Are the first water pumpers really that bad? Is it all IMS-related? Where does it end?

good question. I almost bought a 99 996 convertible, but went for a newer 987 instead

the payment on the 99 996 would be higher even though it was cheaper because no companies were willing to finance a car that old at the rate and terms I got because a older vehicle is more of a risk

so there you have it, i chose a 987 over a 996. Crazy or brilliant? You decide :dance: but let me remind you the 987 was being sold until 2012 so I basically have a Porsche that looks like a 2012 model

Why are you financing such old cars?
