Heel and toeing in the 993 footwell is a pain. Well it is for me.

996 has more room in it --- in the boot at the front and for kids in the back. I have even seem adulcrammed in there.

Agreed the 3.4 had some issues, 3.6 facelift is supposedly better.

'Sold my 996 C4 3.4 to somebody who was trading out of a 993 --- they are now ten years old. Great with it, but showing their age.

Thats true I may find myself sorting after a 996, - if only they didn't.....

- Have a RMS
- Encounter manic depreciation
- Risk Catastrophic engine failure

This is all happening in your garages right now!!! Even on a Sunday!!

Of course just kidding.

I think.......

Good point. So I think we can safely say we have covered the 996 issues. So unless you cut hair for a living, i guess that leaves one option.

THE PROPER PORSCHE......

Just seen your post about your 993 leaking oil, now what was that you said about 996 RMS issues?

lucky you have deep pockets , I have never had to spend anything on my 996 and that includes oil. Spose older cars need more maintenance though .
