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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After a lot of searching mainly for a Boxster or 968 I found a great deal on this 996 Carrrera 4. This replaces my deceased 944 which was totaled by a distracted driver (not me). So after a complete day of ownership I love this car ! Its a 2 owner car full service history and well looked after 101,000 which lived winters in Florida and summers in MI. I settled for a tiptronic (it pleases the wife!) and so far I have no regrets.

POST 4Original post

Very nice. You'll love 996 ownership. Drive it. Enjoy it...and don't read the scary stuff.

POST 5Original post

Congrats and welcome. Many of us here are former 944 owners so we know the feeling of coming into this car. Enjoy!

POST 6Original post

That generation of Sport Design wheels is one of my favorite Porsche wheel designs. Looks like a great car. In a similar vein to you, I just got a nice 2004 Boxster S, with Tiptronic, also for my wife (she wanted to drive the car too, and has just never liked manuals, even though I tried to teach her and she was coming along...) Anyway, I find the Tip in manual mode is surprisingly good. The shifts are quite quick (nothing like PDK, I'm sure, but quicker than I imagined). In a perfect world it would be a manual, but it really is not a bad car at all in Tip form, and is still a great drive. I love the Box, and I hope you enjoy your 996!

POST 8Original post

Thats a nice looking job. Welcome to the board. Leave the pumpkins. Nice wheels.

POST 10Original post

Very nice ride! Enjoy! First mod - Harvest the Pumkins!

POST 11Original post

Welcome aboard. It's the handling that hooks you.....Tip or manual, you'll find a short straight road to a location being replaced by the long way through the curves....enjoy.

POST 12Original post

Nice car, nice color and I especially like the Sport Design wheels I bought my 996 C4 with about the same mileage and it has been my DD for about two years now and I love it . Unfortunately, we bottomed out on a speed bump and have a big crack somewhere in the bottom where 9 plus quarts of oil leaked out .

POST 16Original post

Great looking cab and welcome to the C4 club. You can always tell the C4's by the silver calipers.

POST 18Original post

Great looking C4. It looks like it's Ocean Metallic, which is my favorite color, albeit I'm a bit biased! Welcome to the club, it doesn't suck.
