Hi, I just moved to Los Angeles, and I don't have a car. I'm thinking about buying a Porsche 911- it would be the only car that I have.

What are the cons of doing so?

I currently drive a Vespa scooter, and I have been alright with not having a great amount of space.

Which generation of 911? I have a 993 and with the back seat down I can pick up someone at the airport.

Buy a Boxster between 90k to 110k miles with excellent records between $7k-$8k.

Best bang for the buck Porsche! The 911 is overrated in the family among Boxster , Cayman and 911's.

If you can spring $24k, get the cayman S , 2006-2008 with 60 k miles or less .

If I could do it again, I would keep my last Boxster and Aldo get the Cayman S.

Both of these handles way better than the 911 of the same model year.

The. 911's advantage is only the power. The Boxster and Cayman are better at everything else

I guess my statement is true

I was expecting to be schooled

^^^ I also would like recommendations on mechanics in the La SFV area... I know of one shop on Sherman way exit off 170 fwy... It's literally right off the fwy (east) approx 100yds, north side of street..
I can't think of the name of the place.. I do know the head guy there is dan.

Yeah, I would also like to know about anyone with anyone with a 964 C4 as their only car. I have been trolling these forums and dreaming about getting a Porsche for a while now. I live in NYC so no need for a car, but I'll be moving to Minneapolis soon, so looking to buy a C4 and potentially roll it year round. I know this is arguably taboo, but I want to buy something rough around the edges, yet reliable. Something to 'invest' money into and turn it into something great.
