Of course! Yes, if I had a bit more money (haha), I think I’d trade my Carrera in for one. Here’s the thing though, they are getting on for twice the price of my car and I’m not convinced they are twice the car. Hmm. Maybe.

Fortunately for all 996 types - good condition 996s are going to have bottomed out and will hold their value.

It can’t be that I have, for once in my life, bought something at the bottom of the market, surely?!

Its the mezger engine your are paying for. Also if you upgrade the turbos and intercollers the engine can handle up to 900bhp.

Yes, the mezger is a work horse. I feel like everywhere I turn there is pressure to modify I have a 3 year plan and I want to stick to it.

Another excellent video Jay. It was most enjoyable. One minor slip- you forgot to mention that the 996 Cab could be ordered with a removable hard top.
In my opinion you are going to see 996s really appreciate in value in the not too distant future.
