I love 911s! Was a nice blue one at the local shell garage other night, similar in colour to dark blue mica.

Nothing to touch it on the road. You will find good photos and specs for 993 and 996 variants on : www.rennlist.com; www.flat-6.net; www.pistonheads.com.
I hope to upgrade my modified C4 to one of these later in the year.

996 Turbo introduced in 2000 (X) so still only 3 years old or so.
Starting to look good value now too - I saw a 3 year old one on a dealer forecourt for £65 recently & my local specialist said that they would this year be selling used 996 Turbo's for £58-60k which is tempting.....

So 5 years old you will be looking at a 993 model. A local specialist recently had 2 mint ones in with below average mileage - they went for £45k each I believe.
I looked at the blue one before I bought the 996 & doing my homework was put off somewhat by the running costs & interior.
Having said that they look the boll0cks & are a little quicker than the 996 turbo I believe.
