This is basically what I've been preaching since I bought my gorgeous 996.2 over 4 years ago. The difference is back then people at cars and coffee would raise their eyebrows at me like I was just making excuses for my p.s. cheap Porsche, and now they all node in agreement and lament they hadn't bought one before the prices went up.
The 996 is getting lots of attention now, sounds like you’ve got a great one!
John Connor thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Yep. I had a very similar experince with my '99 that I bought 5 years ago.
I had a guy with a 912 Targa tell me that my car was less of a Porsche because Toyota was consulted on the production of the 996. I laughed myself silly with that comment.
The Porsche 996 a beautiful analogue all weather, long distance cruising icon.
The best of the old and new in one - Pinky Lai a design genius !
Yess indeed! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Modern yet still analog! 💯💯

Love my 996 , just got it a month ago . Thankfully the previous owners took good care
Nice!! Sound like you got a good one! 🚀💯

A word on rust - 996s *can* rust, especially the early (8/98 and earlier build) cars. Clogged drains will lead to rust in the sunroof, deck lid, and hood. Leaves and mud building up in the rear arches can cause rust behind the arch edges, door latches mounting points, and in the sills.
Yes! It’s metal, all metal can rust. Even the aluminum doors on the Porsche 928 can develop aluminum oxide, really messes up the paint. The point I was making in the video is that it’s a lot less, and in most cases…a none issue compared to earlier air cooled Porsche’s.

Great video! I bought my 996.1 in Ocean Blue Metallic about 15 years ago (for a great deal on an almost new 911!). Previous owner did the IMS and clutch, and also took great care of it. I modified it as well, lowered, wheels, exhaust, etc. I have always loved the car, but there were times I really considered converting the front end to the 997 headlight style. At one point, I almost ordered everything for the conversion, but luckily the seller was a jerk, so I held off. Glad I did, as I ended up appreciating the lights and its "quirkiness" if you will. In terms of ownership, the car has been absolutely amazing. Bullet-proof. I have only changed oil, done regular maintenance, and it's been my most reliable German car, even over prior vehicles I've owned such as Mercedes and Audi. Last year I almost sold it for nearly double the price I purchased for, but once again, I held off. I love it so much, I ended up buying another 911 dream car! Liked and subscribed!
Love to hear this!! We need more stories like this!! The 996 is actually one of the most reliable Porsche’s, most are still daily driven all around the world 🌎

Just confirmed EVRRYTHING I've known about my 996 since the day I bought it... love love love my 996!!!
Great job, thanks for sharing the facts, not spreading the rumors...
You gotta love the 996, flat six goodness! 💥💥
Richard Clegg thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Got mine almost a year ago now. Daily it, love it. At the end of the day (and even when stuck in traffic), I’m behind the wheel of a 911and it’s a great feeling.
Love it!! You can daily drive them and still have fun! Its always a good feeling getting behind the wheel of a Porsche 911! 💥🙌🏻
Joachim Rayos thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I’m considering to buy a 996. This video really helped me a lot.
I think that buying a 996 now can be a good investment, but I’m not 100% sure
Lots to like about the Porsche 996! Go drive a few and buy the nicest one. Here in Miami, I see them all the time in traffic being used as daily drivers….the AC actually works! Good stuff!
Edvard Goto thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Brilliant!! I just bought an 02 996 Coupe 6-speed with 81 miles.. almost perfect condition for under 30 grand the car is absolutely f****** amazing. One day this car will get the respect its due.. but I don't care I've got one. Thanks again for the great video and thanks for keeping it real and divulging through the b*******
You know it! 🙌🙌

Another WORLD CLASS video! Porsche has come a LONG way with interior quality. I look at my 970 Panamera, and it’s the difference between leather and Lego. You’re right - if I was in the market for a 911, I’d go straight to a 996 and make upgrades versus any other model.
Panamera vid coming out this year for sure, we can’t wait to attack that one! 😎😎

