Had my targa for just over 3 years, and tomorrow sees it being traded in. It's been a privilege owning a motoring air cooled icon, and have loved the experience. The noise, steering & handling have been a joy. Not sure I could say the same about some of the bills though!
I'm staying in the Porsche family, but have gone to the dark side. I've bought a kettle. It's not a bad one though as it's a 996T, 2002, with just 26k on the clock (compared with 150k on the targa). It's also got a tubi exhaust, so sounds pretty good too.
Don't worry though, I'll still wave at 964's!

Good luck with your purchase, show us some pics of the 996 too when its ready.

you will like the turbo
you will not like the cost to fix it
Enjoy the new ride. Its a whole different experience

Didn't like the cost fixing the 964, and it needs quite a bit more spending on it. Bodywork, engine rebuild, etc.
Will miss the marine blue colour and heated sports seats (still better than any modern 911) though.

Knock on wood you won't discover the 996 ver$ion of the bill$..

Good luck. Post pictures!
