" If you are asking has the IMS bearing been replaced well no is the answer as this is a 98 model. There is a class action in regards to this that affected cars built between 2000- 2005. The 98 models from our own research had a different set up and were not affected". I'm sure there are 996 owners who would beg to differ. I beg to differ big time..

Of course, circa 975k KMs in 16 years is amazing (approx 61k pa) and well beyond my 35k pa and my wife's 45k pa driving. I'd suggest that at any sales price (including sub $10k), the car owes them nothing. It does cost a lot of money to drive a car any distance but when you multiply it to these sorts of miles, the many many tyres it's had is just one dimension. At 10 l per 100km and $1.50 per l, it's still almost $150k in fuel. LOL. Fraz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited numbers in Aus first year most collectable future classic. Pffft!! ONLY 270,000 KLMS. Such a collectable sought after high klm example. engine rebuild by RJP Motorsports including capacity upgrade to 3.8 ltr using original. Better lower range torque really Really? REALLY?? The 1998 996 with its shape and Amber lights was modeled off the GT1 race car. 2 door coupe and headlight shape (non amber) only common factor and is the most controversial 911 on history. Nope, and that's not a good thing the model to buy because of its history. Hahahahha The "Holy Grail" of the 996 series.

LeeM Posted 24February, 2019 Report Share Posted 24February, 2019 Gotta give him 10 points for trying though, as that was a pretty good sales blurb for the unwary/inexperienced potential Porsche owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not too much trouble, I would appreciate it if you could look at it. I'm not sure when I can down there to view it myself. Things I'm most concerned about: Is the engine noisy, blowing any smoke. Does it drive straight, doesn't pull to one side under braking Are the panel gaps all uniform Any signs of an accident.

Got it at the originally listed price - figured the price was good enough to take a risk without PPI etc. High kms, but it will be driven. Pick up hopefully tomorrow afternoon.
