Friends,

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (1999) $19000
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/cto/5653717285.html

1999 Red 911 $17500
http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/5626226309.html

I have set my eyes on these 2. Not sure whether I want the lower milage C2 or the higher milage C4. Plus the C4's interior and exterior is more worn. And the C4 will end up costing me more even with higher milage (based on the asking price).

Have looked at both (neither is perfect cosmetically) not done a ppi yet on either but want to start first with a ppi on the one I like more.

What would you choose?

Thanks

The C2 looks like a much better deal. Lower mileage and price, what's not to love?

I am leaning towards it as well. I have a feeling that a c4 owner is flexible on price but those miles hmm. Not sure if the awd is worth all those miles.

What do the seats look like under those covers on the C2?

Yeah C2. You can probably get it for less, too.

Thanks friends. On to ppi, let's see what that says and then hopefully can get this down by a little bit. Can't wait to get the car. My first manual.

And I have a 2015 wrx for snow and rain so awd is not a must.

When in doubt, get the red one. The extra 25 hp guards red horsepower pack is a nice bonus.

While it's convenient the C2 pics exclude the main wear point (driver left side), the C2 has my vote for car quality. Both are 99s so it's really about the ownership/maintenance trail, interior quality and AWD or no.

Such a good price for that quality a C2! GL with your choice

fwiw I'm biased towards blue normally. The red car just seems better overall

I'll probably get stoned for saying this, but I wanted a C2 because I love the relationship you make with the car when it comes to keeping the rear end in the rear.
