Hey All, I've been doing some soul searching and I think it's time to sell the race car (73 911) and get into a newer street legal car. While my first thoughts were a 95-98 993 (sorry guys I really do love the air cooled cars) I did a little research and found I could get into a 99 or 00 996 for about the same price. Those cars are really holding their value. So, I think I'll look at the newer cars. I feel pretty good with my knowledge of the early 911's up till the late 80's, but I'll admit I don't that much about the newer cars. I'd like to get some links to some online resources to learn about the 996. Is there anything I need to look out for when looking at these cars? I'm not planning to buy until the Spring, so I have lots of time to do research. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can provide.

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.
