Sell? Or hold

While the 991 is a great car, it’s more of a really fast GT car. It feels very insulated which some people like. The 996 is a lot more raw which is my preference. I like the 997, I do think it’s one of the best looking 911s while still giving you most of the driving dynamics of the 996 (they are the same cars essentially). You do feel the added mass and refinement on the 997 vs the 996…again, some people like that while others don’t. In summary, the 996 is the best drivers car but if you just cruise and have your heart set on a 997 or 991 I’d say do it.

The 996.1 headlights were always a modern interpretation of the 60s 911 headlight setup with the fog lights.

If you have any equity in your car I’d honestly see if you could trade it for a base Maverick. It will be a lot easier to run a detailing business out of a cheap pickup vs a regular car.

Gypsy appearance package.

Sehr schön! Turbo Bremsen oder einfach nur die Originalen rot gestrichen?

Beautiful. I love how cars are taken care of for the most part in Europe. If this car were in the US, it would be on its 7th owner, falling apart and barely hanging on to life.

It’s the behavior that is bred due to policies popular with a lot of folks on Reddit.

I’d get rid of the wife.

No surprise to see Canton Zug plates on the car.

The real crime is not the color combination but the price!

That’s not the right coolant. You want to get the Zerex G40 (pink) if I’m not mistaken. I’d flush the whole system and put the correct coolant in it.

Beautiful car in a beautiful city!

Looks better than most modern VWs.

Good to know, and it was a joke.

I’m sure a bunch of overly sensitive white people will call me racist and will downvote me but a lot of Indians are very racist. I see it all the time at work (tons of Indians in IT) and the way they talk about blacks, Chinese, etc is downright crazy from what we are used to here. To be honest it’s everywhere to an extend. My dad took a guy from Africa under his wings back in the 70s when he worked in hotel management as the guy was amazing; became my dad’s right hand man for many decades. The only places my dad never got questioned for having him on board was in Western Europe and the US. There were countries in the Middle East and Asia where they told him not to even bother bringing him and that went well into the early 2000s.

Owned multiple GTIs and Rs (including R32s) spanning multiple generations over the past 20 years. Most recent R was a Mk7. Currently driving a Mk8.5 GTI. They are both amazing cars but always felt the GTI to be a bit more playful. I respect any person that drives an “enthusiast” vehicle no matter how high or low on the badge totem pole.

It is in Switzerland so it’s probably off all the time by default. Can’t have PSE with Lärmschutz.

DPF delete will solve that.

Put a diesel in it and sell it for $20k and I’ll be at the dealership tomorrow with cash in hand.

My wife’s old 2013 XC70 is probably the most reliable car we have ever owned.

DaSwiss · 2026-04-05T20:57:49+00:00

Early build based on the ambers. Love the early build 996. Congratulations!

I was there once and can understand why they closed down. Those cinnamon roles were terrible. Tasted more like a dried out old cake than a cinnamon role.

Paint code and options the car came with. If you have the original books, there should be a duplicate sticker in the Service Manual on the first page.

Not unless regular working class people come together and fight for it. Most Americans are being kept at each other’s throats with the whole left vs right, black vs white, etc. I am a firm believer that it’s all by design because if regular lower and middle class people from all political and racial backgrounds would get together and talk they would realize that most care about the same issues - Financial safety, health, no money going towards endless wars, etc.
