The M96 has a 5% engine failure.
If you purchased a 996 and had a RMS/IMS breakdown and out of warrenty, then shame on Porsche.
The other 95% of owners drive a wonderful ride.
The depreciation was caused by the 5% being bad cars.
If you are like me and have always wanted a rear engine flat-six Carrera for less than 20G's, you can drive a high-end world class sports car.
I have had to replace components that I thought went out earlier than expected.
Motor mounts, water pump, oil filler tube, ignition switch, center console tray hinge, window regulator and other small inexpensive things.
I have no complaints.
The 996 will never be a collectable. It is not a garage queen. It will continue depreciating and for that, I say just drive it as hard as you safely can. Enjoy your 20 thousand dollar sports car. Do the routine maintenance and if it blows up, big deal.
