I have been browsing and soaking up everything I can about the 964, 993 and 996 models now for about a month and am just about to make the plunge. I have a hankering for a 1999 996, but have this nagging feeling that there is a history of 996 engine blow-ups that lies hidden in the murky depths.
Is an early 996 an engine risk. I've worked on engines since I was 13 years old, but have been trying to avoid it in the last couple of years. The thought of spending 30k on a 911, only to have the damn thing blow up and everybody saying "should have bought a 993" makes me shiver........plus the grief I would get from the missus.
Is it a big risk....or is it overstated.
