See my post on the the 996 list (page one toward the bottom of the list).

The big "problem" item of discussion in the 996 is the RMS (rear main seal).

The RMS, as discussed, seams to be a bigger issue in 3.4L engines vs. the 3.6l engines. Draw your own conclusions.

The one wish items I was looking for was the 5 point 18" wheels vs the 17" wheels currently on my ride. I was able to compromise and went cont instead.

The Areo package seems to be a popular package (spoiler and rockers) it adds cost and does not make the vehicle go faster.

I have driven the tiptronic and purchased a 6 speed. The tip was okay...not my cup of tea.

Be sure to get a PPI from an independent mechanic.

The 996s are fun cars.
