personally though, I'd go for something more like this or even this

but that's just me, I like stupid fast cars.

 

oops didn't see that one was based on an 82, that's kinda lame, but maybe not if it was all done right.

 

dude, i dont think the 911 is practical.....plus they r too expensive to fix

 

that's why you need to find a good porsche mechanic. They are a little more expensive to fix, but if you find the right mechanic, he will not overcharge you, he will tell you how to keep it on the road, and it won't be that bad.

I remember reading a R&T story about a club of 911 owners who had 911s that all had over 300k miles, some as many as 800k miles and never had more than a valve adjustment. SO if you take care of them, they will last. They are very well engineered cars.

Ok, so maybe that's impractical, then what does your dad REALLY want?

like if he had the 35k to buy any car he wanted, used or new, what would it be?

 

sorry brian, but I just dont think he wants a porsche......if he did have 35k, he would save some more & get the new shelby cobra....he is actually considering that & maybe an 04 cobra

 

So whats new? Did he find anything yet. Anxious to hear!!

 

whats his budget too?

 

no we aren't planning to buy until around fall...we need to sell our towncar before we buy anything...i'd say the absolute max is between 35 & 40, but then he coudn't buy until next year, cuz he'd have to save up alot

 

get a used 03 cobra, buy a kb and be happy

 

well my dad has made a final choice, he is gonna wait for the 07 cobra POSITIVELY....we are looking to get on a waiting list, if anyone could help find one, it would be much appreciated

 

got to a svt dealer and get on the list

 

can u give me a good svt dealer?

 

Woody Anderson

 

cool we r close to them, could we go there & order one, say within the next few months? we were gonna use them anyway

 

Better order one fast! From what I hear they will be gone very quickly! Plus you don't want to have to get one from a lot where they're gonna charge you 10k over msrp!

Good Luck!

 

I think they will be in high demand, but they will be around alot because like the other cobras, as many as are wanted will be built.

 

i think he wants red w/ white stripes or blue w/ white stripes....what would the price be if we ordered one this early...we might no be able to do it if its over 40-45k...

 

forget it, the wait would be so long, i would just go strait for a 03 cobra, then u would have money left for mods

-i am guessing the price would be 53k or so (dealer mark-ups would be insane)

 

Unfortunatley I feel it will be over 45k. The markup was substantial on the terminators. They were on lots when they first came out for about 39k. The starting price I believe (what I heard from the Ford rep at the NYIAS) was 40-45k with possible (definite in my opinion) markup of 5 to 8K. Maybe wait and see if they come out with California Special or Mach 1 in the next couple of years. Just an idea.
