Hey Mickey,

Good luck with your impending purchase. 996's have really dropped a ton in value. You can obviously pick up a very nice example. But don't feel that if you let a car go, there won't be another one right behind it.
Part of the fun of owning a Pcar is the search for the perfect one. So don't be in too much of a rush.
Are you sure for example that you want a 996? Do you maybe want a 993 instead? Do you want a cab or a targa, a later model S or all wheel drive? It sounds to me like you are working a little backwards. You can find plenty of vehicles in a reasonable price range so take the time to find the right car.
Low mileage is not neccessarily a bad thing as fluids have been changed regularly.
Also, post a link to the car. Let us take a look.

Have you also visited www.rennlist.com? It's a great forum for porsche owners like X5 world.

Good luck and keep us posted.
