need help deciding between 996 and 997
Hi everyone..i am new around here. I have been reading around even though i jest recently joined, i hope you can drop me some comments, as i need help deciding a car. I have been looking around for my first porsche and i think i have found 2 models i like that suits my budget.
The main question is this. i have 2 choices, the 05 997 basic carrera or the 04 996 C4S(certified), both used. I like both, they look pretty much the same, except the C4S is usually loaded. And since the new model came out. Here's what I think. I think the C4S took the depreciation already when the 997 came out so i wont lose as much money if i decide to sell it afterwards.
I currently live in the midwest, so very snowy. But that is not the main concern as there is a good chance i will move somewhere warmer at the end of the year. The main reason i wanted the C4S is the beautiful body kits, the turbo look and all. Can those of you that has ever owned or driven either one help me decide.
Last thing i want to ask is about service and maintanance.
- how frequent is the service? and how much for a scheduled service?
- what are the most common problems on either? clutch? and how much?
- I read a lot of people mentioned RMS, can anyone tell me what they actually mean, are they covered by warranty?
Thanks everyone.