Me whenever i see a 996 GT2 🥺🤤
Yesss! 🤌💥🤌💥
Mr. G. thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
You mention some points that no one else is talking about. I wanted a GT3 about six years ago. I considered a 996 or 997 GT3. I preferred the styling and interior of the 997 GT3. The 997 GT3 is a bit more civilized. Price was also a factor as 996s were about $60-70k while 997s were $80-90k. In the end I found a mint red 997 GT3 out of California that I am happy with. During the search I drove a mint red 12k miles 996 GT3 here south Florida. It was a beast and for sale at only $62k. How times have changed!
You can’t go wrong with a 997 GT3! 💥💥Sounds like you’ve made a great buy! Prices are going crazy, I expect GT3’s like yours to keep going up for the foreseeable future….Analog Goodness! 😎

I’m on my 7th 911 (a 992 GT3 Touring Manual). I had a 996 in 2003. I had it for 30 days … couldn’t sell it quick enough. Just my 2 cents
Yes, people look for different things in cars. The 992 GT3 is an incredible machine, but remember that most 992’s are automatic.
Btw, the GT3 Touring in a manual is the one to get! 🙌🙌

Great video. You two are sooo Miami! Love it. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🕺🏽💃. And yes, I’m definitely keeping my 04 C4s. It just a great all around spots car. 133,000 miles and running strong. From Southern California to Miami 👊🏼
Thanks! 🙏 Keep driving, these cars are not meant to be sitting in a garage!

Love your video’s
Bought my first car 3 months ago
It’s a 944 type 2 in the color crystal green
Ohh man! That’s GREAT! Crystal Green is a rare color! I see the price of 944’s doubling in a few years. Take good care of it, and it’ll give you years of enjoyment 😎😎

@@HernanSpeed thanks! I am planning on doing a few, soon!
Great video! 👏🏼 In EU 996's are already almost 50-100% than what they were up to 2-3 yrs ago and like you said, even more than some 997's.
Yess! Absolutely! 🙌 I don’t see them going down, especially the nice ones 💯💯

@@HernanSpeed
Thx 🙏🏻 and ohh, Please research if you can and want to , deeply what you know and hear about the spun camshaft issue on the Porsche 997/996 Turbo Mezger engine. What is it and does it happen often?..on many forums it is talked about a lot, but none of the famous Porsche youtubers mention it at all as a con on the model. Only hear pros 🤷🏼
Is the problem a forum ghost 👻 or is it real.
Best regards
Carl
Yes I definitely know about it. All aircooled 911 engines were Mezger engines, so they’re not bulletproof…especially the 2.7’s. So it’s an older engine that was refined over and over, but not perfect. Most problems happen when you up the boost and track the car.. So a stock car is far less likely to have issues. A bigger problem than the spun camshafts are the coolant lines, they need to be welded/pinned…so they don’t blow off under heavy load(upped boost for extended periods).
Don’t let the internet scare you, the Mezgers are incredible engines. Don’t go crazy with the boost and you’ll be okay! 💯💯
@@HernanSpeed
Thx 🙏🏻 yes I heard about the coolant issue, but is the 996 Turbo with this problem also as much? I never heard one con neg word about the 996 Turbo than it so bulletproof a engine can be?
I consider a 997 or 996 Turbo tiptronic, I live in the city. What is your opinon of the tiptronic in 997 Turbo ? Have you tested it?
I am a Porsche owner. I own a 996 4S manual, in minto minto condition😎 Love the car and looks. But this with bore scoring is making negative about the car. So therefore Im looking for a upgrade.
Im from Sweden so hope I got my english ok 🙃..
Carl 🫶🏻
Your English is great 👍 The Tiptronic on the turbos is fantastic, it’s actually faster the the manuals! It’s the older style transmissions with the torque converter, so not as fast as the newer PDK’s…but its very reliable!
Now we need a video on the 986👍
You know it! ✅

