"Cheapest entry to 911 ownership."
Cheapest entry to 911 ownership. Water-cooled flat-six, rear-engine chassis, still drives like a 911. The IMS bearing issue scared the market down — GT3/GT2 variants unaffected.
Watch out for
- IMS bearing failure (pre-2006 dual-row 95% safe, single-row 2000–2004 higher risk)
- Rear main seal leaks
- Bore scoring on 3.6L
