Exactly why a classic is perfect. You get a great Porsche without looking pretentious in the early 20's.

 

My only concern is the true daily drivability of the car. I don't need or want a concours car - I want something that I can drive everyday without having to worry about huge, unexpected repair bills. I drive short distances during the week - a mile or two of stop-go at a time, with longer trips on the weekends, so I'm concerned about the engine's oil consumption, among other things.

Any have personal experience?

 

Right. I think 993 says "enthusiast" without the likelihood of coming across as just some rich douche, which 997/991 could depending on the driver.

 

Precisely. As great as dailying a 997 would be, you would absolutely absolutely get comments and some states that weren't wanted just for the fact that your young and have that car. You get the 993, those are gone.

 

well,..fvck the comments..

with a 993 you`d get comments as well,for sure

like...ah,..nice car,is it your uncles/dads ride? etc

oh and concerning the V8 M3 never becoming a classic

I guess we should talk about that in 2020 again when the emmys have 4 Cylinder tri turbo engines with hybrid technology on board and a continuous variable gearbox plus some speakers to make up the good ol V8 sound

 

I should neg you for saying all that! I hope we never reach that point, although I realize we just may and it will be a sad time for all of the auto world.

 

Honestly fvck what everyone thinks if you get a 997 ask a 20 something guy that actually drives his like he stole it. Let em talk you'll never hear them over the sound of that metzger GT3 beast!

 

Comments? In a 73 911 I get those comments, really doesn't matter what year porsche, or any really nice car. You'll get The comments.

As long as you're not a prick, don't worry about comments.

 

This

 

What about a '01-'02 BMW Z3 M Coupe? It's got the rarity, fun factor, and can definitely be driven reliably every day. The looks may not be for everyone but it's definitely a special car and with only 700 built, you'll have no problem selling it for at least what you paid for it down the road.

Just something to think about...
