Someone help talk me into or out of this, GT4 Options

Check this GT4 out

I'm agonisng over whether to go for it or not. I've just finished paying off my mortgage but still have a couple of smaller debts I was intending to clean up before buying a new toy (I was actually thinking of going for a older model 911 964 in 6 months to a years time). Then I saw this and kind of wished I hadn't because I doubt a better one will come along again any time soon.

If I did decide to get it, I'd probably keep my current GT4 as a work-horse (will have to live outside)

Thoughts?

ps. can't view the car because it's out of town, but looks like a pretty accurate representation of what it is.

Hi all.

I'm of the opinion that if you are an entusiast of this model of car then this is not overpriced (at 15k) especially given all the spare parts (new or otherwise) and the fact that no more are coming in to the country. The lowdown on the parts is that they mostly are new, and were purchased by the first owner because he got a great deal from Toyota Japan who were clearing stock.

btw I'm pretty certain that red 96 is actually a 94 and seems identical in specification to my current GT4.

And yeah, I am definately buying this car and and very excited about. The seller wasn't actually that keen on waiting too long for me to sell my 94 so I'm sucking it up and paying him the full amount up front. Now that I've decided to go that route I'm not actually sure I'll even will sell my 94. I can use it as my work-horse and keep the 97 as mint as possible -however, as a work horse I'd prefer something that drank less gas, so I probably will move it, just not in any big hurry.

What I don't really like is owning 3 cars -I only have a 2 car garage so my 94 is now at the bottom of the pecking order and will be without a roof over its head.

Confirmed it is a 94
