Like those Subaru WRX's, too. Good car if you (again) need real backseats. And, you can buy a brand new one for the price of a used M3.
I think the ideal situation is a 911 and an M3 or WRX. If you can afford it, of course.

Bottom line? I love 911's. Yeah, the clutch is heavy compared to a newer car. Yeah, the back seat is small (but my son loves them). Yeah, I'm going to sink some money into it. But the ride and the sound of the engine....air cooled good. And frankly, BMW's have always bugged me...or maybe it is their owners (not all..but many). I kinda gagged on the thought of owning a BMW. I've never been bothered by the thought of a 911 in the driveway.
This '88 looks sweet. A rare case of the car being much *better* than described on the phone. The owner is great. Pending a clean PPI she's mine. Life is good (so far).
