Very neat car, purchaser was going to do the IMS bearing (don't know if he ever did), but certainly it's not a $74,000 car I wouldn't have thought. BTW I sold it for $47k about 14 months ago at a time I thought was more properly a $52k car then. He even left my stickers on, including the PFA one on the side window!! And 18" wheels, it's a pity the description is pretty basic, because it really is a nice car!! Happy to re-acquaint myself with the car should anyone want some more info, or fill you in on what I know. Starting it's downward slide, couple of price changes, already down to $69k.... https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-porsche-911-carrera-996-auto-my02/SSE-AD-7252189/?Cr=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a few months to get used to the subtle differences. Auto v manual & the difference in the balance made me a bit wary of putting the foot down but now I feel a bit more confident in throwing it around. Certainly love the shove in the back when you plant the right foot. Also love the Theatre, Colour, Sound etc. Amazing how little kids gasp & point. Most little kids just pointed & laughed when they saw the S2. It made me weep. I understand why you guys love them. Now as long as the IMS doesn't shit itself & grenade my engine I'll be a happy man.

The low kms suggest the owner is too embarrassed to be seen in it. Can’t say I blame him (or her). Fishcop and Jason E 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
