That's it, really. They're very similar to the 997 underneath and they're still great cars. IMS bearing failure is rare and it's easy to prevent, but if it happens it destroys the entire engine.

Isn't a IMS bearing like 2-3 k at a dealer with warranty....and for 3k you probably get a new clutch while their down there...

Yeah, it's an easy fix when doing a clutch job. Part isn't expensive either.

fixed

Because the people that are responsible for the other 911's value stability don't want them and also don't want to be associated with 996 owners.

People do it without graphic editing.

holy crap. I wasn't aware of this.

There are even kits to swap an entire 997 front over.
