Highly successful though the new 996 was, it had a fatal flaw. Inside the guts of the fabulous new liquid-cooled flat six engine, lives an intermediate shaft (IMS) supported by a bearing. This bearing was incorrectly specced for a number of years and as a result can fail, leading to very expensive engine damage.

So it’s vital when considering any 996 that you check this bearing has been replaced with an uprated part.

This car has had its IMS bearing replaced, which means you don’t need to worry about it. Buying a 996 (or indeed a Boxster of similar vintage) without proof that this issue has been addressed is a gamble. But you’re on to a safe bet with this particular car.