I have a mint black 03 Carrera with 55,000kms on the clock. Factory aero kit and wheels. No mods other than the IMS solution. Starting to appreciate massively in Australia now. Not that I’d ever sell it but nice to see as they are a truly beautiful car to look at and drive. At least it has character. The 997, 991 and 992 are soulless to look at apart from a few select models like the 997 GT3 RS 4.0. The brand new 992.2 GT3 is finally starting to show a bit of that 911 character but the last decade or so have been boring in the 911 world IMO.
Love the 996 with the aero package, looks like a GT3!! 💥💥 Faster is not always funner, you’re Carrera with the updated 3.6 engine is pure analog goodness…that’s hard to beat!
Nick S thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
For me it was between the 2023 GR86 (another great car!) and a 2001 Porsche 996.2. I purchased the 996.2 and freakin love it!!!!!
Great choice! You can’t go wrong with the 996.2! The GR86 is incredible value for the money, and you knowww they’ll be reliable for decades! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 But I don’t dream about reliability… the car needs to get me excited, Porsche’s do that! 💯💯💯

Interesting view of the 996. A 996/997 will rust in some countries, the UK is quite bad for rust. Rear wheel arches, are very prone to corrosion, particularly the C4S and Turbo models. the sills/rockers where the doors close, a very odd place! and front wheel arches. My C4S is 19 years old, all the interior trim is in great condition, the worst trim section is the plastic console, that can easily covered in leather. In the UK a good 996 is currently increasing in value around 7% per year.
The C4S is one of the best looking 996’s!💯💪
The rusting issues are much much less than earlier air cooled 911’s, they’re built completely different. Any place with salt covered roads…that’s bad for all cars even here in the states
Robin O’Connor thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Great job! Love the thoughts. I’ve owned two 986s and a 996 and all three had major engine problems by 150k kms (100k miles), also window regulators (they stop dropping), also ignition switch, and fried pcm’s under the drivers seat, and clunking lower control arms and on and on. Inexpensive yes but for good reason. All that said, lots of car for the buck and they can actually be used as a daily driver. Just my 2 cents but the 986 is a better driving experience than the 996 but the stigma of owning a Boxster versus a 911 is a hard pill to swallow. Cheers!
No stigma with the Boxster here! It’s a great car!!🔥🔥 I didn’t dive into the drivetrains because it turns into a 40 minute video, but 996’s & 997.1’s share the same M96/M97 motor. Prices on 996’s are directly related to production numbers, it was a huge success for Porsche.
Interesting. I've had a 996 for almost 15 years. Zero issues. IMS was replaced by previous owner. Other than that, solid.
Allan, we’re shooting a 996 maintenance vid soon, definitely includes the IMS. I think you’ll like it 💭 😎
When I hear people say M96 engines lasting only 100k miles or so I laugh. If you dont garage queen and change oil every 2000 miles and keep the car busy that IMS bearing that everyone e freaks out about will outlast your wheel bearings. Please no comments on trends and stats, focus on maintaince practices. 2003 C3 Cap tip 250,543 miles!!!!!
250k miles!! Wow! 🙌🏻 Love it! We need more stories like this!!
Johnfrank thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Probably should have talked about the IMS issue that plagued the 996 series. I think a lot of buyers shy away from 996 because of it (even though it was a tiny fraction of the cars that had the issue)
Hi 👋🏻 We actually made a separate video on the IMS/Bore scoring going into detail, we might make it public but…. It’s a touchy subject, and that’s not the goal of the channel. We really just want more people to appreciate these incredible cars, IMS turns lots of folks off… even though a tiny fraction cars are affected.
Douglas Hall thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed I'm a 996 owner (3 times in 20 years). It is the best performance/price ratio of any 911 in history. Older ones cost more and do not perform as well, newer ones cost significantly more and perform better. The 996 is the perfect middle ground value.
Wow! Sounds like you really get the 996! The newer cars also got much bigger and bit harder to fit into tight spaces. Prices are going up though, so not many deals in the market anymore
@@HernanSpeed right, and the newer ones are hard to find with manual transmission. I want a clutch...not paddles.
Happy owner of a 996 c4. At around 80k (miles), hearing a minor bearing sound half the frequency of the engine, i.e. camshaft speed, purchased the LN engineering replacement bearing and prevented the catastrophic failure. Highly recommended mod, relatively cheap.
sticky buttons. oh god tell me about it!
The MAIN REASON the price is low is the potential IMS issue freaks people out
The 996 has essentially the same M96 engine found in the 997.1 (2005-2008). We’ve got a video coming on M96-M97 engines, covering IMS and bore scoring.
Danial Howe thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I would be mostly concerned about the most famous problems tied with 996 - and thats problematic engines. Cylinders are cracking and over 200 k km most of them are least egg shaped, headers nikasil coating is cracking which cause your engine will "eat" piece of metal (result is complete destruction of engine), stretched valves, leakings and much more. Cracked dashboards for 1 000 dollars is just paradisal music compared to these nightmares tied to an engines.....
There is reason 996 is called one of most problematic 911 ever....
Hi 👋🏻 I hear you! I know all about those engines better than anyone.. I did a video on the M96/M97 engines found on 911’s from 1998-2008 (996-997.1). The video wasn’t algorithm friendly, so we had to put it on private 🤷. Maybe when I get better at doing videos, I’ll give it another shot.
Thomeeno thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
…So which "non-problematic 911" have you bought for you?…
My 996 C4S is holding like a gem since I bought it in June’2019!…
I like the 99’s, but only because of the throttle response of the mechanical gas.. there’s a lag with the e-gas that I can totally feel. I love 996’s, still a true analog driving experience 🔥🔥
Early 996 coupe only sub 3000lb 300hp 911 ever. 1999 cars built in 1998 are limited, prices will keep rising. Buy one now.
When equipped with the original 16” wheels and manual seats, they’re some of the lightest modern cars ever made. They’re even lighter/stiffer than 993’s were, a huge advantage in construction.
George M. thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I have a 1999 996 6-speed manual base Carrera. Agreed. It's the one to own.
1999 is the last year with mechanical throttle, it’s the most responsive feeling!⚡️⚡️
Could you please speak a little faster ?🙄
Haha 😂 I actually listen to CZcams vids at 1.5X speed! Try slowing it down to .75x. I know it’s not for everyone, still figuring out how to make videos. It’s been a learning process..
Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Only the GT3 and the Turbo have real P engines (Metzger). The Carrera engines are crap..!
Almost every aircooled Porsche is technically a Mezger, because Hans Mezger had his hands in all of them. So, it’s definitely not just the GT3 & tt’s.
Thanks for watching 👊👊
That is clear…. I own a 993. What i want to say is that only 996 turbos and GT3 have the „real“ engines..!
They’re both great engines. The best thing about the Mezger engine’s is simplicity. Simple to service, to rebuild, and tune.
..the Metzger engine is developed by an engineer without restriction in cost. Just quality and a real sportscar engine. The 996 Carrera engine without the dry sump lubrification system is a „budget engine“. Also the cylinder coating is not worth to talk about. Most of these engines don‘t even last 100k km..!
This are 2 complete different worlds.! The Metzger is top calss….and the regular 996 Carrera engine is not worthy of Porsche.

