Hi all,
I have had a 996 for 10 years (currently in the for sale section) and looking to move to a 997 but on a budget. Seen a couple of 997's for around £20k, 3.6 & 3.8.
Naturally I will have a solid look around and maybe employ a 3rd party but I think my main questions are:
3.6 / 3.8 - The 3.8s do feel pokier and I like the option of the sports suspension setting (which was an option I know on the 3.6) - are there any major advantages / disadvantages in terms of servicing / reliability?
I have seen an excellent looking 3.8 with 100k on the clock with FSH and a 3.6 (basic spec) with 49k on the clock. Visually and driving they both feel totally 100%.
I am not put off by the miles as I have taken my 996 to 120 relatively trouble-free.
Is a high mileage 997 to be avoided or just with caution?
And, one last minor point - can a factory Sat Nav be retro-fitted fairly easily and cost-effective?
Thanks in advance and looking forward to moving forums soon!
