Well, after doing a fair amount of reserach, and looking at a number of 996's, I picked up a '99 996 C4 Cab this last weekend. It is in near showroom condition, with 58K on the clock. Picked it up for $31K from a dealer that had it on his lot for 6 months as eye candy and finally wanted to move it. Never had a Cab before, so I'm pretty excited. Jury's out, though, whether it'll get by blood pumping as much as my Aprilia sportbike!

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.

Welcome! Nice looking ride - someone has kept it looking shiny for sure Not sure the excitement will match a sports bike, but I think it'll certainly be pleasurable in many ways. I see chrome wheels - any other options or mods on the car?
Ya, we want more det's!! Options?? It's a beautiful car!! Steven Cole will be proud!!
Nice... nice color!
Just basic options, memory seats, all leather, hi-fi stereo (although it has an aftermarket head unit with an ipod connector in the console). 6-speed, of course. The dealer let me copy the pink from the original owner, who bought it new. I'll contact him in a couple of days when I get a list of questions together. I drove three C2's before I drove this beauty. Are all C4's that much more responsive off idle? This baby wants to go places in a hurry!
Congrats on the very shiny car. Looks like you got a pretty good deal on it too!
Very nice looking 911! Red/black/chrome really stands out! PS--Memory seats and full leather aren't basic options, so enjoy them!
Congrats on the car - love the color!
I think that's a pretty good deal and a beautiful car! Congrats and welcome to the club!
+1 Memory-seats and full-leather are 2 of the most saught-after options!!
Ya think so, Don? I know I do! Just got back from lunch. Wouldn't you know I had to drive about 20 miles just to get a decent club sandwich
Congrats and Welcome to Rennlist! Very nice looking P-car!
Congratulations and welcome aboard. The chromies look great with the bright red paint.
vERY nICE. I like your style!
Sweet looking ride!
Aye lad...tis' a beauty it is. Welcome aboard.
Sweet! Red w/ chrome looks awsome...
Excellent deal and great looking cab. Love the GR too! Enjoy!!
Now I just need to contact the first owner (he traded it in for a Mercedes) to find out the skinny on exactly what has been done to the car. Considering the condition of the car, it appears that some goodies were removed during it's captivity in the dealers lot.... I found an Alpine CD changer remote in the console - no changer in the trunk, just a few wires... No wheel crests - previous owner was way too **** about his car to not have wheel crests. Wonder what else...
nice ride!!! put a B&M SSK...No.1 mod on the forum
Nice ride!! Congrats on the purchase. Hope the mod bug does not hit you too hard.
After looking at many different brands of cars, I bought a 2001 cabriolet with 26K miles. After having it for only a month, there are a few things that I know for sure: 1. this will not be my last Porsche 2. I can't believe I considered a corvette 3. I was unaware of "mod bugs," but I think I got it (I now know what a 'plenum' is) 4. This is a fantastic website
