    A video of how the car's doing after a good clean and detailing would not be unwelcome! Gotta see how that paint and leather shines after all the dust's gone.

    I absolutely Love my OCT '98 built '99 year model 911 996 Carrera. 50 K on the clock with LN IMS and many new components. Outstanding car. I do love my old 1980 911 Carrera SC. But the '99 has COLD A/C !!! I live in the south I'm 72 and I need Cold A/C..

    Not stock sounding exhaust, but stock tips. Therefore perhaps Fister mod or Gundo hack on the stock mufflers. Great buy if the engine is healthy. A lot more can go wrong besides IMSB.

    My jump box and many others have a button for when the battery is below the minimum required for electrical connection. Push that button and the connection is made and you can get power to the battery. I plug mine into the cigarette lighter or the OBDII port and let the battery be able to open my frunk, then put on a charger to the battery and charge it to full, then start the engine.

    I got a free 996 C2 manual because the owner died while the car was disassembled. He took it apart to replace the IMS, unnecessary since it was a dual row and in perfect condition. For some reason he stopped working on it after getting the old one out and the car sat about 10 years. I put it back together and have been driving it for just over a year with no issues.

    Nice buy! The ticking is a concern…most people think it’s lifters but I’ve been burned by bore scoring….sounded just like yours…if the exhaust tips have unequal carbon or it’s burning oil, probably a good idea to bore scope. Good luck!

    • @frankieieie

    The hardtop alone has a decent value. They are rare and actually look sharp on the 996.
    The exhaust looks factory and sounds factory. Does it show PSE as an option? PSE is rare on all 911s.

  • @10amm21
    @10amm21 11 місяців тому +1

    During covid they had an incentive for some tax write offs on cars that were donated not sure on how much but it was well over the value of them and these older porsches people took advantage of the higher write off vs the sale value and paying taxes on the car. The cars then sit for 3-4 months before they are auctioned so thats why the batteries often die and then JR garage takes advantage of the auction companies not wanting to deal with it. What a steal of a car for 8k!

My car value can only go up, this one really won’t. A win win. What do you say young man. Mind you I just have a valve job since the timing belt went, $4,500 later, damn.
