I'll check those again today, thanks for the information.
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.

Hello everyone,
I'm on a search for a 996 and decided to stop in, sign up and do some searching on various topics.
I'm looking at a 996 (mkii) next week but wanted to do some research here first as a "non-lurker". There are so many questions already asked, I have plenty to keep me busy.
I do hope to become an owner and participant here.

Good Luck.
The search is a lot of the fun. My only piece of advise is you can't be over informed.
Ask questions as they come up and you will gain a wealth of knowledge. And probably a few laughs.
Yes, I agree. I just happen to only find a mkii within 100 miles and I will extend the radius if needed.
I do notice prices a bit higher on lower mileage units with full leather. The vehicle I am taking a look at is priced at $35k.
Deegee: you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. And there aren't many of us left.
Thekurgan: Actually, I had talked myself into looking at only Mk II's until I saw a Mk I aero in person. You'll never miss the glove box (the map pockets in the doors hold plenty of junk), the extra 20 hp/torque is largely negated by the weight gain. The other difference often quoted is the interior materials quality. Full leather in the Mk I makes that issue moot.
