Hello,
Thinking of one of the increasingly tempting 996 Turbos that are hovering around 55k for a 2000-2001 car.
However, other than having driven a 2003 Carrera 4 and liking the experience, I'm a 911 virgin, I don't really know what I'd be getting into. Hence can some owners shed some light?
I'm guessing that a 2001 Turbo should be fairly reliable and livable with day to day, but could you offer to fill in the blanks below?
Buy RHD 996 Turbo 2001, with PCM etc. - 55k
Run for 2 years: take milage from 30,000 - 50,000
Need new rear tyres / brakes / exhaust: £?
Servicing, how many/often, how much?
Possible repairs / nasty surprises ???
Trade in Value after 2 years??
Any other tips/warnings?
