When I purchased my 02 it had 28K on it. The PO used it as a daily driver in Columbus, OH. Fortunately he didn't drive it in the snow. From the service records he did an RMS and had the CD changer replaced. Not bad for 28K of daily miles. I just drove to NC to take a trip on the Tail of the Dragon and didn't think twice about reliability issues.

OTH I had a 96 993 which had the AC go out, all of the air circualtion functions die, alarm from hell, ABS problems, steering rack fail. All at 60K.

 

996's not reliable? Read some European magazines and you'll see how they are usually described as bulletproof. That's why I bought mine after having several M-Bs with reliability issues; I wanted a dependable daily driver!

 

What's the going price for a 3.6 996 engine?

 

Amigo, I have been using my Black Beauty 03-996 Targa as a Daily Driver for the past three years, Rain, Snow, Shine, 44K miles and not a PROBLEM !

I don't know what those guys are talking about, my brother using his 996 TT also daily.

 

17,000 miles and only one problem... car broke down once outside a gas station... called up roadside, came and towed it free of charge.. took dealer 2 days to fix the problem.. all covered under warranty. other than that i drive my '04 4S to work everyday in nyc

 

I use my 2001 c2 everyday Summer and Winter with 74,000km so far I did the RMS, Brake, tires, belt tension and reg maintance. I will say this is reliable great car to drive.

 

That's a good point and I agree....

 

7000 Miles in 4 months on my daily driven GT3 with no problems. I look forward to my drive to work every morning.

 

hm.. a little off topic but when you guys say.. i did rms... what does that mean?!?! how do i check if i need to do RMS or not?

 

Rear Main Seal. Is your car leaking?
