Let's hear it for these little beauties! Is my car on its own out there? I've got a 911 c2 convertible with 165k miles, no engine rebuild and goes really well. I do get the odd leak:-) but nothing serious.
I think these cars are rock solid, I drive mine like I've stolen it every time I drive it. I'd like to hear other positive stories. Or not depending on your point of view....
Cheers

Mine has just ticked over to 40,000 miles so its probably worth the square root of f-all now!

How much its 'worth' will be the last thing on my mind this weekend when I am blasting through Wales and Snowdonia biggrin

You guys just probably contributed to a strong case of early 996s being quite reliable cars.

Mine on 125K now. Mot'd, new coil packs and runs very well.

Mileage won't increase as long as it's in storage and I am overseas frown
