Congrats Rattlsnak! Good chance to get some decent headlights on the thing! I think you are the first one in this thread that actually went and bought one of these so-affordable cars!

I have the impression, everyone else is just watching the train wreck in terms of price decay on these cars!
I read a thread on the 996 forum (continued on RL) where a Brit chap bought a flood 996 and brought it back to life for little money. Fun read ....

What is wrong with yours?
