After almost two years, I sold my 996 last weekend. Bought it for $10K (see
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/44227-986-wrecked-got-996-today.html) and sold slightly less.
The buyer was a good friend who is the ex-editor of Petrolicious.com. Odds are very, very high that he will be writing or filming a story featuring
his new 996 sometime in the next few months.
Though it has more miles on it, the car is in substantially better shape than when I bought it. Still has the original IMS bearing (knock on wood). It could use a set of new shocks but otherwise is in very good running order.
I really enjoyed the 996 but since I bought the 78 911 SC, the 996 sits in the driveway undriven and somewhat unloved. It was time for someone else to enjoy this car and time for me to start looking for my next Porsche experience.
