Dude! where's the 997 from the thumbnail? That was dishonest I would blacklist you for wrapping yours like that
Comment from : Madstoppie

U got to be proud proud proud to have 1 enjoy it every day as long as possible in my life I need a heavy duty truck
Comment from : Eric Hermann

Damn I wish you could still find a 997 for $30k 😔
Comment from : flavaflav1080

That wrap though 😢
Comment from : Dick Diver

Super cool enthusiasm Keep up the cool video Well this the first I watched and totally will watch more I have a Porsche racing soul even though I have only driven the green 911 GT3 RS in Las Vegas I need to get one in the future and I feel price point this is realistic brThanks again

Ma, you are far too loud - unnecessary !
Comment from : chris challis

Just get the 9972!
Comment from : kappaomegaphi

The first thing anyone without kids should do with a "4 seater" 911 is remove the rear seats, fit a harness bar, some fixed back seats, harnesses, and hit the track
Comment from : James

I just wonder where all the cars in most people reviews where they find cars so cheap every time I find a car that’s supposed to be $20k is around $30k or if they say $30k it’s more like $40k
Comment from : Joe Padilla

You ruined that 997…should have kept it stock All Porsches should be kept stock…other wise the resale goes to excrement

That yellow wrap is really ugly tho
Comment from : Abdulmajid Sanusi

I really wanted to watch this video but couldn’t make it 10 seconds with this guy’s annoying obnoxious voice
Comment from : peter fancher

I don't think the IMS bearing failure is 10 that seems very high brAnd although the PDK in the 9972 is easier to find, the first gen of that transmission wasn't great, much better than the tiptronic But they didn't get it really right until the 981 gen
Comment from : Brian Johnson

Looks really nice The shape is spot on However the 993 is still the most beautiful Porsche 911 and always will be
Comment from : Kombalar 2112

Why do people on YouTube take beautiful cars and ruin em lmao, like it’s a sport or competition to just make a beautiful car ugly
Comment from : Nathaniel Rivera

Great vid and your absolutely right on a PDK over a 6 speed in a 9972 I have a 996 TT 6 speed, 87 coupe manual, and a 2009 Carrera S with a PDK I would not pick a 6 speed over the PDK for the 9972 It an incredible transmission to say the least and a completely different driving experience, a different type of engagement in the end I love them all!!

Couldn't make it 5 seconds in
Comment from : Modular Output

Well I'm watching this video and its 2022 and I have a 07 Carrera 911 Cabriolet 4 it only has 22 thousand miles on it and a beautifully impressive burgundy color with tan interior like the one you have, I paid close to 50,000 Tough times to buy a used vehicle but when you know what you're looking for and you know the value of things, that's when you could possibly find something worth owning for a long time right now if I took this car and tried to sell it 3 States south of me I could probably make a clear $5,000
Comment from : Carlo Rizzo

Oh hey, I can see this park from my office! Just discovered your channel today Good stuff man This and your 996 video spoke to me, as I'm in the market for a new AWD driver-focused car now that my '02 bug-eye is pushing 215k miles
Comment from : Jaret

that roof box is blasphemy! Everyone here is now dumber for having to look at it I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul
Comment from : Oz101

Brad! you need to go more into details when you talk about 2006 IMS bearing it's not the same as 1999 to 2005 You are making it sound like they are all the same and that's not the case at all 2006 to 2008 is not even serviceable unless you split the case I spoke to a Porsche mechanic that's been working on these babies for over 20 years and he has only replaced 2 bearings on 2006 both times the car was tracked on a steady basis like your channel btw
Comment from : JC

Wish I would have known this a year ago These are going for high 30s now, and some in the 40s
Comment from : Brandon Price

the tackiest 997 in existence
Comment from : _el_louie_

I grew up with Porsche cause of my dad Sadly life wasnt very good to him and he lost all of his cars And now 15 years later i was able to buy my own 911 997 turbo The smile on his face while he Was driving undiscribable Porsche all the way Its not just a Car its a Lifestyle
Comment from : its_fenex

porsche are for small guys obsessed on MT kinds like me
Comment from : Mico Ferdinand 🇵🇭

Good luck finding a less than 30K now
Comment from : Mad Femur Fast

Not sure where you got that 10 engine failure rate from? For the IMS it's less than 1 IIRC, with pretty much zero of the larger updated IMS 2006 onwards Bore score is far more commonbrbrRegardless, I agree that the 997 is awesome, having had mine for nearly 2 years and just ticked over 20k miles in that time I honestly can't think what car next, and will likely enjoy it for years and years!

