The car is rubbish. Keep the z. Like everyone said, it's a 12 year old car. They style is dated. Performance is no better or faster than the Z. With the 998 just around the corner, that car will be TWO generations behind. It has a crappy automatic slushbox. Maintenance will be insanely expensive. And what hasn't been mentioned is that early model 996 were notorious for rear main seal and intermediate main shaft failures leading to oil leaks and possible engine damage. Very very expensive maintenance and repair bills there. I wouldn't take that car even if it was offered to me for free.
