I really like these cars, and they are quite sweet looking everywhere except the 1990's Pontiac dash. If I could get over that part I would consider one myself. Everything else in the interior looks high quality except for the dash design.

I think 996 Turbo values have already bottomed out, but the car is still the bargain of the entire 911 Turbo lineage. Although it still gets knocks on the styling of the headlamps and interior, that other 996 problem of engine reliability just isn't a factor with the turbo. The Mezger engine is rock solid.

The Turbo, GT2 and GT3 use a completely different engine from the rest of the 996 range. It's a common block with the GT1 race car. No problems with RMS and IMS.

RMS issues are still common with the Mezger engine in particular cars. The 997.1 GT3 was prone to it, especially if they're not driven very much.

Because racecar.

Nice car. I've been toying with the idea of picking one up myself. I found one and was going to go take a look at it but somebody beat me to it.

Yeah. I heard that the cylinder linings often wear out on these cars, if the engine was not fully warmed-up. Owner did a lot of local driving of less than 10 miles. Best to avoid 996 and first gen 997 with low mileage. Unless, you know for sure that the owner put good mileage on the car... whenever it was started up.

Seems more common on low mileage, Tiptronic 996s.

Much prefer it with the rubber front lip. Great purchase!

congrats on the 996!

I prefer it too. The black lip makes me think back to my RX-7 R1.
