Okay, purported "motor issues" ... is that better?

intermediate shaft issue is the one thing that stops me from getting a basic 996 c2 as a daily. it breaks, you buy new motor - no fun. (and, given my luck w/ my 996tt, i'll pass on those odds.)

I concur. The 996TT is a fantastic car for the money.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

I love my 996 C4S, but it doesn't look like the narrow bodied ones do. They are atrocious...

Either way, mine will be on here for sale in about 6 weeks, so if anyone is interested, feel free to PM me.
