Engine failures.......no spare tire........unprotected a/c condensor in the front.......

Am I missing anything else?

Why don't these things worry me when I'm driving?

 

Why should they? How can you think of failures when you're smiling like a Cheshire Cat?

 

The only thing I ever worry about with this car is getting too many speeding tickets. I've waited a long time for Porsche to build a 911 that looks and runs like the 997S and I'll keep mine for a long time.

Since anyone who has one already owns one of the strongest anti-depressants on the face of the earth, if you're still depressed after driving this car, get some medical help.

 

OK guys , tried to be civil for the most part, initial post was actually a real concern, but its irrelevent, forums are always rather interesting, one has no idea who you are talking to and or background or issues. For the guys that were were normal thanks, For all the A-Holes , grow up and get a life, but continue to flame as I would expect you to, don't dissapoint your fellow flamers, but I won't be reading it anyway, rather go out drive and have some fun today. Think the best anti-depressent is to cancel my membership vs taking meds

I want to say it was about $3K - bumper to bumper. It was cheaper than the extended warranty on my S4!!

 

Chill out, Mr. Rice. You gotta expect some people to react this way if you infer anything negative about Porsche on a Porsche enthusiast site.

 

I paid $1650 for 7/ 70,000 with $100 deductible. I knew I won't drive the car that much so I selected the 70,000miles. My wife's MB R500 on the other hand cost over $3.5K for the same coverage.

 

Your initial post was a troll-like provocation and nothing else. Don't blame us for pointing out that you were making false statements in that post. Those false statements created the conflict.

And grow up, man, quit your childish behavior; your 44 posts so far have not provided any value to this forum. So quit whining and start contributing.

 

Ok this thread is almost dead. But, here is my two cents: I have had my 997 for 6 months and have driven it 6000 miles as a daily driver. The car has been and is perfect. Zero issues.

To those who say "they don't build em like they used to", I say "Thank God for that." My air conditioner works and cross winds do not blow me all over the freeway. If you like the older 911's, then go out and buy a restored early seventies model for about $45k. They are great cars but you will not want to drive it everyday.

Why did we spend gobs of money on our new 911's? The car has character and an increbile history. Last but not least, the 911 is super reliable and requires very little maintenance. Which other super cars have 20,000 mile service intervals?

 

a 997, while a nice production sports/GT car, is not in the category of a "super car."

 

I've looked at 2 to buy in the last 4 months....

1) An '03 red/tan targa w/ 22k mi. Had engine replaced at 17k miles.

2) An '06 red/tan "S" with 3500 mi. since new. Had engine replaced already.

I see this as both...pathetic, AND, they're still fun cars that I still want.

 

Jerry, you simply need three nights in Amsterdam. Get laid over and over again while enjoying the lightness of spirit brought on by eating a sandwich bag full of 'shrooms.

Take three hookers and call me in the morning.

 

Amen to that

 

Dudes , I paid my $32 , then cancelled it, to many immature morons here, especially " malammik" who is by far the most immature P car owner on the board, but his simpleton brain is good for comic relief.

Right now I'm in Asia, LBFM's everywhere. you can have Amsterdam. If you have to ask what an LBFM is, you have yet to live, and need to get your pipes cleaned.

 

enjoy the trannies
