You will read lots about this model of the 911 (called the 996) and see that it has a IMS bearing that fails and destroys the engine. And that is possible. About 5% 1999-2004 have failed. If you shop for a car that has maintenance records and you have the oil changed and check the filter for metal bits you should be ok. I chose this car carefully, then I took the car in and had the IMS bearing replaced with an aftermarket one with a warranty. This will cost an additional $3k, but it is worth it as a new engine will cost $10k+. The 911 model before the 996 is the 993, and one will run you 45 to 80k. The 911 model after the 996 is the 997 and one of those will run you 35 to 50k. That makes this model a bargain, and a very fun car to own.

the 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera is very fun to drive attention getter, also the convertible is the best on a summer day. Since I owned my first Porsche being the 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera has been the best car I have ever owned not only the handling of car and smooth ride, the best thing I love of my Porsche is that its very fast and holds its title. The car has not given me no problem's. the only thing I have to say if you can afford to buy a Porsche buy one you will love it just one thing maintenance like oil changes can be high priced. Or service for Porsche. Other then that just fun lots of fun .

Great car! Fun to drive and sexy. Classic styling and tons of power. Great for a weekend drive or daily driver. Something about a Porsche that always remains constant that is appealing. Would love to have a convertible, but the overall look is superb.

Overall, spectacular. Interior does not meet with expectations of the rest of the car.
