Looking to purchase, but never have driven (Portland)
Hello all,
Just thought I would throw this out there to see if anybody would be willing to accommodate. I am in the market for a 996 and have never driven one. I would like to get an idea what a good one would feel like to drive as I go through the process of purchasing one of my own (yes I would get a PPI). I live in a pretty rural area, so there isn't a lot of options, as there are no used car dealers in the area (not really high on my list to go to a used car dealer). I am about an hour outside of Portland, OR in the gorge and am hopeful to find a volunteer that would be willing to let me drive theirs. I will be in the Portland metro area on Thursday the 22nd and possibly the 23rd of October. I know this is a long shot, but all of you have been pretty helpful so far so thought I would take a wild stab in the dark on this one.
Thank you,
Scott

Hello Tommy, all good questions. I am interested in mostly a stock vehicle with a 6spd. and a non-turbo. So C2 or a C4S if possible. I understand that a 20 year old vehicle will have its quirks and each vehicle is different based off previous ownership and how the car was maintained. I really just want to get a feel of what a decent one would feel like, and what to expect when I go through the buying process. I hope this helps answer your question and thanks again!

Thank you sir! Duly noted and I will add this over there. Thought giving it a shot a little more local first would give me a better shot.
