I bought a 997 today.
I was complaining about $48,000. in available options and the mandatory telephone and computer screen, but I had not yet seen the car, so I finally went to the dealer today. Within a half hour I bought a Silver 997 with sport seats, 19" wheels, bi-xenons, and a few other options. I was surprised that they had a car (only one), so I took it.
Yes, the S is better and I might want other options, but this will be my daily driver and I want to keep the price reasonable.
Frankly, I have never understood the Porsche mystique. I've always been a Ferrari fan. I have a 360 Modena and it is close to perfection. (The new F430 doesn't offer navigation or a phone .) Ferraris and Porsches could not be more different. Like Heidi Kulm and Meg Ryan. They're different.
Nonetheless, I've taken the plunge. I hope I love the 911 like you guys do.
By the way, I waited two years, seven months for my 360. I'm very surprised I can buy a new model 2005 911 in September 2004. I hope the car does well here.
P.S. This is a great site--thanks.
