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.

I've read in few places that 996 is not one of the most reliable 911. Can someone please answer in detail the known issues and which year the major issues were resolved? If (And I said 'IF'), I was to consider 996, what year/mileage should I be looking for?. I say mileage because certain issue may get resolved at certain major service for example. thanks in adv Aj Migration info. Legacy thread was 116604

You need to watch out for running out of petrol, they can do that! Tyres, they can wear out a little early. Washer fluid, well that a tricky one, there's too many reports of some just not cutting it. Oil, yes it needs it occasionally. Too many internet forums spreading stories of a few failures. Migration info. Legacy thread was 116614

Just buy one, you definitely won't regret it. Sensational car. Mine is a daily driver with little more required than routine maintenance (although routine maintenance does cost more - however this shouldn't be an issue otherwise you wouldn't be considering Porsche would you!). The OPC's over here in Sydney are a bit of a rip-off (don't know you boys go over in the UK) however if you find yourself a good independent service person maintenance can be very reasonable. Trust me (and everybody else on this forum) you won't look back. It brings a smile to my face every morning I fire it up and mine is "only" a 3.4L! Migration info. Legacy thread was 116927
Hi, Whether it is OPC, Indie or private have a good enjoyable time searching. Don't let your heart take over too much in the money stakes!!! However if you see something and it is the one go for it. I ended up going down the OPC route so paid over the private and Indie prices but the car had had its major service and £7,000 invested into it with tyres, pad, discs etc. Tollerating the unfortunate depreciation hit but never once regretted it.
