$40k is depressing but probably closer to the truth. With the housing market crash in the US (at least in my neck of the woods) it seems like no one wants to spend big $$ on cars.
I do have the extended warranty to 100K. In fact I just used it last week for $2.7K in warranty work all for electronic BS. I would hate to own the E55 w/o a warranty.
I wonder if the 996tt would be the same headache. 35K miles is kinda high for any 2002 996tt - it would be much better if it had 15k less miles but the price at 60K seems good.
I also have considered flipping the civic and using the Benz as my DD.

Without a warranty and the fact that you don't sound flush with cash, if I were in your situation I'd pass. Don't **** off the wife and **** with your finances just to get a car you'll be bored with in a couple years

The no warranty on the modded P car also scares me unless you have the expendable cash for repairs if the ****e hits the fan...My heart says yes, but my mind has to go with the side of caution...good luck either way.

I would keep the E, but the P-car is a monster, How often do you go to the track?, the p-car as a daily driver will suck and will get you bored in a few. Keep the E man.

Hey Isaac... I just picked up a 2003 996 GT2 2 weeks ago to add to the collection.. Awesome car and a much different feel than the AWD 996s I had before. I think its an awesome car but I dont know how good of a practical daily driver it would be if you are going to replace your E55..
...but I need to sell my 55...

It is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission! Get the P-car and keep the Beast! Dump the civic!
