One other observation I'll throw out. Porsche people seem to have a misguided attitude towards the 996. Partially because of the air-cooled vs water, and maybe because it was somewhat mass-produced. I don't know... But the average person looking at the car couldn't care less. Non-Porsche people just viewed it as another 911 and had no clue what the differences were between model years. Those buyers just wanted a Porsche.
Another thought as to the hard time selling is probably just the shear number of 996's available, vs the 993/964/etc. More of a buyers market where potential buyers can be picky about getting just the right options for them. At least that's how we were when we first bought the car. At the end of the day it was a great car that we had a lot of fun with.

The C4S did have a catastrophic engine failure but luckily the C2 remained in full service and kept me from jonesing.
