So I finally found the right car at the right place at the right time. It's a 2003 991 C2 with 63k miles. Needs IMS/RMS (next year) for my peace of mind, but I am enjoying the hell out of the car now. It is great to drive. My previous performance car was a 2011 M3 Comp. Great car, but there is something special about a 911. It's not as fast probably as the M3, but I enjoy driving it sooo much more. I think I got a smokin' deal on it (15.5K) and it's a two owner California/Oregon/Washington car. No leaks or ticking at idle so far. Pulls hard and is punchy when I'm on the backroads in North Carolina. Love it.

I was planning on getting a 991.2 TTS in couple of years, but I'm so happy and satisfied with this 911, that I'm considering either delaying that or even just forgetting about it. I have so much fun in this thing that I'm thinking do I really need 200HP + more? I guess I'll really make that decision in a couple of years. But that's how good I think the 996 is to me - it's got me reconsidering getting a 991.2!!!

Enjoy! Eventually, you'll lust after the additional horsepower.

Congrats on the new 911. My first 911 was a 2003 C2 in Midnight Blue Metallic. Great car and tons of fun. You will enjoy it!

Great looking 996. After driving my stock 03 4s for few months, and initially thinking I really need more Hp from a 991 or 996 turbo, I now realize I can have so much fun in the “low” Hp 996. More Hp would only get me in trouble.

Congrats! I picked up an 03 Midnight Blue Targa back in December. Couldn't be happier. Don't delay too much on the IMS/RMS. Also have the AOS checked out or replaced. This seems to be the hot topic these days. I keep moving up the horsepower chain myself. I thought the Targa was pretty fast compared to the VW R32 I was driving. After a few months, I would like some additional HP. Although the more I drive it, and learn the best power curve to drive in, its plenty fast to get you in trouble. I had picked this up as a stepping stone 911 with intentions of upgrading. I think I'll just drive this for a few years before I make that decision.

The members here are a great resource. I was warned about the snobby Porsche forum folks. The opposite has been my experience. What a great group of helpful knowledgeable people.

Well, you ARE in the 996 forum...

I agree. Now, pulling away from the stoplight, I’m thinking “is this it?”. Horsepower or firepower, you ALWAYS want more.

Seems like a really good deal to me. You see cars with a lot more mileage in that price range.

Great price, low miles...what's not to love?

Cuda911

Wow... 15.5k for that? Great find!

Wow
What a deal, that car could have pulled $24k
Congrats, nice car

Congrats! Just bought a speed yellow 03 myself. Got to take it out for a 1200 mile drive over the past 4 days. What a blast. Had more miles at 99k but the IMS and oil separator together with other items were all done. Well maintained and solid. ENJOY! I have had BMW's for many years but this is a fun change of pace.

Out of curiosity if you don't mind me asking, what is the IMS/RMS service you're having done going to run you?

Also could always purchase a supercharger kit for it if the need for more presents itself.
