Here's a 1999 996 C2 with slightly less than 68,000 miles. The car holds a California salvage title but there is no Carfax history to explain why. I own a body shop and we cannot tell why the car would have been salvaged, the only evidence of any body work is a driver's side quarter panel and rear bumper cover which have been repainted. The paint work does not extend into the door jamb and there is no evidence of tub repairs anywhere, no marks where a puller was used or evidence of any replaced suspension parts. It aligned perfectly and has held that alignment for the last 7000 miles of driving.

The car was purchased at a dealer auction in Texas then brought to California. It was bought by a dealer for his son but the son decided to buy another car. I bought it from the dealer with all the auction paperwork and the Texas salvage title. I have used the car as my daily driver and parts chaser for the last 7000 plus miles and the car runs and drives great, no issues. I have not done anything but change oil and replace the rear tires.

The car is bone stock except for the CCW wheels (I don't want to sell them separately) and a set of H&R Sport springs, which I installed here at my shop. It also has a Kenwood stereo with a CD changer in the trunk. There are a considerable number of small stone chips on the nose and someone closed the hood on something leaving a small pointed dent facing outwards. The struts that hold the hood up need replaced, the console lid is missing and the remote locks are not working. Otherwise the car is quite clean overall, the interior is very nice with no rips or tears in the seats and everything else works. The front tires are 245/40/18 Blacklions with 7000 miles and the rears are 315/30/18 Pirelli P Zeros with 900 miles.

The car has no leaks and I have no evidence to suggest the IMS bearing was done. However, after doing all the research myself I decided it was not worth the time and effort to replace it, especially considering the car is a 1999.

It has been a good car and very reliable, also handles great and the gearing is absolutely perfect. This has been my first Porsche and overall I have been impressed with the car.

An ebay member Googled the VIN for this vehicle and discovered the following information, some of it conflicting. I am listing everything both he & I found but I cannot vouch for any of it to be true. The only information I know to be true is what I have described above.

1. A 1999 996 Carrera 2 108,xxx miles bearing this vehicle VIN was sold at a wholesale auction in May of 2013.
2. A 1999 996 Carrera 2 with 61,xxx miles bearing this vehicle VIN was sold at a wholesale auction in July of 2013.
3. A 1999 996 Carrera 4 with 108,xxx miles bearing this vehicle VIN was sold at a wholesale auction in May 0f 2013.
4. An AutoCheck report was run on this vehicle and there was very limited information available, however it does show a mileage reading of 61,xxx miles in May of 2013.

Obviously, some of this is true and some is not. I am sharing this information in the interest of being totally transparent.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
