IMS is an issue 1998 though first gen 997's. The LN replacement cost is $1500 - $2000. There are some new lower cost replacements including one from Pelican. Clutches last 50 - 70K miles. Rear tires 10 - 15K. There are a few other weak spots but nothing major. The 996 is pretty DIY friendly and there is a ton of info online. They are actually very reliable. Mine came in about $20k after purchase and IMS/clutch and a couple other minor repairs. I bought her is Seattle and drove home to Dallas. Extremely comfortable on long drive.
Just because I like looking at her...
