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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

With the 997 just around the corner (although the dealerships are being cagey about the actual UK launch date) what do people think is going to happen to the price of the 996. I've been looking to buy for a 2002 model for a while, but if prices are likely to come down might it be better to wait another 6 months? :? Migration info. Legacy thread was 14754

POST 2Original post

My understanding is that the 996 will continue to be made and sold at similar price to now for 2 years concurrently with the 997 anyway. not sure that helps you, but it means the 996 won't suddenly become unfashionable or dated. I just bought a 1998 C2 and highly recommend the car! Good luck. Migration info. Legacy thread was 14864

POST 3Original post

That's only the C4S and turbo coupés and cabs. If you take a look in the ''for sale-trade'' section of www.stuttgartnines.co.uk you'll find the spec of the 997. I'm personally a bit disappointed. The 997 may affect 2004 model prices and brand new 996s but I don't think it will really affect 2002 models. Migration info. Legacy thread was 14867
