[Keith Z in DC]

I purchased my 1999 996 with 72K on it. I won't tell you how many miles I have on it now...it is so much fun to drive. Mine was a one-owner car and had not seen the inside of a paint booth. It is now a two-owner car and still has not visited the paint booth.

I have done a few things to it but nothing out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend that you invest in a code reader as that item has come in very handy rather than running to the dealer/shop to have check-engine codes read. I will also add that I have seen a large number of cars with very low miles on them that are plagued with problems. A very highly respected mechanic in the Richmond, VA area told me that the cars like to be exercised and you have fewer problems with them if the are run on a regular basis. A high mileage car would not scare me at all. I would just recommend going over the records with a fine-tooth comb and taking the car in for a pre-purchase inspection.

That is about all I can share at this point.

Good luck!