The truth is the 911 is the poor man's 928. Sorry - I gotta call balls and strikes. the 928 was European "Car" of the Year 1979. No other sports car including the 911 has ever won "Car" of the year. The 928 has won 2 production car land speed record at Bonneville (1986 and 2020) - the 911 has exactly won none. Even 911 enthusiast Magnus Walker has started his 928 collection - its Now or Never for the 928 still the biggest bang for the buck in classic Porsches. Singer/RWB/RUF could easily reimagine 928s - its just a matter of time before someone specializes in customizing and outlawing 928s - There is no substitute.
Love the idea of a RUF/Singer type Porsche 928, it would be killer! ⚡️
Real Data thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
…Are you sure?… 928 was meant to replace the 911 for good, which goal has never been achieved…as truth in 2022 is 911 is still in production while 928 has long ago disappeared from production as 944 & 968 did!…
The current 991/992 have more in common with the 928 than the old school air cooled 911’s ever did. So yes, Porsche basically turned the 911 into a grand tourer…like a 928.
@@HernanSpeed - Well, as for me I’d put a 928 with its front instaled V8 engine rather in the same "league" as a Mustang, than a 911 with its inherent unbalance of 40/60 distribution weight, due to its flat-six rear instaled engine, resulting in a completely different car behaviour, compared to whatever front engined GT car on the market!…
But ok, different drivers = different aproach to the matter…
The 928 has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, an engineering masterpiece….definitely no Mustang 😎🤌
