Half the cost of other 911s for no rational reason

If you want to pay $15-$20k more for a 993 or a 997, you can. But for $18-$20k you can own an amazing world class sports car by getting a 996. Other than the controversial headlights and the need to replace the IMS bearing, there is nothing above this car to debate. These cars will hold their value, and as the rest of the collector car world continues to go up and up in price, chances are good that a welll cared for 996 may go up in the coming years too. Six months since I wrote this review and my 996 is still rock solid and even more sublime now that I have a better understanding of its driving characteristics. It’s been about 18 months since I bought my 996. The only unexpected costs have been replacement of a leaky hydraulic pump in the convertible. Total cost was $2200. Other than that the car has been great. I’ve gotten to know it’s driving characteristics even better of course, and I think the one thing I might want to upgrade is the factory shocks. I’m now at 94,000 miles and they seem a little bouncy at times. This car has not disappointed at all. I hate to think about ever selling it, but I could see myself upgrading to a C8 Corvette in about 2-3 years.

If you have never owned a Porsche. You should at least once in your life. It is not just a car it is pure man and machine made whole in one. It is perfection. Want to go fast in a straight line buy a Vette; want an experience buy the Porsche.

This is my first Porsche. On the whole I am pleased with the car and would consider buying another (likely a Turbo as I really feel the car needs another 50+ hp). Reliability is fairly good although I and many other 996 owners have had new rear main oil seals. The last factory ECU tune downloaded at service now has the check engine light flashign on and off.

I've owned this car since new and used it as a weekend toy, and what a toy it is. On the 1 or 2 occasions where I thought about selling it, I've only had to go and drive it for a few miles and I've come back with a smile on my face. It's hard to believe that it could be improved on. The only problems I've had have been with the top was not working correctly when I first got the car. The performance, handling styling and overall experience of ownership have been above my expectations. I would absolutely buy another Carrera.
Fun To Drive, When its not leaking

I sold my 95 NSX because it couldn't safely accommodate children. My 2000 911, of course, can do this, and it's more comfortable, it offers more technology (in terms of safety, performance, etc.), and it is about as much fun to drive. However, despite good JD Power reliability ratings I have been disappointed. With only 6000 easy miles on the odometer, I've had to deal with 3 oil leaks -- a pinched O-ring, a leaky valve cover, and in the past few days, the main oil seal has begun to fail. I understand that 911s have a reputation for oil leaks but this is a bit much, especially compared to that NSX....
