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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, I'm getting ready to sell my 993 and I am interested in a 996 turbo. Are there any model years to avoid or certain options to stay away from? Are there any looming problems with a 996 like the 993 air injection port clogging and resulting CEL? How is the performance of the 5 speed tip in the 996? Does it slow the car down a lot comapred with the 6 speed? I ask this because Porsche seems to rate the 2007 tip turbo a little faster than the six speed. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Any 996TT is a good one. No worries about any of them. The engines are pretty much bullet-proof. The 996TT tiptronic accelerates slower than the manual, unlike the 997TT tip. I don't think it "slows the car down a lot compared to the 6-speed", but it IS a bit slower. Tip or manual, though, it'll be a beast.

POST 3Original post

Just posted about some of your questions on the 996TT forum here https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turbo-forum/411808-tip-vs-manual-question-yes-i-tried-a-search.html

POST 4Original post

02+ are better. The early 01's had bumperettes and heavy solid spoke wheels. They switched over to hollow spoke wheels mid-year. They improved the interior, stereo and added some nice options (aero kit, X50 engine upgrade) in 02'. If it were me, I would look at an 02'+. There are no issues like the one you mentioned with the 993.

POST 5Original post

+1 for the 02 and newer,a Porsche salesman I do not buy from concurred. Happy Hunting.

POST 6Original post

The Turbo's have the modified 964 case. They're bullet proof !

POST 7Original post

I will go for a turbo some time soon also, 02 and up had some small changes on the interior, new dash with a glove box (the order cars wont have one) cup holder and some other changes here an there, also the PCM 2 is something that only the 02 and up cars have and it is the way to go if you like the navi in the car!

POST 8Original post

Tell me about your 993 - looking. PM if you prefer. Thanks.

POST 9Original post

I think '02 was when they started putting gove boxes in. This is much more important than engine, gearbox, and wheel/tires.

POST 10Original post

I would avoid the years prior to 1998 for the 996.

And after 04. Really, there were only about six good years for the 996. The rest were really pretty suspect...
