I’m looking to buy a 996 in Switzerland. I’ve noticed that there’s a version called “limited edition”. I can’t find any details on-line though. Does anyone know the spec please ? Thanks b

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.

Is it the " millennium" edition 996...??
POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
No. I don’t think so. The cars have a little silver plaque at the base of the centre console saying limited edition.
POST 4Original post
Hmmm, I've not heard of this one. Millennium edition and 40 year are the only 2 I was aware of. Can you post a picture of the plaque....?
POST 5Original post
Millennium edition does have a little plaque i think. seen one on ebay
POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Many thanks for your response. Please see the below photos - one’s (obviously !) of the centre console - the other is the door sill kickplate.
POST 7Original post
I’d be interested to ask how much extra over a regular 996 is it valued at?
POST 8Original post
Is that home made with a laser etcher? Interesting to know what differences makes it a Limited Edition other than the plaques.

It’ll be a way of rinsing more money out of someone over a standard 996 I’m guessing
POST 10Original post
OP, don't be fooled by this, it's not a limited edition as far as i'm concerned..... perhaps take a photo of the build sticker under the bonnet or in the front of the service booklet and post a picture on here for us to look at. Be mindful that we're here to help you not get fleeced , nothing more. Millenium edition and 40yr are the only 2 limited edition 996's that were made. . All the best and make the right decision........ is the car available on a website to view that you can link..? Si.

Many thanks for all your responses - I particularly like the etch-a-sketch, home-made plaque observation ! In terms of a response, in no particular order, I think that it's a Swiss special, perhaps put together by the importer ? I think that I've seen another one for sale recently and they're well specced - a phone (!), satnav, heated seats, headlamp washers and upgraded headlights. Perhaps more... It's not much more expensive than any other circa 60k miles, 2001, C4. Perhaps 10%, but that could just be down to overall condition. If anyone has any more info or clues, please shout ! Thanks again.

If you've seen more than one I think this is the most likely explanation. It certainly wasn't done at the factory.
