After a 15 year hiatus from owning a Porsche and recently having the opportunity to drive a GT3 decided it was time to jump back in. This time I was looking for something I could use as a rolling project/possible track car so I ended up with a 1999 996 Carrera 4 with 97k on the clock for 14k. Its not a GT3 but it puts a smile on my face when I drive it. I was specifically looking for a C4 because I live down a gravel road (FYI, the road in better condition then most CA highways) with a few big hills on it and it gets slippery in the rainy season. Its a decent 10 foot car (looks good from 10 feet away) has a few blemishes here and there but nothing serious at all. My plan is to just drive it for a while until I figure out what I want to do with it exactly. Anyhow, I'm glad to be back in the Porsche community.

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.

Whatever you do, don't put a sticker on the side that says, "Apollo 911" and you'll be just fine.
Welcome back, the bay area is a great place to drive a 996

Super fun car!
Nice buy for 14 k. Also nice KTM. Just bought the 2021 250 XC.
