996 buying guide?
Hey guys,
My brother is considering buying his first Porsche 911. He's on a budget that I think will keep him in the 996 domain. With that said what would you suggest for a "buying guide" for the 996? Are there any publications or websites that might help?
Thanks in advance...

There is a maket update for the 996 & boxster. They publish the latest pricing estimates and there is some real good info on the the different years.
If it's the 996 he wants it's the only source you will need.

I have found a book from Amazon: Porsche 911 Carrera, Turbo and GT (996) the Ultimate Buyer's Guide. The authors are Grant Neal and Peter Morgan. It was around $25 and is about 70 pages long. It is a helpful guide to keep with you as you look for the perfect car. I have re-referenced mine quite a bit.

Buy the newest Porsche you can afford. When you think afford, also keep in mind perhaps purchasing an extended warranty and the high priced maintenance and expensive short lived tires.
