Nice car, GLWA.

Out of curiosity, why are you opting for a 996 C4S over 6TT, with all the "issues" those engines have? When I was searching, a 6TT was not on my radar but I realized I could be an IMS/bore score away from spending the same amount or more than a 6TT, so I moved the budget. Best decision I made.

The exact reason I moved to a 6TT from a C4S...

GLWA though, that car is beautiful!

IPMAN good question and my reasons works for me. I commute only 5 miles to work and no need for a Turbo. Thanks to the internet and the IMSB information the price for a good C4S is less than a Camary and even lower than the 1st year Depreciation on a 2018 Porsche Turbo. When I was looking it was around 15k less than a comparable Turbo. Almost the cost of a new engine! I leave the car on the Street with no cover day and night, it does not have the wow factor of the Turbo. I could get into a debate about IMSB/Bore Score, but I will leave the for the experts and just enjoy the drive.

Well done buddy! I think these days $68.5k is all the money even for a pristine cream puff like yours, now that CPO 15k mile 2017 991.2s sell in the low 70s. Not Mezger engines, etc. but still highly capable turbocharged cars and with a warranty.

It is a double edge sword. I am happy about the money and sellers remorse is sinking in. Happy Holidays!
