Seems like the 02-03 Carreras will be the last to be loved (by the market.)

$25k may not be big money, but that was likely an $18k car 4-5 years ago.

Yeah that's all true I just get the feeling that 02-03 Carreras seem to be commanding the lowest prices of all the coupes.

I am one of the 10 and would never go 3 spoke.

You need to see the pics. Car was like it when I bought it, regarding fraud I’m as Crystal as water. Been offered as high as $3k for the 408s. They are staying with the car.

I have a 4 spoke on my 2001.

I still have a 4-spoke steering wheel on my 2000 C2. If it was good enough for the vaunted 993 GT2 then it is certainly good enough for my "red-headed stepchild" of the 911 family.

Appreciate everyone chiming in on their 4 spokes, so that makes us about 5 of the 10 still on the road, we'll have to wait for the others to straggle in.

I still have mine but I've got a shelf full of 3 spokes (Nephrite green Tip, Savannah Beige manual and a black tip)

The feeling in your hand is very noticeable. I doubt you get a 4 spoke redone for less than just buying a three spoke with an airbag.
