Maybe if you're in Carerra GT/Merc SLR territory, but these are sub $100K cars here.

I could see calling a purple automatic convertible 997 a "wife's car", but as stated above, a manual, base 2wd 997 coupe is anything but.
If you can afford a $75k~$80k car IN CASH, $10K is probably only a couple more months (or less) of earnings. If you finance and are paying $1500 per month on a car payment, what's another $200?

I stand by my statement that if you're already spending that kind of money on a car, step up and go for at least a 997S.

If you want to be seen driving a Porsche 911 and want to be able to say you drive a Porsche 911, the 997 base is the car for you.
