I am looking at purchasing a 1st generation 997 manual. I don't know enough to care about 2005, 2006, or 2007 etc. I just want one of the first generations because I know they are rougher than the later generations.

The one I have located has 32k and is a 2005. Are these cars really built to last or should I be extremely concerned about the 2005 factor. I mean the interior is absolutely immaculate.

Me: I have always owned M3s. Presently I have a 2008 M3 with the naturally aspirated V8 pushing 415 horses. Any thoughts, concerns, things to watch out for, or maintenance that I should look for would be greatly appreciated.
