Porsche 996

Most of us don’t have the kind of cash a new Porsche 911 calls for nor do we have the ability to buy a 991 that, even though it’s a used model, will still call for a large sum of cash.  You could look to the old 997 model and still have to part ways with over $30,000 and some of the older 911 models that are basically junked out will cost you more than $34,000 just to tow them away.  This makes shopping for a great Porsche nearly an impossibility for those of us just looking for a fun sports  car for the weekends at a great price, unless of course you consider the 996.
