Default Need an owners manual for 2001 996

Where is the best place to get a new owners manual for a 2001 996? Porsche does not have any and will not print any until much later this year. Does not have to be new, but at least clean. Any ideas appreciated

Been looking for one myself. Suncoast doesn't have them and Porsche is on national backorder.

If you are a contributing member at renntech.org you can download the 2003 manual in PDF here (login required):

It's very similar for all of the 996 model years.

I have a 2002 version, but it is slightly different from the 2001. It came with my car and a different build sheet attached and the vin# was changed to mine. Strange but all the ID and service records are correct.

Could even swap my 2002+ for a 2001 version if someone is interested. Let me know.

Ordered mine through my local dealer and it ran about $25 but took several months to receive. Way cheaper than other outlets and I was surprised they didn't jack up the price.

This link doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone got a lead to pdf versions for a 2000 996?

My 99 came with a 2001 owners manual. I just acquired a 2000 manual that is much more relevant to my car. I would sell my 2001 manual for what I paid for my 2000 manual. PM me if interested.
