What do you guys think?
I dont worry about the IMS, but I know thats an issue with the 911's too. My Boxster has been perfect for 72k miles so far! Part of me wants to keep it... but it's kind of now or never on the 911...
Why is it now or never? I too am contemplating a 996; 2002 Cab C4 W 37,000. I do not expect these cars to appreciate in value and I don't think they've hit bottom. They have all of the same weaknesses as the 986, but the engines are even pricier to replace. That being said, if you think your base is fun to drive, you will enjoy the significant extra go. The 02 Cab C4 I drove is not that much quicker than my 2002 986 S and the box handles better by measurable margin.


There will still be plenty of 996s on the market when you're ready.
