Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

< Sigh > My 2004 C2 is on Autotrader. < heavy breathing is causing the monitor to fog up! >
Just to clarify, it is NOT listed by me and I have no affiiation with the seller.
Tim's former 996
Since my car "might" be going to my daughter (check out the "Kaboom" thread for specifics) I thought I would check out 2002 - 2004 Porsches available in the Dallas area. That's how I found it.
This is one time when you have to think... Was it meant to be... me and my car together again???
DUDE, its beautiful, really... and priced very good (opinion)... I will spot you 5 yards... grab the ball and run for the in zone!!
(IMHO)

Tim, who knows the story, it is what it is and I'm sure someone will be VERY happy with it.
No reason to look back, NEVER look back, ONLY look forward.
For sure, I leased a car once and had a buy out of about $10k... I bought it straight from the lease co w/o turning it in for $7k, they really didnt want it back... with this soft market, you might have some leverage too.. plus you know the car (except for a little while while it was on tour w/o you)

Absolutely! Nothing more I'd like to see than Tim back in that C2! It's in perfect shape. Unlike some others of us who lease cars, Tim actually really took great care of his. Deckman, I'd love to see what his car went for wholesale. Right now, I'll bet that car can be bought for very close to selling price at auction.
Really good point, although I still say look forward and not back.
Going back to the old girlfriend always seems like a great idea at the time....safe, easy, comfortable. You know what turns her on and off, her good and bad, all her quirks etc...
But in the end it never works and you should have just let her go and move on.
Tim - You were so bummed when you had to let it go, I say get her back! Unlike an old girlfriend, the Porsche never loses it's good looks! Your favorite color, your care, your car! Get it!
Tim: I know how much time, effort, and money you put into her...and I remember how you tried to sell her to another forum member rather than turn her back in....but I think that you should move on to another flavor. I started out with the same car as you recall, lost her to a fire....and used the opportunity to move on to another level. I believe that if you do decide to get another Porsche, you probably are entertaining the prospect of something a little different.....yes/no???
Whatever you decide...the best of luck to you....I've enjoyed bantering with you on the forum.
Chuck
Guys,
Thanks for all of the words of encouragement and the best wishes. I really do appreciate it!
Chuck,
I am thinking the same thing. When/if I get back into another Porsche it will probably be a 997.
I just hope that there are some still around in 2028, which is probably when I will be able to afford one. :sur: For the time being, I think I am stuck with my POS Honda Accord.
