hi everyone, another newb is joining this forum. i just bought a 1999 C4 with 85000km(52000miles) which came with factory aero kit. this is my first porsche so i'm excited that my dream finally came true, at the same time very fearful of some of the major issues discussed in the forum. this will be my daily driver so i will be driving in all weather condition that this great canadian city brings.

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.

For a daily driver in Canada a C4 was a good call. Great looking example. Have fun.
Welcome......you could be my twin. Be careful of the front splitter when parking. It is held on by plastic rivets and tears off if you hit something.......like road kill. Ask me how I know. Nice ride!
Congrats on your purchase and welcome!
Very nice! Welcome to Rennlist!
Another new member with a MY 99 no less. Welcome, very nice looing example.

Congrats and welcome from a fellow noob. Love the Aero kit on your car, definitely perks up the lines of the car IMHO. Rims are not too shabby either

Welcome to yet another 1999 C2 996. Don't let that engine go cold for long.
Welcome. My perfectly non-scientific opinion is that the 3.4 motors, once they pass 15K or so mileage without major incedent, are the most durable of the first generation (pre 95) water cooled powerplants. I drive my C2 (with Blizzacks on the stock 17s) during the winter and so long as I don't encounter icing they work great. Unfortuantely, living in the Deleware Valley, the sleet and freezing rain capitol of the world, we are challnged by our winter conditions. But you should see more of the "loosely packed powder" variey of slalom conditions. Big fun. Just watch out for those teetering SUVs sliding in your direction while their pilots chatter away on Blue Tooth. Better call in sick. Enjoy!
