I would not buy a PDE car. They are serviced at my local dealership. The cars take some abuse at PDE. I've heard stories of relatively low mileage cars (996s) needing their wheel bearings replaced.
My gut reaction is that 997s (and 987s) aren't selling that great, at least not at my local dealership. I see the same cars sitting on that lot. Beautiful cars...I don't know why they aren't selling.

I don't know about new 997s, but used ones move quickly in my area, especially when compared to 996s. My sample size is tiny, but it seems like 993s are selling better than 996s. It's not that unusual to see the asking price of late model 993s being siignificantly higher than early model 996s. Maybe some may feel that its because of the 996's styling or because of the infamous RMS, but I believe it's simply good ole supply and demand. There was lots of disposable cash in the late '90s until 2001 because of the stock market bubble, and a lot of that money was spent on 996s. So now there is a glut of 996s on Dealers' lots.

You may be right about that fast. Either way there is definately a price disparity between 98's and 99's that cannot be explained any other way. I think the 996's are excellent cars, but the RMS stuff scares me too...
