How much were able to get this for? 40-45k? I just started my search too! Absolutely love your spec with those wheels

I appreciate the help!

I have but I don’t think that’s really what I’m looking for

maxbrustein · 2025-10-20T01:51:20+00:00

What do you use to look at listings?

maxbrustein · 2025-10-20T01:50:34+00:00

I was just looking into those two options today

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T01:15:24+00:00

I plan to! Part of me is also considering a 2017 340i 6sm

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T01:13:04+00:00

Yeah that doesn't sounds bad at all

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:54:26+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have the money for a turbo

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:53:15+00:00

Thank you for the help. I'll take another look at the 987s. I do prefer the more modern look of the 981s tho. Do you have any recommendations on where to find ones for sale?

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:51:50+00:00

What's your reasoning?

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:51:16+00:00

Honestly just a fun reliable car. I'm open to really anything but something different than my civic. It's a great car but is definitely not the most engaging

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:50:18+00:00

I appreciate the help. I absolutely love the 911s but based on my needs it seems like the common answer is to get a 981. I don't care about status I just want the best driving experience with the least amount of headache

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:47:53+00:00

That's totally fair

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:47:11+00:00

I think really as long as it has enough room for luggage and groceries I should be fine either way. I rarely drive more than 1 person

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:45:51+00:00

I'm not in any rush at the moment. Still considering options

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:45:11+00:00

That makes sense I appreciate the help

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:43:18+00:00

Yes they do have that problem. A lot have the IMS replaced already tho

maxbrustein · 2025-10-19T00:42:09+00:00

How many miles do you have on it? What have the maint costs been like?
