Default 996 Turbos. Talk to me.

Been lurking around on a few forums of late as I've sold the M3 and hoping to get into one of these beasties next.

Seen a few usernames I recognise from here that have moved the same way.

Any do's/don'ts from owners past or present? I've done a fair bit of reading up on them so far but interested in owner experiences.

Cheers!

Replacent Clutches rads manifold studs are some of the bits to look out for ....

If it has been well maintained and serviced , that sort of milage should not cause any problems.
Its well worth getting an inspection carried out on any car your interested in , someone like Peter Morgan will charge £300 but can save you ££££