I just got a 2010 Porsche Carrera 6MT for 48k Well maintained and clean carfax Is this good price? Love the car so far 7 previous owners and records show they maintained at the dealer Last owner had traded it in to get a Range Rover Just liked and subscribed
Comment from : A Motorcycle Rider

I'm the very happy original owner of a 2006 Carrera 4 (36 manual) with over 110,000 miles on it I agree with most of what you say and it was interesting to hear you say that the 38 has a higher IMS failure rate than the 36 However, I am not sure whether that LN engineering kit can be installed for $2,500 Pretty sure the 2006 36 has to be completely disassembled to install the LN bearing
Comment from : Jim C

Heads up, 05 cars need the IMS but the 06-08's are not IMS serviceable unless you open the engine Porsche did DOUBLE the IMS size for 06-08 (and they do not fall) cars PLUS, the 38 is a MUCH MUCH interesting proposition than the 36 And you do feel the difference Why stating such great facts but also neglecting the main difference ? You get better brakes and everything And Automatics are not the way to go on 911's specially 997's

I bought a 2010 9972 Carrera S manual for just under 40k 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it!

I bought a 2007 997 Carrera S a year ago with only 23k miles The dealer I bought it from offered me the exact amount I paid for it a year later Ideal Deal I would say
Comment from : Ron Dayley Realtor Clarksville TN

Awesome video Subscribed! I too had a 32 Carrera and am now lusting after a 997 With PDK I live in Seattle as well Enjoy that great car

Good review, now I am really tempted to look up a good used 997 and pretend that I am comfortable financially, with good credit history 🤣

Great cars! But this one is f#&*in awful!
Comment from : steve watson

IMS Bearing was substantially improved in the 997, compared to the 996 Yes, it is still there but a much less worry
Comment from : ROBERT DAVIS

The IMS bearings on most 997 M97 engines post Feb/Mar of 2005 are the newer larger single row bearing and cannot be serviced easily, unlike the IMS bearings on early 2005 997s and 996s which you can replace easily with the LN solution However, those larger bearings are more robust and the failure rate is lower The bigger problem is bore scoring Due to the metallurgy of the cylinder linings, bore scoring is a problem more often found on 997s in cold weather climates Apparently when it is really cold the pistons no longer fit properly inside of the cylinder, so don’t start your 997s when its really cold This was also potentially exacerbated by some mid-western winter fuel blends that at idle was washing away the oiling So just be careful when shopping for a 9971, get the bores examined if possible I ultimately found an opted for a higher mileage 9972 (S with 6-speed manual) A high mileage 9972 is relatively close in price to a low mileage 9971 If equal in miles, the 9972 will be up to $20k more, but you get a more powerful (30hp in the S) direct injected engine without bore scoring or IMS issues and you get more modern infotainment electronics They didn’t make as many 9972s and manuals are more rare, but worth looking for Great cars either way!
Comment from : alangil40

American tan interiors are awful end of !!! I'm glad I'm in uk where we get black ,black is the new black !!!
Comment from : guinnesslover

2006-2008 997 have the larger “non-replaceable” IMSB You have to split the case to install The IMS Solution It will cost a LOT more than $2500 for those cars Better to buy a 996 or 2005 997 and install the IMS Solution
Comment from : TexSquirrel

If you don’t mind me asking, what roof rack and cargo box is that? It looks absolutely amazing!
Comment from : Biscuits_Stunts

I bought an 06 Carrera Cabriolet from the 2nd owner in 2019 (full dealer records, 6 speed, & 96k miles) for $18,500 It was a daily driver that wasn’t owned by an enthusiast so door dings & mildly worn interior - but mechanically in great shape It’s been 18 mos of glorious ownership & the car has been utterly reliable This is my first Porsche & has converted me to Pcars The deals are out there, you just gotta be diligent & jump on good examples that are priced right
Comment from : Chris Bodley

Good luck replacing a 9971 ims for 250000 The case needs to be split on these

Under 30 00?! They're 45 000 here in Sweden
Comment from : Felix Jonsson

It's so great, Porsche cancelled it because of the utterly ATTROCIOUS, deadly handling and replaced it with the front engine V8 928, which was the best Porsche of all time Unfortunately, thats not saying much, these are all VWs afterall

Cmon man let’s get real you’re not getting a clean 997 911 for 25k
Comment from : Cole Trick

Car and driver placed the e92 m3 over the 997 and GTRonly real car guys remember that!!! They said it was more balanced, sounds better and more useable and way more fun to drive!!
