I purchased my 996.2 4S Convertible back in 2004 - it was the last 996 model produced and is very rare, because the 997 already was at the horizon and no one wanted a 996. I still own it and use it as everyday car during the snow free season. It's an uncomplicated sports car, that does its job on the Red Bull ring and on a holiday trip to the Cote d'Azur as well. Maintenance is affordable, I've clocked 105k uneventful miles till now, and certainly will add another 100k miles - these cars were built to last.

$70k for a 996 GT3 would be a steal. Haven’t seen any in my area under $130k. I’m currently saving up for a 996 carrera 4s, wish me luck

I have two 996’s. I bought my 2001 Carrera tiptronic with a full aero kit and wing for $20k that had 50k miles about 5 years ago. 3 months ago I bought a 2004 Carrera 4s 6 speed with 40k miles for $35k. I feel like both of these were a steal.

Great video. I just picked up my third 996.1 in nine years and this time I went with a Tiptronic. Yes yes yes I loved rowing through the gears and rev matching my downshifts but living in Los Angeles is a lot like most cities and driving stick is mostly a drag nowadays. And since I’ve had Lexus GS 350 F Sports as my daily drivers for the last 11 years I have learned to USE MANUAL MODE very effectively and I’m loving the smoothness and the quick responsiveness of Porsche’s Mercedes Tiptronic. It is rock solid, proven technology and I can toss my 911 in the canyons almost as playfully as I have with my manual transmissions.

Loved it! I actually bought my 996.2 6-speed Coupe without knowing a whole lot about 996s.. I've had the car for about a year now and I'm really pleased with my purchase.81 k miles, Great records, IMS clutch RMS already done. I just completely redid the suspension Bilstein B8 H&R lowering springs. Brand new PS2. Complete Aero...The car is absolutely amazing. I do a lot of mountain driving and occasional track days.. feel pretty good about what I ended up with considering my total lack of knowledge. This video would have helped me. I also have a 986s 6-speed that is a fabulous car

I love my '99 996 gen 1 cabriolet. Triple Basalt Black, Hard back Sport Seats.. 50K engine out w/ LN Ceramic IMS, water pump, AOS, Clutch / pressure plate, new top with hydraulics, etal. Also aero kit that looks awesome. And PSE. I've had it 5 years and now it has 58K on it as of 2023. I've owned several air cooled Porsches over 50 years and this is my favorite as I am 72 and live in the south where it gets really HOT. The A/C is outstanding. Better grab up all the 996's you can get your hands on. I am..

Great video. 996's are great cars. forget the headlights, niggles in the IMS but a fantastic car. I own an 997 and it it is awesome. A s stepping stone to Porche ownership to a great car.

Nice video! The GT3 looks awesome in that color. I haven’t seen a GT3 under 90k in years. The tiptronic needs more horsepower to be fun. Manual is the best option for all of them. C4S is getting huge attention for the light bar in the rear and that’s commanding the premium among the base models. These cars are great. My close friend has a 996tt and just bought a 996.1 C4 cab.😊

Great video boys, maybe also consider mentioning maintenance records of previous work done to the 996 such as the the notorious IMS Bearing, it could also effect the appraisal of the car if that is not done or replaced. 🍻

Yup, IMS is a point on these cars. We made another video “5 things to look for when buying a 996” and talked about it there

@sbuskov 10 ай бұрын

Not all 996 has IMS issues. The Gt3, Gt2 and Turbo models all have the Mezger engine and that thing is bulletproof 👌

The base M96 engine is pure design trash. Besides all the failures related to bore scouring, IMS, you know Porsche themselves didn't even trust it because they used the Mezger in the Turbo and GT3.

@mrbroofing2306 5 ай бұрын

Complete nonsense the M96 is not a trash engine firstly the bore scoring is mainly a problem with the early 997 models not 996, just google early 997 for sale especially in uk and see how many engine re-builds they’ve had.. I’ve seen many 996s with 100000 plus mileage with out any problems even with the ims rms jargon crap .. every Porsche has its Achilles even the modern ones..

@user-io4vx2pn4i 5 ай бұрын

@@mrbroofing2306 You believe what you want but I spoke directly with a long time Porsche engine rebuilder and he stated it was the worst he'd seen. The only people hyping the 996 are owners trying to keep their values up and youtubers trying to make a buck of content. Ther is a reason why it's the lowest priced 911.

@JohnMartin-uk6bi 4 ай бұрын

@@mrbroofing2306as an idiot that is just about to buy a 996.1 C4, I’m glad you said this. Everything has it’s Achilles heel, I’m a Corvette guy, but I’ve owned a bunch of non 911 Porsches. After much research, it truly isn’t trash, but some of the issues are worthy of note. This video really taught me nothing. It didn’t mention much.
