Was doing extensive research on the 996 Turbo over the past months - and finally recently bought a very nice one...
... 1 owner, 4000 miles car - maintained perfectly
Built to order by Porsche Exclusive:
X50 Power Kit, Full Leather, Sport Seats, Rear Seat delete, Pan Americana Roll Bar, CD Charger, Rear Parking Sensors, Short Shifter, full inspection, new Tires, Porsche Used Car Warranty etc...
... and it drives like a new car...

Wow, Nice, only 4k miles!
The 996TT is still one of the cars that impressed me the most when I drove in it for the first time.

I still have a very clean example available for sale. Full maintenance records, including details of some issues above -- all resolved.

So if 2nd gear pops out then a new gearbox is required?
What is the price of the 8 coolant hoses? Can these be replaced while the engine is in the car or does it absolutely require a drop?
What about the RMS issue? Want that also a notorious problem as well?

^^^ RMS isn't really an issue on the Turbo's as they run a different block (GT1 IIRC?) and dry-sump oil system.
You just have to look out for the RMS failures more on the N/A 996's.

Can't argue with this one bit. My nights are now spent prowling the internet for the perfect one.
