I have noticed that 1999ish 996s are selling for less than 993s (at least locally). Makes me think these are sleepers.
Any reason to avoid a 1999 996 as a weekend driver? I know there were some issues, but I imagine by now everything has been sorted out.
I see people claiming about $2500/yr in maintenance costs - Does that sound about right? (couldn't be worse than my 83 928S :D )
Interestingly, consumer reports has some reliability data on 97-06
911s. The 97 993 had a near perfect reliability score. The 99 wasn't as good, but still doesn't look too bad. No link - you need a subscription. Sadly, 993s are creeping out of my price range.TIA.
