    Thanks for the information

    Well, you could do what I did and buy an '01 with 60K miles and then find out the engine was replaced under warranty and really only had 20K miles on it for the same price. On that one, I think depending on the overall condition of the car, I'd get the '99 with 9K miles. do you know why the engine was replaced? is this common or a special case? THanks

    Thanks Cory, from what i have read i cannot imagine that the 996 would cost me more then my s class, I have spent 14 grand on airmatic problems and it still is not working right, my tranny has gone out at 80K miles and have had some light issues. these are common with these cars and i am just done with the headache. So i want to move to a porsche, it seems from what you are saying all around i should go with a 2002 or 2003. and thanks for your input

    thanks everyone for the responses, i am glad to hear there is a german company that still makes quality cars, my current car S500 is falling a part on me everyday and i was almost ready to to thrown in towel and get a (dare i say the word)lexus. So it looks i will be okay with a 996. I am suprised there is not a bad year, for example of the Sclass the 2000 to 2003 have the most problems, and of course the airmatic is a nightmare. but in anycase thanks for the info

    Hey everyone, this is my first post and i have wanted a 996 for a bit now. i am now ready to sell my benz and get one but i have some questions: out of the 99, 2000,2001, 2002 which has the least amount of problems? What are common problems you guys notice? is it realistic to have one as a daily driver? is it true the rear tires need replacing after 8-10K miles? are the common things like, brakes, oil changes, filters pretty simple to do? Mercedes are very easy as i do them myself do you guys fell the car is safe in the car? for example if you got in a accident would it protect you? Thanks again for anyone that can help a newbee out
