I love the wide wingless look, but I am not sure I can live with a yellow car daily.

another thread about another car, a Jesal you are not.

Seriously, it looks nice, is a fair deal, but is probably a bit low for a DD up here.

The car looks like sex, but personally I wish those BBS wheels were black, and the rear wheel is too wide for that tire.

Mid to high 40's doesn't seem out of line for that car, but it will have a limited audience when its time to resell. The '02+ cars are past all that rear main seal replacement silliness.

But a car that low with that kind of front splitter in NY?

Brave.

Nice 4S but it wouldn't make sense to daily drive it.

with the way that car looks, being yellow and wingless, i can't help but think it'd look a lot better with the concave black techart 5-spoke wheels. that is a sick porsche though.

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't venture a highly modded Porsche in the winter as a daily. If the car would've been stock than yes, but just looking at the (sexy) front end, hell no.

But the car looks so damn good...

What does that mean? Mortgage business is fine here in Charlotte. Housing market is still fairly strong as well.

Maybe it's just as good for Phil as it is here...

Its insane! I can not process FHA loans fast enough. Alot of refinancing going on since people need money. Residential purchases are down only like 7%, but for me commercial sales are up so business as usual.

Oh and water-s...you are a retard!

Wow the car looks amazing but for a daily driver? To be honest that is one of the hottest Carrera's I have seen.

The only thing I don't like about the car is the front, how difficult (expensive) is it to do a 997 headlight conversion? But of course, definitley not a deal breaker.

the banks around here aren't cutting loans for shit. everyone defaulting on loans so they(the banks or credit unions) aren't cutting loans. so the banks have all these repoed properties that they loaned out money to greater than what it's worth. banks around here are happy to get pay off on loan. i highly doubt if they'll get pay off on most loans but that's part of this whole housing meltdown.

literally, one of the nicest 4s' ive seen. the black airdams in the techart go REALLY well with the yellow. agreed that black wheels would have been a better choice to compliment the color scheme.

love the whole, "f* everyone, i dont need a wing on my porsche" look!

Looks sweet. Now, ditch the crap on the windshield and it will look better. The deal sounds fair, as it looks to have been well taken care of.

But, as a DD. Near the Adirondacks? Hell no. I say you buy it as a "no snow on the ground DD" (for the salt and rocks on the road), then get something you can beat up in the winter.

agreed. but the sight of a "beater" next to a porsche 4S in your garage would have you scratching your head as to the way you spend $$.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to drive that beast every freaking sec. Heck, I will even drive to pick up my mail from my mailbox. I'm just saying that I would be scared to drive that as daily.

More driving= higher mileage= more money on maintances fee, depreciation on car value, etc.
