I'm Mighty Shocked: 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 2

Who says a 911 is a rich man's car? Well...the mechanic might think so...but if you've got another car for when the 911 is getting its interplanetary marmon spindle (IMS...just google 996 IMS and read all about it) replaced then the 996 is a car you could drive every other day of the year without needing a second job or a rich daddy.  Find this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 offered for $10,500 in Paradise Valley, AZ via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

An aircooled Porsche 911 will turn heads and raise eyebrows where ever you take it, so why not get a nice one that will be fun to drive?  The 964 generation bridges the gap between the earlier cantankerous and slow 911 "classic" and the uber-expensive 993 in terms of price, performance and comfort.  Find this 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 964 for sale in Sugar Land, TX for $17,500 via pelicanparts forums.  Tip from RJC.

9 of 50: Tina: 1999 Porsche 911, 996 C2

The 996 generation of 911 was introduced in 1999 with much fanfare, ballyhooing, havering and caterwauling.  Whenever a new generation of 911 is introduced the weenies come out of the woodwork and complain about how soft and lame the new generation is...except this time they were correct.  But screw all those negative Nancys and their complaints of "its not noisy enough" or "the rear main seal always leaks oil on my baby puma skin driving shoes" and "the engine cannot be rebuilt and needs to be replaced for the cost of a kidney"...because for the price of a good 993 you can get two good 996s and they are faster, more comfortable and better cars...for the most part.  Find this 1999 Porsche 911 996 C2 for sale in Buffalo, NY for $24,900 asking via pelicanparts.com forums.
