That 996 was in great shape! Looks like it was well taken care of and your are the equivalent of a drug dealer... your friend got his first fix and will be hooked since he got in cheap on a well loved and cared for example.

Nice find! We all know the last real 911 were the 993s. Every pcar owner feels that about their model being the last real 911. I had a 993 when both the 996 and seven came out. Hearing horror stories about the 996, front headlight design and the iM bearing failures and Porsche,s lack of care to fix the problem made me stay away, among other reasons - kids. My 993 was as reliable as our land cruiser, until she met an untimely death. I am very happy you are in a 991. They are incredible. Enjoy! Btw, great color! I got weather tech floor mats to deal with our mud issues.
Understand the 996 phobia. Like many models they have their issues but my experience, like your's with the 993, was all positive. I drove that 996 every chance I had and it never let me down.
BTW. Sorry to hear of your 993's untimely ending. Hopefully it went out the way it was intended....driving down the road.
