Hey Guys, I am so close to buying a beautiful 2002 996 Targa top in Arctic Silver. It appears to be in excellent condition and has only done 40,000km. It's from my local Porsche dealer, but I'm still weary after reading some reliability problems with 996's. I know that the 3.6 is supposed to be more reliable than the 3.4, but is there anything I should ask about or really pay attention to before taking the plunge? I'm so excited, but don't want to buy a dud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) posting some photos :) Cheers Steve

Boxster To 911

Thanks Joee! I didn't realise the bodies were stiffer. That's great. I was hoping that the introduction of the 997's might push the prices of the 996's down, but that hasn't seemed to happen yet. I'd must prefer a 996 over a 997 anyway - I don't know why, but I'm just not into the 997's :) -
Hello All, I have been seriously looking at buying a 996 and selling my '98 Boxster. I've also been looking at a few well-kept 993's. Is there anything I should be looking for in the 996's with regards to known issues etc? Thanks in advance! Steve
