- I may be missing a few miscellaneous things, however, a search by my user name should bring them up, I usually post when I need to use the wrench (except to change oil...)

Still running on the original IMS, RMS and AOS.....and still running with the original smile when I get behind the wheel, just like I did for the first time 10 years ago.

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.

Well,
This past week my '99 996 turned 10 years under my care and use...
You can read about when I first bought the car 10 years ago here:
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...old-996-a.html
Then I posted on the 5 years of ownership here:
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...999-996-a.html
And I am glad to inform that I am as happy as the first day.
A few more things have been done in the last 5 years:
- New convertible top
- New battery
- New Heater Core
- New Coolant
- New Water Pump
- Repaired foam (the one that flies out of the vents...I reached out when replacing heater core and "re-foamed" the flaps)
- New set of tires
- I may be missing a few miscellaneous things, however, a search by my user name should bring them up, I usually post when I need to use the wrench (except to change oil...)
That's about it folks....
Still running on the original IMS, RMS and AOS.....and still running with the original smile when I get behind the wheel, just like I did for the first time 10 years ago.
Salud...Cheers.....
Note: No oil drips, no oil consumption...
Bravo! Well done and a testament to the fact that these cars are survivable. I'm 7 years into ownership of my 99' C2 Cab, got it just the way I want it and, while its not my daily driver, I do enjoy it regularly and still get positive feedback from other drivers.
120K+....I bought a new GMC Canyon in 2016....so the first 3 years of ownership I drove the truck often, Porsche still got driven 50-75 highway miles every week.
About to hit 80k mi on my 2000 that I bought with 17k on the clock.
Have done 4 rotors , pads and seals, and expansion tank 20-30k ago.
Other than that nada. Just tires and gas.
I just past 6 years in Oct 2020. This is my "forever car". In addition to lots of little things (money, money, money...MONEY!) and tons of sweat/effort, it's got a FSI 3.8l stage II in it. Yeah, I'm not sellin'...
Great to see, Yes, mine is another "Forever-car" too and like dporto I will do the FSI rebuild if necessary... This coming May, I have owned my '00 Cab for 15 yrs. I am so glad I did not sell it 11 yrs ago when I got laid-off for the 1st time from my job, would have been my biggest mistake. Car runs amazing w/o a drop of oil or any sort of other leaks yet (knocking-on-wood); tho currently hibernating thru tough NE winter. Cheers,
