]]> Comment on Why are dealer 996 prices lower than private? by Phil http://www.findaporsche.com/?p=714&cpage=1#comment-182 Phil Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:33:25 +0000 http://www.findaporsche.com/?p=714#comment-182 That's a very low-mileage car you've found there. The colour could make it hard to sell, though. Tiptronic 996s tend to be less popular than manuals, hence they are often cheaper. That’s a very low-mileage car you’ve found there.

Porscheshop sells LED 996 rear lights and I saw some recently on a car fitted with a 997 front and they really did help to update the rear end. So, yes, they're worth getting. Phil Hi

Yeah think the auto shifter in those was the old style T-shift bar wasn't it? Tiptronics look better but with where I live going back to full manual next time...

No idea what was specced at the factory, but somebody stuck their head under it at a show and commented it had fatter ARBs. Didn't feel like the lowly 150bhp either, if shifted & then some. As an occasional driver of it, the auto meant could just concentrate on driving it, upset some bigger stuff in the odd traffic light drag race too, never a fluffed change. Stupidly he wrote it off and got a 944S manual, but it never felt as good or fast as the old 924S. Dad had a 87 924S 3spd Auto, that was epic (at least compared to my mk2 GTi at time).
