Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Some unwarry buyers are getting the 996 and don't realize the 997 was available for probably the same price.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have noticed that many dealers are selling 996's referring it as a 2005 model. Does anyone know if Porsche offered the both the 996 and the 997 as a 2005 model or are these dealers misinforming the public?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, it appears that way. The difference between the 996 and 997 is very noticeable both cosmetically and mechanically. Some unwarry buyers are getting the 996 and don't realize the 997 was available for probably the same price. Interesting. I have both and prefer the 997.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
