GT3 and TTs don't have the problem, its a different engine.

It would be a big difference, but are you sure StephenB's post referred to km? His post didn't specify, and the location was listed as Virginia.

Yes I got the engine from my dealer. List price is $6767 for engine and $2100 for core which you get back if you return an engine that's in relatively good shape.

Clarification...mileage for my 1999 996 is 94k miles not kilometers. I drive the 996 daily all year (including winter) just as I did with my previous 911.



Don't worry about resale! Calculate by pleasure per mile Seems cheap...
