And of course I am already contemplating what changes I will make, though for starters it will just be some cosmetic stuff.
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.

Brought home my '99 996 today! I actually acquired it last Monday, however from the seller I took it directly to the shop for clutch, IMS, and a few other items.
It's all stock with 76k miles, and has a Boxster red interior (with leather dash), which I think looks great with the silver exterior. Also has LSD, a nice addition as I plan on AX and DE.
Still needs a few minor things taken care of, such as passenger side window adjustment and driver side window microswitch.
And of course I am already contemplating what changes I will make, though for starters it will just be some cosmetic stuff. Got to drive it for a while as is before deciding where to focus my attention.
Photos are from when I picked it up Monday, still need to give it a proper cleaning and take some better images...
I had almost forgotten what an unmolested 996 looked like. Rare to say the least on these pages. And from your posting it won't be long before another one 'bites the dust'.
Thanks all for the warm welcome!
Yes, definitely glad I waited and took the time to check out several of them before making the purchase. Lights are on the list. Along with the Fister exhaust mod, as it's way too quiet.
I will get some posted soon, just needs a bath and some clean up first...
Congratulations! Just bought ours to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and couldn't be happier. We owned a few Porsches in the past but never a 911. The last one we had was a 2004 Cayenne Turbo - very fast and thirsty!
Anyway, this one has only 52,000 miles and a 6-speed. Not much other stuff but does have a sunroof and the soft leather with memory seats - nice for us old farts. We aren't planning on any mods as we just want to enjoy it the way it is.
Best of success to you with yours.
