Sacrifice a beater to the snow Gods, not a 911.Try buying a 911 windshield sometime. You might drive a C4S in the winter, but you won't drive it long, I promise.
I remember a guy with a beautiful 993 C4S back when I was a kid. Jet black, skis on top every day driving up to the mountain. He probably needed a full respray after 2 years. Poor car! This is exactly why I have a 1st-gen Tacoma. Ironically, the paint is in great shape, with only a few rock chips. Must have something to do with the toxic materials in older paint.

My wife is from the Michigan, I am from Texas. She said we don’t get snow here is Texas. I said nu-uh wife yes we do. And the she said no we don’t. And then it snowed a lot and she said it does snow here....and I won

A 996 Carrera 4 would make a nice winter beater.

Well the search may be over. I had a car checked out in California yesterday and today. Now I just am going to fly out there and check it out in person. If all checks out I will drive it back to Texas. If not I will visit friends for the weekend and fly home. Wish me luck.

Good luck with the car OP! Tell us how it goes.

Regarding the 997 prices, I saw this small article in the latest issue of Total 911 magazine:

Using the term bloated in the article...will make our 991 brothers a bit upset. Sort of like the wife or GF asking...does this dress make me look fat?

Great. Thanks for posting. If enough people read it my current car may turn into an investment or at least a non depreciating asset.

I think the GTS is already at the non-depreciating level. Even my lowly .2 Carrera seems to be holding pretty strong.

A recap of the Total 911 article on the rarest 997 (or most collectible)


Sport Classic
GT2
GT3RS4.0
Spyder

But also
Turbo S (relatively few made, say compared to the 991 numbers)
And GTS

that video really made me start doing some more research, I think now we can all justify the Turbo S purchase as an investment rather than a luxury!

Love my 997.2 but debating selling to help finance a new 991.2 GT3 Touring. Oh the decisions!
