Ownership & buying
Common issues
- Generally considered very reliable, especially compared to non-Turbo 996 variants, thanks to its robust Mezger engine.
- Potential issues can include coolant pipe failures (often addressed by now) and wear on suspension components due to age and performance demands.
Considerations
- Thorough pre-purchase inspection by a Porsche specialist is crucial, focusing on engine, transmission, and suspension.
- Ensure a comprehensive service history, especially for major maintenance items like coolant pipe upgrades.
- Factor in potentially higher running costs for premium fuel, specialist servicing, and performance-oriented tyres.
