In my research on the 996, I found that the 1999 did indeed have a lot of problems. I talked to the service manager at a Porsche dealership and he was right up front about steering clear of a 1999 because of the problems that they have seen. I probably wouldn't buy earlier than a 2002 because that was the year they went from a 3.4L to the 3.6L. As far as engine mods on the 3.4L, you would have to spend a fair amount of money to get the horsepower of the 3.6L. I saw the car you were looking at and it was very nice looking but the price of these seem to keep dropping and there is a good supply. Good luck.
