    Lightfall -- Here are 2 forum posts that should help you. I just bought a 2000 C2 Cab 33000 miles. I can't afford a divorce, but I got married anyway. Do your best due diligence with PPI from an Indie, understand its history, where it was manufactured, converse with previous owners, then enjoy yourself. If the extended warranty gives you the peace of mind then great, spend the extra on it and make sure you know what it really covers. I'm sure I will not be the only one to chime in on this topic.

    Hello all -- 2000 C2 cab 6 speed US I just bought a 2000 C2 Cab. I am not a mechanic by any means, but can find my way around my Audi's to change the Air and fuel filters, Fill Fluids, change spark plugs. I have ventured into fixing locks, arm rests, and window issues. I generally go to C&G performance in Pittsburgh for my Brakes, Oil, Sensors, etc. I did some searching on the site and didn't see a list for starter set of nice to have tools for DYI projects. So I am for advice on tools to buy. I want to build a toolkit that will contain the right tools for simple DYI repairs. Thanks, Tom

    I am new to Porsche ownership. The new purchase 2000 996 c2 Cab 6 speed manual with 33,000 miles has not been tracked or driven really hard. I do not have any immediate plans to tack this car, but I am willing to push it. It looks like I will be in for new Rear tires. Are there any best practices when it comes to buying/replacing tires? For example, is it OK to have different brands on front and rear tires or should they be the same brand? Should you buy all 4 instead of just the 2 rear? Is there a recommended # of miles or years that one should think about changing the tires even though tread is still fairly good? say 5/16th. Thanks, Tom

    I just purchased a 2000 996 and have not taken delevery of it yet. I have been wondering if I could squeeze my golf stick in the car. My wife and I are palnning a golf trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan with the car. We were going to try to fit 2 sets of stick in the car. Not sure how yet. Were you able to put the entire bag with clubs in there or did you have to remove them from the bag? Thanks, Tom
