Then watch my 4 part video series with PCA. Just Google "PCA IMS" and it'll pop up.

 

 

^^^This^^^^ This discussion is beat to death, there has to be over 100 threads on here alone, let alone other porsche forums and google. If IMS issues scare you do not buy Porsches of this era.

Ah, the welcome committee comes out swinging.

 

You've been around long enough, it used to be brutal!

 

Answer - 2009 or later 997.

Ahhhh yea! What did I win?

 

Excluding race produced cars, the Porsche 986 Boxster that went into production in 1996 was the first water cooled Porsche? Of course, the 996 was the first 911 to be water cooled. Aircooled Porsches are closer to the original Porsche DNA and good luck finding a deal on those... prices have shot through the roof.

 

The Boxster was the first watercooled flat 6 road car.
But Porsche built watercooled cars for years before the Boxster.
924, 944, 928 were all water cooled.
So they built watercooled road cars way back in 1976.

 

Thank you, Tex! I know now not to mess with texas! hahaha!

 

Advice to newbies, don't ask IMS questions as your first post in the 996 forum.
