Talking Looks like I will be joining the ranks soon

I have been a long time lurker and occasional and hopefully with a little luck I will be a first time 911 owner. It took me a while to win over my wife because we have had a stalemate for the past to years. I wanted a 911 which she thinks is a waste of money and she wanted another Dachshund which I said was unnecessary since we already have two.

Today she found a rescue Dachshund that she fell in love with. She begged and begged me for it and I told her to go ahead but I will be putting a nice, shiny 911 in the garage. She said "fine I just love this dog you do whatever you want."

I told her the little Dachshunds will fit very nicely in the back seats of the 911

So now I have some research cut out for me. I am not sure if I want to purchase a 3.2 or the 964. I like the styling of the 993 but it might be a little overkill for a weekend driver.

Ah, the family trade.

You now have a free pass to buy what ever you want. Go for it.

Good negotiating! I notice that you are local, so please feel free to call or stop by if we can assist you as you venture through the fun process of picking a Porsche!

Yeah I must say the rescue dog is great so far. I need to strike while the iron is hot before the wife gets amnesia on the deal.

Franz I will for sure look you up since you are local. Who would you recommend for a PPI? I used Auto Europe when I bought a BMW a few years back and they did a fine job. They also handle Porsche but I am not sure if that is their specialty.
