Left hand drive 996

[hoganscrogan]

My brothers 911 interest has rekindled my desire for a Porsche (which was born as a kid after watching all those evil black 911's chase Condorman!).

NOw one thing I've been tempted by is a new or used LHD 996 - cheaper than the RHD versions and in it's designers intended format (Smart ownership has got me into LHD).

Anyone had any experience of buying/running a LHD 911.
I'm wondering if the initial savings are outweighed by residuals when selling on?

Sorry to seem like a leech! I am researching on the web but have yet to find any decent advice.

Thanks for any response.

Cheers bosshog - it's going to be feb/march next year I"ll be making the purchase I'm afraid. I like to get up to speed before I make any decisions hence the trawling for info now.
Main questions would be speedo conversion cost, and resale - you finding it difficult go sell yours on-or is there a decent market for the LHD cars?

Thanks

Hmmm...996 or 994 discuss!
Seriously the 994 was the last of the 'old' style 911's - less friendly than the 996 - more expensive to run etc. Not a big 911 tech head...always been a bit confused by the all the 9' s and the similar looks

NOTE : I'm checking the other threads for this info so you don't need to duplicate that stuff
