996 911's

I quite fancy a C2 or C4 Manual 996 I would rather it be the 3.4 from a price point and a little bit less of a problem (so I'm told)

Will/can I get a decent one for 11/15k? They will all be approaching 100k or some even over 100k, is this a ticking timebomb or will I actually find a nice reliable car for this money?

When I looked a few years ago there were several clear dogs out there but these days it seems they all look quite presentable!

Any input is appreciated

I bought one 3 years ago, which had a Hartech rebuild. Used daily and problem free. Amazing value at £12,000.

I guess that's the issue, very few have had Hartech rebuilds (my old one did which I sold)

Having said that very few are for sale with rebuilds so they can't be that unreliable!

Thanks for all your help guys

Struggling to find a decent early 996 now!

Likewise!! The plan was to not buy the first car I saw, and get a PPI, but a very tidy C2 3.4 manual coupe came up for sale so I bought it! It's low miles and has recently had lots of money spent on it, new clutch, brakes, suspension, rads etc etc. I will get a PPI done though.

Out of interest mate was it from a specialist or private sale?
