That's what I've always heard but I've got about 12k miles on my Dunlops and they look just fine yet. I'm hoping for at least 20k miles out of them, which seems reasonable to me.

Clearly you need to drive you car harder!

It was actually $13k.

With GT3s changing hands at $42k there is no way an '02 is worth $35k. IMHO

I think you'd get more realistic 996 prices from the 944 forum

I noticed various nice ones in the US market, but i'm picky and i'm waiting for the right one!

I missed out on a great deal, Lapis blue on grey interior 2002 with 35k miles on it. Asking price was 35k but i'm sure the buyer bought it for less since it was lurking around in the AutoTrader for a while!

Amazing cars, can't wait for the right one to come around!

You missed mine! A perfect 3450 mile 2004. Sold this weekend!!
