Reply to "The real deal 356 coupe"

The IMS and RMS are the things with that engine that are freaking everyone out. And Porshce did a terrible job of customer service when they started going bad. So slab side design, and engine that blows up, stick Mexican radio knobs, etc.. But all that is to your advantage. You can preemptively have both RMS and IMS replaced for $2k. And because of the bad rap, prices have dropped to the $20k range for a clean 996. (I had a Targa . Over 300hp, stuck to the road, no fumes, cold ac, hot heat, ....and it was kick ass.) I bet the 996,  goes the way of the 964. When the 964 came out in 1990, everyone hated it. It had a problem with the dual distributor. You could find them cheeeeap. Now you would be pressed to find a clean one for under $40k.
