If I get a 996, I could use it as my daily driver.. It's a pretty long model run... is there a year when they get better? (1997-2005). I'm probably not going to end up with the Porsche... too ...

Frameless Wiper Blades for 95-98 Porsche 911's
Written by: jeff618 on Feb 14, 2010 3:30:41 PM
The 1995-1998 911's have that 15" passenger side wiper blade which is fine until you try to upgrade to the newer-style, frameless beam blades. 15" beam blades virtually don't exist and 14" are difficult to find. The only option I've found is the 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blade' which comes in 14" (OE are 15" but you won't notice the 1/2" difference on each end). They also have the 18" for the ... Read More
Re: 1989 930 Cabriolet production???? [abaker1]

844 produced, 600 came to USA, in 1989.** Usually these cars are grouped together as the 1987--1989 with a total production of 2,002, since they are essentially the same car. Hard to say how many are left but I'd bet most of them. This isn't a car that is generally junked, so unless they've been demolished (and this does happen to this car) they are generally repaired/restored. The European models have ... Read More

I think a Porsche 993 (last of the air-cooled cars) from 1993 to 1997 (or early 1998), non-turbo, no AWD, no tiptronic, would be ideal. These are rugged dependable cars. Stay away from 90-92 C2s. Of course, you will have to shop for the cleanest, lowest mileage car you can find, with excellent service records. Any car you find that is a "mystery" as to who owned it, how it was ... Read More

Re: 996 newbie to be needs advice [bullethead]

Bullethead, I am in the same type of pondering! I thought that I will get myself a Targa, as it is not that common as the others, but then started reading about the 911-series, and have found that most Porsche enthusiasts think that the best one to have is a "plain" C2 with no additional stability controls, 4-wheel drives and such. Of course, there is a number of people who would ... Read More

I always liked Porsches and have had great respect for the marque since I was a little kid. I also find that they make some of the best engines ever...the 5-cylinder in my 1993 Volvo 850 was actually designed with Porsche input. However, as I got older and my knowledge about cars in general increased, I found that there are some Porsche models that I find less than desirable today. Here ... Read More
