I’d drive both a C2 and a Turbo. I don’t think the Turbos are as fun, really rapid bits of kit, just not as enjoyable 99% of the time
Agreed. I’ve got a 996.1 C2 manual and I’ve driven a 996 Turbo and whilst the latter is an impressive beast it’s just not as engaging as mine is. ATM said:

This brings us onto price. I've no idea what your car is worth but you might not necessarily get into one of these cars and make money in the transaction. The FGP car above is 34 grand. Can you achieve 34 grand for your current car? If you are thinking there are cars around for 15 grand then I'd say you need to forget that idea. Even tips are selling for almost 20 now. There are not many 96 - 98 manual C2 coupes around for sale. Especially if you start being picky about colours or sunroof delete. Then you need to think about wear and tear and stuff which needs sorting if you want to experience these cars at their best.....
Really? There are 9 on A/T for under £15k, none of them category repaired; filtered to under 125k miles:This brings us onto price.

Can anyone else hear their coolant "gurgling" around the front passenger side after you ruen the engine off (once it's warm/hot)? Mine's started doing it recently, not sure if it's something to be concerned about. Coolant level/condition is fine.
Get the A/c re-gassed, as odds on it's low.julian987R said:

But up close its very tatty. Rust, dents and scratches.
One of the things I like about 996 is that even just a couple of subtle mods can allow you to put your own stamp on them. Mine was pretty bland I guess but a change of wheel and mirror colour had quite an impact visually. Obviously this is all subjective but it’s the basic shape that’s so nice. The only other visual changes I’d make are yellow brake callipers and a slightly lower ride height. I’d like a ducktail but I simply can’t afford one.
Only thing I didn’t like about 996 was that you couldn’t backdate them as you could with 964 and previous generation. Thankfully I see them differently nowadays and they’ve become more ‘classic’ (for want of a better phrase) in their own right.
