Porsche 996 Cabrio
« on: October 23, 2017, 12:10:00 pm »
My cousin is hunting for a 996 Turbo Carbio - preferably 2004.  If anyone has any good leads on one in mint condition at a good price, post it here or PM me!

Mercy buckets!
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

Is he looking down in the States as well? Far more supply down there of course, and if no solid leads appear, that could be a good option.

Probably stick.  He used to have a 964.  I'll check again.

Well, he got a 2004 996 Turbo Cabrio in South Carolina.  He flies to SC tomorrow to get it.  Says he can't wait for the road-trip back to Houston.

Nice! Probably a good time to get into a 996 Turbo. I think these are pretty much fully depreciated at this point.
