You can set aside $12k for a new engine and still be ahead of the game!

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.

Just thought I'd post about my 1st 911. I like reading this forum and have found a lot of good information here. I'm sure I'll be posting more in the future. Mine is a 1999, black on black, 59 k miles, cost 25.5k. Seems to run and drive excellent. Just had it inspected by Mike Tillson Motor Car in Philadelphia. The only thing they could recommend was changing the belt.
The speed. Compared to what I'm used to ( 1997 bmw 3 series, 2006 ford mustang 6 cylinder ) this car is really fast. I love it. I know many of you have much faster vehicles (TT) but it's all relative I suppose. It's great to step on the gas and have the car actually respond immediately.
The color - sure it's a pain in the *** to keep clean, but I actually enjoy the effort. And when it's clean, does anything look better?
The dream - for me it is a dream come true. I love this Porsche.

EJ,
Welcome aboard. Beautiful car. You're right, when it's clean, nothing looks better. I just finished washing my black 996 and thinking how tough it is to keep it looking great. But just looking good is good enough some of the time.
You have the option that I lust after - the rear wiper!
Thank you for all the positive responses. The wheels are 19" My original pictures were a bit shaky, which accounts for the image blur. I also noticed my pics are too big, requiring annoying scrolling. This weekend I'll put the camera on a tripod and get some real crisp pics, sized correctly.
Damn! $25k?? I can't believe how cheap 99's are getting. You can set aside $12k for a new engine and still be ahead of the game! Congrats!
Now, find a school zone, and burn some rubber!
In a lot of states they have an Amber Alert system...and I want to say in Pennsylvania if they do, it is flashing brightly
BTW...still a nice looking car
NICE! Great price too.
Now get ready for the real expense... MODS!
-Side skirts
-Front GT2/GT3 lip spoiler
-Rear wing
-and the list goes on and on...
(installed my new rear spoiler, AeroKit II side skirts and '02 GT2 front lip spoiler today! WOO HOO! Will post pics tomorrow after I wash and wax)
Great car. I'm new here as well.
I just picked up an 02 coupe with 51k miles for 39k this week. Learning how to drive a stick with it and really looking forward to when I can actually drive it well.
I'll try and get some better pics later.
Well, I feel like crap. I probably should have done a little more research than I did, but I just bought a 2000 996 C2. It has 59,000 miles and not many options. It does have all maintenance stamped in the book though. I paid $29,000. Damn, $25.5 is a steal!!![IMG]

othomasjr-I wouldn't worry about what you paid at this point....besides, I think there is a noticeable difference between the 00 and 99 prices because the 99s had a few unique issues the others did not....
A few nice pickups here...congrats everyone!
