Thought we had it in the bag with a nice ( not the colour we wanted Black ) Silver 996 Turbo Cab 2002/3 ish era.
Only to find out ( phew that's to having a PPi ) that second gear pops out all the time. No wonder the seller wasn't keen on having the car PPi'd
That's two 996 Turbo Cabs running around London for sale that are junk and the fund for purchase has taken another hit.
Still better £250 than £2500 for a gearbox rebuild!
So as I had never heard of gear box issues with 996's before is this common!!
I'm starting to think these 996's are fragile heaps of junk!!!!! and there's me selling off early Porsche's to buy newer for a turn key experience. I'm thinking I am better getting a " Cheap Fast Ford " for weekend fun and keeping all the early Porsches and forget the water cooled Porsches never existed!
