picture of the guy jumping in a mud puddle in a parking lot and sinking to his neck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcgOWPOXxG4

That seems like a nice buy for a car you can drive without worry. (Of financial ruin not being stranded). You just want to slam down one of those stacks of 100s and ask for change don't you.

Pfff, take the passenger seat out. Does the 996 turn the passenger airbag off? You can always unplug it. Doesn't Shaq move the front seat to the back of every car he drives?

Why is it impossible to rebuild a porsche water cooled engine for less then $30k? Is it parts availability? Not a large enough market? I would think Dorman would be knocking one off by now. Put it in the help section of autozone. Can you help me get this 3.6 in my cart?

willroc7 posted:Anyone have thoughts on this? From what I've read the maintenance on these is pretty pricey but this one seems pretty well kept. Would I regret buying this? When was the bearing replaced? 100k miles ago? It seems like you can get 70k mile examples for that price. The early ones seem to run forever though. It is nicely optioned. I think people say get one with a hard top. Same as Miata advice. It will probably need coil packs etc.
