*literally*. I help one of my neighbors that has a '99 cab change his oil and will be doing his brakes. Knows his way around a computer, but a newb with tools.

I actually like the gray interior. Strong early 2000s vibes. It suits a car from the era well and fits with the overall millennium era esthetics of the car. Black might look more “current” but I think these cars are best enjoyed when you embrace their outdated-ness.

seize the day, it’s y2k baby!!!! Better times, before coronavirus and wokeness took hold

Vogue magazine says y2k style is coming back!!

Cabs aren't my thing but that's a cheap C4S manual
It's just too bad widebody C4S are so damn ugly. I'd never drive an awd underpowered pig that plows through corners anyway

Maybe it's just me, but those seats look like they have seen some water.

I also liked it when not everyone was on the internet. The last good days.

aside from mileage, roof-type is the most influential on price of 996. (more so than transmission, model year or options)

It seems the one thing that everyone can agree on is that cabs are worth less.

Oh that's alright, please don't worry, it takes a bit of experience, perhaps some training.or Driver's Ed would be helpful.

Ok fine, a cheap shot. But on this forum it probably isn't useful to hear constant complaints and tearing down of other's 996s. There probably isn't a benefit to anyone at all by talking down about other people's 996s. It's time that we 996 owners admit we are still the bottom of the barrel in 911s, and probably will be for some time, so perhaps a bit of solidarity would be useful. Sure prices will rise, but there won't be a miracle. Please understand that each of us has an absolutely outstanding car, so why is there so much writing about which 996 is the most special, or picking on details, or which 996s are less desirable? Perhaps 996 owners who are participating in the "prices keep drifting up" might consider a more positive attitude.
