Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

About a year ago I sold my P-Car and switched back to M3-Conv. Soon enough I found out life was not the same without my P-Car, so I am actively searching for another 911 and selling my 2005-M3. Here are the current choices: 2004 Carrera 4s with 32k miles (around $57k with 2 years of CPO), 2005 C2 (around 5$9k), 2003 Carrera 4s with 14k miles (around $45k) or 2003 Carrera C2 with 43k miles for $36k). Recommendations please..? thanks in advance....

POST 2Original post

I bought my 02 c4s for more than the 2003 you mentioned - and it had 41k miles. Personally, I'd get a 996 C4S before base 997.

Don't ask us. Trust your own judgment. Good luck...and welcome back to the world of Porsches!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys... I got my eyes set on the 03 C4s... only thing it is Tiptronic... I am not a fan of Tip... but it's got a sweet PSE (I wont need to listen to music anymore when I'm driving... just the sweet sound of PSE..)...

Agree with the PSE - I was just thinking today what a waste it is to have the BOSE upgrade, I mean really - I rarely turn it on and when I do it is for just a few minutes, I'd rather listen to and move to the tunes of the PSE.

POST 7Original post

don't get the tip if you have doubt. PSE is a easy mod. good luck

POST 8Original post

yeah... but an expensive mod... full install at a dealer $2700+

POST 9Original post

I agree...while the '03 C4S is a great deal, it's only that cheap b/c of the tip...DO NOT GET THE TIP! You will regret it if you have doubts now. You will lose the biggest aspect of the car if you are thinking of the manual. J

POST 10Original post

get a tip and drink your Latte while your driving...the tip needs to get used to, but shifting gears constantly is soooooo last century!!! I would get the newest P I could afford.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is turning out to be a good discussion about Tip vs Manual... I am trying to get myself to like Tip again... The Porsche 4s Look + PSE is cathing my eye... love that sweet sound.. not that I can rev it much with the Tip.. I never got used to Tiptronic before...

POST 12Original post

Completely agree on the tip issue. There's no substitute for shifting a 911. Hmmmm, I have a perfect '04 C4S with 6MT and now reading 2900 miles. I'd drive her more, but the damn TT roadster sure is fun with the top down! Not looking to sell the Porsche, but wonder what it would fetch.

POST 14Original post

Leave the tip for the Prius. Drive a Porsche like its stolen. In the heat of the moment how do you hit a rev limiter on a tip?
