Maybe a repost but.. cor blimey!

He has opened up the motor finally and found it to be unworn..damn shame, he could have made half million miles without opening it!

Puts winter tires on and removes the front splitter for the snow. Nuf respec.

Just shows how good the 996 turbo, still the best turbo IMO

That Silver Turbo S with aerokit is a beautiful looking thing.

It would be just as astonishng if an M96/97 did a quarter of this mileage without any wear!

Amazing car the 996 turbo. Super cars have never been so accessible or reliable. One of Porsches finest hours.

The Mezger is probably the best street car engine Porsche has ever made.

Talk to any expert its the best, fine engine.

Fantastic.

And to think here in Blighty any Turbo with more than 50k on the clock is seen as high mileage

Damn, just reading the thread and there is also a Swiss dude with coming up 300k on his posting up. Both silver..must be the most reliable colour..

No probably about it!

400,000 mile 996tt whilst 991 GT3s with 0 miles are sitting at forecourts because they might catch fire!

Real bargain due to the looks!

I think they look fab. Not 993 , 964 , 930 good but very nice nonetheless. I remember when it first came out in 1999 or 2000 I was bowled over buy it. Shame about the interior though a full retrim in alcantara and GT2 buckets could fix all that

Don't agree fantastic in all areas and your comments obviously been sarcastic are subjective, best turbo made hands down.

Say no more and i own a 993 and the epic 996 turbo, runs rings around my 993 turbo trust me i find it amusing the shallow air headed air cooled 993 people on here who slag off the car that was voted the best supercar in the world at the time, mark my words the values will only go one way.

Any 400k miles 993 turbo's knocking around?

Doubt it....

993 is a tough old beast too. I love em and JC's car is one of the nicest I've seen. Juts look the biz in black (if you ever want to sell it JC pm me!). Can't argue with another post when the 996 turbo becomes retro cool (already is arguably but I think it still looks more modern than a 997 and 991 turbo personally in many ways especially in silver for some reason) they may start going up in price as good ones will become scarcer.
