what is an 'early' 3.4 996?

Christ you could part it out for more than that. Great buy and colour scheme

Agree. I wonder how long it will take to sell.

I am considering selling mine - probably next year - for a 991 S, so I have a vested interest in the values.

Thanks for the info, i understand the relays are within the 996 seats but in the relay panel of the 997. Did you simply remove the 996 relays from the seats and locate under the 997 ones? Its a shame for me that the front seats arent black or i'd try and twist your arm to sell separately

Best of luck!

Yes the relays and on mounts that clip to the bottom of the 996 seats, the clips are different on the 997 so I cable tied the 996 clips to the 997 seats. I thought that better than leaving the relays loose and wrapping them to prevent rattling incase they got too hot due to the wrapping.

That is ridiculously cheap. Looks like a good car. Wow

Looks like a nice car but the MOT history is a bit colourful! Previous advisories from 2021/2022 suggest rotten front chassis rails...

Seems to be quite a few early C2 manuals popping up on Facebook marketplace at the moment.

These two are up for £14k before haggling:

And another closer to £16k:

Very nice. I'm such a fan of the red interior, too.

Price has gone up

I'd be very wary of the state of the drivers seat, slight glimpse in one of the phots, but phot of the seat noticeably absent.....

I think that one might be ex-threadist and was on here in 2018.

yes, but my logic is that if you buy it that cheap, you have a few grand "more" to play with to bring it to the standard you want.

I did this.

I paid just £8900 for my 996 in May 2020 but have subsequently spend around £3500 on it, resulting in a tidy car that owes me £12.4k

That £3500 includes a new set of alloys and carbon fibre mirror caps which cost around around £1300 for both.

Yes, me too, paid £10K in 2022, spent way more getting it to where I wanted it to be, rather I spent the money, on what I wanted rather than someone else's 'rebuild'.

I was simply pointing out that, at that price, there will be quite a lot to put right.......even if it doesn't show itself immediately. But I suspect we all know that!
