i am buying a 996 tommorrow and I am totally stumped between a ...
Y reg C2 coupe with,aerokit, psm, gt3 wheels. In silver, y reg, 2k miles and as new condition.
or, same price
X Reg, C2 convertable, lapis blue, turbo wheels. x reg, 5.5k miles
What would you go for of the 2?? I am stumped i think the coupe looks better with the kit, but the way the cabrio hood opens from the key fob is a sight to behold - and it would be nice to have wind in the hair

i will write something for you if you desire? in short wonderful car, but a bit like a tvr only ten times as expensive when anything happens.
i got offered fairly close to what i paid for it and basically decided to use the money to buy a 6 month old 996 - to remove the risk element of running the fezza and to get something i can use every day.
so is it cab 996 or coupe 996 ted??

yep agree that silver is fairly common but this one looks a bit different.
i had a red one last time which i was not keen on when i bought it, but it got a lot of positive comments.
its a personal thing but i personally would only have a coupe with 18" wheels and an aerokit, i think it can look a bit plain without

Mmmm i fail to get the "cabs are for girls" theory myself.... I'd hardly call a Griff a "girls car" because it's a cabriolet....
I would go for the cabriolet and fit a bodykit to that if you desire, but I don't like the bodykit anyway, it looks crass and max power...
At least with the cab you get the best of both worlds. Hard and soft top....

Benno, go for the cab if you get both hard and soft tops. At least you've got the best of both worlds, and I do think the 996 looks wonderful with a hard top on it (somehow a HT Boxster doesn't cut it with me - sorry Don !)
The only downsides I can see you having are:
1) Both only have the 3.4 engine and not the 3.6;
2) Placcy window on the Cab (I think) - liveable with - the Boxxster's not bad at all, but I wonder if you could retro fit a 2001 hood with a glass window ?
All MHO, but whatever you go for, you lucky lucky lucky bugger. And I'm looking forward to the write up on the 456.
All the best,
Greg

The coupe looks like the dog's pods.
Porsche cabrios always look a bit lame (apart from that new GT thingammyjig). Shades of hairdresser/posey yuppie I suppose. Griffs escape because they have an overtly sporting character, rather than an overtly luxurious one.
Get the coupe Bennno - good to have you back in the Porsche fold... soon ;-)
