I'd love a special car that I don't feel bad doing a snowboard trip to whistler in. The e36 can do that, but I want something that does what the e36 does that isn't the e36.

No bore scoring on 996s, that's a 997 thing and definitely a big reason I'm not as interested in them. IMS can be dealt with. Bore scoring is rebuild time and I've heard it's like years waits to get good builders to deal with it.

As much as I hate the C8... getting one brand new below MSRP is a good deal.
I can't afford it, and just like someone mentioned, I am just... not into the styling, and + if I were to pay this amount of money for anything 4 wheels, I will take the slower 3 pedal option.. so that kinda just eliminates the C8 hahahaha
(the only exceptions to the 3 pedal rule toy car is a 458, LFA and ..........R35... I still cant comprehend how a R35 drives... no matter how many times I drive one)...
Having said all that... Mid engine NA V8 with these performance numbers + a full warranty under 100K so it skirts the Luxury tax is most defn a bargain in today's market.

It has the same random shit breaking as a BMW that I love and I do everything with it. Friend's moving? Need a truck? The Civic Type R can do it. No sound deadening though but you can fit a family in it

Bore scoring is more of a 997.1 thing, especially Canadian-based cars. 996 isn't really known for bore scoring unless owner really neglects the car, but ones mileage may vary so it's always good to do your due diligence. You are right about the Mezger engines being the exception.

Fair enough. Perhaps I was confusing with the IMS issue.. it has been a while since I looked into it.

I've honestly never heard of someone with the issue on the 996, and I've spent a lot more time reading about them than 997s over the years.

Sell the E30 to me. I’ll drive it on gravel and salt lol! Everything can be fixed! Honestly though, and S54 E30 Touring would be way cool… and you wouldn’t have to feel bad about bagging on it.
I’m finding out quickly with a growing family I need a 4 seater fun car. Porsche would do well, and for some reason I feel the urge for a stupid convertible…. Yet every time I’m in one I want the top up. Hahaha.

That's the other factor is the family thing. I want to take my daughter in the car often. I feel totally comfortable doing that in the e36, but the e30 is too far down the safety ladder. I know the e36 is a can as well, but it's like a corrugated 2.84L tomato paste can where the e30 is like a pop can lol.

Personally, having owned a 996 and 986, I feel IMS is a bit overblown. Just find a car/owner who does routine oil changes and drives the car regularly.

How much are e30 worth? You don't even see them for sale. I assume they didn't make many. E36 e46s are still $20000 $25000

not many "good buys" in the local Porsche scene yet. It's coming, but dudes are still holding out
This C4S has been for sale for a few weeks. Personally it doesn't bother me that the IMS hasn't been done - but it's a layup for negotiation. There's actually a set of arctic silver hardback seats for sale right now too. Would fix what this car is missing - to me anyways. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...3940448266808/
BTW - bore scoring is just as prevalent in the M96 as the M97. Maybe it's overshadowed by the 996 IMS so people don't talk about it as much?
No matter what - spend the 500 bucks and get it scoped.
4 years of pain free ownership w my 996. It's been a wonderful car to own.

Anyone ever own a Panamera? I could see that being an illogical daily which can still pull a boat. Roof rack and I can haul a couple sheets of plywood to boot.
