I have a 99 996. Over 100K now. Only 3% had the bearing failure. I had the IMS replaced with the last clutch replace. If you read the 996 Carrera threads from the past, you would think 75% had the bearing failure. Buy the car and drive it as much as you can. The 99 Carrera is a $20K car with 60K miles or less. The owner history is more important than anything else. Less than 3 owners is good.
The 996 (fifth generation) was called a slab side. Egg looking headlamps... Blah, Blah Blah.
Best deal you will ever get. Liquid cooled block and heads means reliability.
10:1 weight to horse power means you will hauling arse. Very reliable.
A lot of Porsche 911's are investments. the 99 996 is not.
