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.

Under £4000 for a slate grey 996.2, nice wheels, upgraded suspension, running well, manual with 145,000m on the clock in good condition. Some folk here have spent more than that on maintenance for a year on a car costing 3 times the price.
POST 3Original post
It's especially hilarious amongst those who hail 996 as a "future classic" and "investment opportunity"
POST 4Original post
I suspect that with Magnus' blessing, 996s are going to get just that little bit cooler... 8) Which is fine by me. I still have a strange hankering for the original 20 year old (996) GT3 so I can scare myself silly.
POST 5Original post
Interesting step for him. I love the colour (admittedly am biased) Whilst not trying to talk up the price of 996s, it does seem unusually cheap....I dont think its representative of the market. But could be wrong....
POST 6Original post
Not familiar with who/what Magnus is, but he says he wasn't looking and someone approached him with it - not quite the same as going out and looking for one to buy is it?
POST 7Original post
It would be good to learn how much Magnus actually spends on the car to get it to the condition of his other cars. I really can't see him accepting anything less.

POST 9Original post
That makes sense. He already owns his favourite 996 and that's his Mk2 GT3. :wink:
POST 10Original post
The 996 has such a poor reputation in the US - reckon they can be picked up pretty cheaply. Largley where all the internet negativity comes from. Build some reliability back in to the package and enjoy the smugness.
POST 11Original post
He says himself in the video - they offered to give it to him for free. $5k is not representative of the car's true value especially given that he says it 'runs awesome.'
POST 12Original post
so Magnus like 996 before: and if you like that 996 gt3 watch what kind of monster it is:
POST 13Original post
Magnus Walker is a hairy bloke from Sheffield, looks like a tramp, now living and working in LA, where he developed an incredible passion for Porsche. Someone made a film about him: https://www.reelhouse.org/mos/urbanoutlaw
POST 14Original post
Thanks 77, what a car. Love it. Imagine throwing 200kEUR at a race car builder and telling them to make a monster!
POST 15Original post
YEAHHH, craziest part about it is even more twisted..... most of all these racing lads prefer "the worst" Porsche ever.... 996
