My 944 was my first car at 21. I really wanted the New Boxster when it came out in 97 but settled for the older 944 until I bought a boxster at 27. I hope to get a 997 in 4 years or so.

I got my first Porsche (a 911T) when I was 17. It was a birthday present from my parents.

Rivarama,
The 4S is an excellent choice! One of the most sought after 911's outside of the turbo. 2003 is one of my favorite 996 years! You get the 3rd radiator, bigger brakes, lowered suspension, great looks. The interior is really nice.
I paid $42k for my 2004.5 with 65k miles on it (private party), so your price is reasonable.
Personally, I think the styling of the 997 has lost something.

45 for my 968 cab, and 47 for my 911 C4 cab. I never considered myself to be a 'senior' member of this forum until this thread.

Nearly pulled the trigger at 29, bought something else... regretted the decision and bought the porker 8 months later at 30.
