Questions from possible 996 buyer
BGolden replied to BGolden's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thanks for all the responses guys. I think I am going to wait about 6 months and learn more about the vehicles and which I would prefer to purchase. I currently have 2 turbo vehicles and not sure if I want the turbo model or not on the porsche. -
Just wanted to start off by saying you guys have a great forum here. I wandered over after searching ebay for a 911. I currently have a 94 mazda rx7. I have built several of these ranging from 400 hp single turbo cars to stock. I was looking to get away from the rx7s for a while, but not much interested me except for the porsche. I cannot decide between a 996 or a 993. I have also found a very clean 964. I was leaning towards the 996, but all I seem to read about is engine failure and problems. Is this a common problem w/ these vehicles? I can see a turbo motor lasting short of 100K, but not a N/A motor. Please treat me like a 5yr old and give me all the info you can. I was hoping to find a daily driver that I could occasionally track and not worry about it. Sorry if there is a FAQ I missed. Thanks in advance. Brad
