The editor had one as his long term test car in Octane too- sadly he moved on, as his monthly column on it was excellent.

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.

Let's get those, non-Porsche owners, hands clammy.. got the 'missed another boat feeling'... :sad:
http://www.classicandperformancecar...e-996-is-now-the-time-to-buy-this-bargain-911
Its a good read.
Whilst I havent bought mine as an investment (otherwise I wouldnt have gone convertible) its nice to think I might not lose my shirt if I ever have to sell in the future (sadly am already convinced I will keep mine for life).....
I have that article in the mag... I was very excited when it dropped on the mat!
Its a shame though that they did not feature a better example as that one was evidently a bit out of sorts.
The editor had one as his long term test car in Octane too- sadly he moved on, as his monthly column on it was excellent.
It is a good read .......... as were the very similar features written 5 years ago when loads of early 996s were available for under £10k and the current £16k cars could be picked up for £12k.
At about the same time several mags ran features on 996 Turbos being available for £20k.
I wonder what £££'s they'll all be 'great value' at in 2021. :?:
...my view would be that this government's persistence with a demonstrably ineffectual but punishing austerity ideology coupled with the uncertainty vis a vis Brexit will slow value growth for stock models; there will always be buyers for GT2s/GT3s and other rarer 996s...thus their values are quite likely to rise more aggressively...
But given that I know nothing about nothing...
I confess that sometimes when I reflect on the car and the amount spent on it I am inclined towards a view that it is over valued...and then I drive it!
King, who doesn't want ragtop 911 in summer. There's a stunning one on here that's gone though a professional resto, As are all current owners really in there on way, from manifolds to rust removal. Being put right and sorted out.
Toddy and Robert, cheers, great garages guys. Being 30's have watched a few decades of great Pork talked down, SC, 964, 993, 968 for various problems and opinions. For the market to have final say, there issues becoming revired badges of honour.
T8, couldnt agree more, As it's svielt lines appear more classic by the day and with the money and time being spent to bring up condition. And chunks of market being tucked away off market in folks garages. Dreamers thinking prices will some how go the other way, probably should put the crack pipe down.
GMG, what?? This that remoaner nonsense. Let's see, talking government down, tick. Talking your Countries prospects down on a 911 site, tick. As an owner talking down the very car you have bought, on a owners talking up tread, double tick. Talking down you're own purchasing decisions, tick. Not listening to own advice. Priceless. Non-Porsche owners, get one and join the party 🎉
