The 996 is a fanatasic car at a very affordable price. That red one sounds like a deal.
Bought my 50K mile 99 earlier this year, did he IMS and clutch and it's a great daily. ![]() ![]() |

I propose that a 2003 986 S 3.2L for ~$15K is a better car than an older 1999-2000 996 3.4L for $18-20K.

As example, I just pulled this as the first one I saw off my local craigslist. No affiliation of course.
2002 Porsche Boxster S That is SO MUCH GODDAMN CAR for the money. Think Mazda 3's go for that damn price.

Scam or no scam, it's not a reasonable request. You pay for the car, you get the car then and there. It's not a condition I could live with, certainly not on an internet based purchase.

Isn't the IMS a much bigger deal in a 986?

Burn the fire.

This should be named "The Affordable M96 Thread".
They are typically low entry cost with the potential maintenance costs of $1,000 - $30,000 ![]()

I don't know how it could be... the 3.2L S and the 3.4L 911 motor are nearly identical. The IMS is the same.

I think an engine drop in Boxster is harder, that's all. I could be wrong.
