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.

Hi Rennlisters,
Been lurking for a bit whilst looking for the right car, and lovin' the learnin' from the forum. Recently pulled the trigger on a CPO'd '02 Targa as some of the price points on used 996s represent unbelievable deals. Per newb etiquette, postin' some pics of the ride!
Cheers!

I like this link the best since it looks in the pictures like it is my color, Meridian Metallic Silver.
And yeah, mine is a 2003 as well.
Thanks for the warm welcome, fantastic peeps on this website!
The targa is great given the weather in SoCal, but the structural rigidity is nowhere near a coupe.
Like you've mentioned, the hatchback is a fantastic feature and great for hauling things from the grocery store.
love the targa look...let us know how (if there is any) heat problem is...I have a panoramic sunroof in my x5...and it is way to hot during the summer, but great the rest of the year (when the roof is open ofcourse)
Can definitely get warm in the summer w/o the sunshade, and with or without the roof open. But, with the sunshade deployed the majority of the rays do get blocked, and it's absolutely tolerable... did the drive to Vegas a few weeks ago, up to 110F in NV at the time, stayed crisp and cool inside with the A/C!
good thing is that it is only super hot for a couple of months the rest of the year...you will enjoy the "view".....and the targa is perfect in the evenings, when a cab (like I have) is to cold and windy.
I've had my TARGA for 3.5 years now, 54K miles and still loving it. With the Aero Kit, She looks great. Good Luck,
P.S. Try driving in light rain with the top open.... no rain enters, it is a trip, my kiddies love it and ligthin storm are light a disco club... AWESOME. enjoy...
