And yes, I would try to rent any of them for an extended test drive before jumping ship.
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.

I am glad I do not have those thoughts and hope I never do
You have a beautiful specimen of a very clean looking 996!!!!! Sell it when it looks like pooo and you won't feel so bad.
It’s a 99 C2
Boxster red full leather
LSD
KW v3 coil overs
Carrera II wheels
Fister exhaust
I’ve had it four years. Just getting the itch to try something different.
Ha, totally a clone of mine.
99 C2
Boxster Red full leather
LSD
M030 (sport suspension, now on Bilsteins)
Same wheels as yours
Sport seats
So cool. I love the car, even if the radiator fans started singing today (more like a non-stop squealing noise). Gotta get them checked and the faulty one exchanged.
Nice! Jealous of the seats. Still bummed I missed out on some local and (relatively) cheap red GT3 seats right after I got the car.
And my starter began squealing today
You need to see a doctor and get your head examined! Just kidding, these cars are the best bang for the buck in my opinion...Don't do something you might regret later.
6/98 build date on mine, how about yours?
No one has ever accused me of making good automotive choices. Past car history is
here.
Yeah, see above. I've changed several other cars in the time I've owned this one. Quite unusual!
You should
never
do that! And if you do, don't show it to the SO!
Mainly, I just want something a bit more modern.
Some vehicles I'm considering:
2011 Boxster Spyder: looks so amazing! Friend has a Cayman R which is fabulous and got me thinking about these.
Alfa 4C: Super raw, carbon tub. Maybe too raw.
BMW M2: Maybe too mainstream. Great size, performance, and could DD.
Ford GT350: I haven't had a V8 (!) and I love mean exhaust sounds.
Nice 996 you have there. Looks just like my 99 C4. I'd keep it. Every time I have sold a 911 in the past, I miss it and it instantly it shoots up in value.
BTW, Is that picture from Rt. 9 near Alice's? Ever drive Rt.25?
Values are certainly on their way up. I’m okay with that either way.
Yes, this is on Hwy 9 just down from the 4-corners intersection. I’ve driven on 25 and lots of other great roads around here
Can’t do it as easily now, but I’ve done a lot of low-traffic weekday drives, which is the best way to enjoy the local roads.
