That is what I'm struggling. Piece of mind with the warranty and getting the car I want or settling for a combo or color I don really like and worrying every time I step on the pedal.

I too have strongly considered the "997.1" (2007-2009) Turbos but ultimately decided that spending $65k+ on a car so old just isn't practical especially considering a GT-R is in the same price range and is a much quicker car. The 997.2 (2009+) 911 Turbos are supposedly much more livable as a daily driver but are just so much more expensive yet still slower than the GT-R.

That's what I found out people do once the ceramic ones go bead. I just wonder how long the brakes last before needing replacing. I did consider the gtr but my brother is getting one in a few weeks and I did not want to steel his thunder.

It would be my second car since we get only a few months of summer here before we are hit with snow.
Another thought I had was to buy the turbo for a year or so and then when the m4 is an year old buy a 1 year old one that way I'm not hit with depreciation.
Thanx for everybody's opinion
