Matt,
986 for sub 8K exist.
996, not yet, but around here you find them for 15K on their 2nd engine.
Hence my phrasing.
Problem is, even if the engine failures are rare, they are overwhelming when compared to the air-cooled engines, and it seems to the 2009+ engines.
Someone buying a 996 will be in for a shock if the engine lets go and the cost of replacement is not economically viable.
Yes I have driven 996s. they are vastly superior to my 911, but lack the feel, the looks, the do-it yourself maintenance. They are not "the 911" we know and love.
As paul said, you pay your money and make your choices...
