I drove a few 10-year-old 911's before deciding on the 370Z. The fit and finish is great. However, one of the P-cars had the 'entire cooling system replaced' at a cost of $10k (this was an original owner with all service records), and another other balked at going into 2nd gear. Checking on Rennlist, I see cooling systems in the 1st gen liquid cooled 911s (996) are suspect, and many had transaxles replaced under the (long expired) warantee due to 2nd gear issues. So, fit and finish is great. Reliability.... not so sure. I bought a new 370Z instead.
