Hello all, As prices start to drop in the winter months I'll be after an early 996 Cab for roughly £16k. I'm only gonna use the car at weekend and I won't simply be thrasing the pants of her!! My 2 questions are:- 1. Is it worth the extra money to get a Carrera 4? 2. Manual or Tiptronic? Cheers all!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1. No 2. Manual (IMO) But at £16k for a 996 Cab you may not be able to be so choosy.
Mainly agree with previous - that is if C2 had PSM. But as that's only an option on the C2 most don't seem to have it, it's therefore more difficult to find a C2 that does. The C4 has it as standard fitment. For everyday driving (partic in our wet climate) PSM is almost as good an asset as ABS. Is there much of a price premium between C2s and C4s of early vintage?
I actually know someone selling a C4 Cab, manual, for £16500! Full service history, silver with blk. I can find out more if you want!!
Sounds good - if you can get some more info incl pics that would be great. My email is, [email removed]. Cheers mate!
No problem. Will get some info and let you know.
Got some info over the phone for you. Its a C4 Cab, 1999, 116000 miles but had a new engine at 68000 which is fully documented by Porsche with receipts and new engine number in service book, Artic Silver with Metroploe leather, Hard top as well, manual, 3 owners including present one, taxed and M.O.T. Looking for £16500 ono includes a private plate. Guys name is Akis, 02088840976, based in North London, N18. If your interested, give him a call and mention my name which is Harry. Good Luck!!
Thanks for the info but I think I'll hold out for something with a better history.
C4 Cab with better history for the required amount of £16K? - could be pushing it a bit!
My sentiments exactly!! Seen the car and its a steal at that money!!
1 = c2, because it has more boot space. 2 = which ever you prefer.
