Fracture

a regular diet of money shifts and visits to the rev limiter still bring hope of a FSI 4.0, ya gotta dream big !!

I'm at 36K miles, IMS Solution, and no mods except for a double-DIN stereo. Oh, and a few easily reversible ones (carbon fiber side mirrors, I have the original shells, 997-look rear LED tail lamps, I have the originals, and Fister exhaust).

I'm super happy that the values are holding up. I'm not thinking I'll ever MAKE money on this car, just nice to know I'm not losing money every day it sits in the garage (grin).

Yes, all my mods are reversible and I too have all original parts.

Wife has been told this is a collector car with great value.

I love to show her these threads.

keep it up.

Maybe make a few good stories about how the 996 is not the ugly duck and POS the aftermarket part seller trolls like us to believe.

On the road again after my "off road adventure". Should make 400k this summer!

Hal

WOW! Congratulations. I did realize any 996 had gone this far, much less an AE.

Are you running the original motor?

Bows down...
WOW! I'm about to turn over 100K! I hope to be where you are some day!

Hal

Is the paint on our cars a clear coat, or a single stage?

I did a search but couldn't find an answer. Thanks!

sasilverbullet

Porsche hasn't used a single stage paint in decades.

Hal

Thanks for the info. Guess I am still rooted in 45+ years of air-cooled ownership. 😀

In regards to collectors value, the 30th AE 964 have skyrocketed in value which are more of cosmetic differences compared to 40th, so I won’t be surprised if 40th can climb up in value.

In 2012 I bought a ‘91 964 for $12000CAD, back then people were not too crazy about them. 911SC were more or less the same price range as well, and look where these cars are in terms of value now!

But I agree that these cars should be bought for enjoyment and fulfilling dreams, otherwise it will be a miserable ownership thinking about when it will make money.

Please keep posting the collector value of our 40th cars so I can show my wife!

I need more mods...

Few more miles going to Porsche USA 928 event!

I have a 2004 Anniversary Edition car and had Koni FSDs installed on all four corners. Alignment shop said the fronts are too tall and the best he can set the camber at is 0 degrees. I believe spec is -1 degree camber correct.? End result is the front end wanders and the steering just feels loose especially at high speeds. I have read countless reviews that the FSD is direct replacement. Is it possibly related to the AE M03/ ROW option or do I need to find another alignment shop?
