996 vs air cooled
I had a 996 1999 2 years ago, bought with 16k miles at time, liked car but lacked a visceral feel, it developed a RMS leak at 20k miles as well as a clutch replacement at time of RMS . I sold and got a 89 cab with 60k miles. the 89 had a much greater road feel required much more driver input much more fum as a weekend back roar drive but not suitable as a daily driver as was the 996. choose based on your expected use. I sold the 89 , a mistake in retrospect and just bought a 06 boxster s , the drive reminds me of the 89 feel but with modern mechanicals can be a daily driver or a great back road car as well nice combination, at a good price point with uprated body and HP in 05 and 06 . my 2 cents worth
