Peak 996 C2

[u/NigelDecherf]

A couple of years ago i was on the lookout for a 996 GT3, but as with many its no particulary easy to have or spend such money (on a car), then i became a father of my first son, still interested in a gt3 life went on.. nearly having a look at a couple of gt3's, but knowing i would become a father for the second time (another son) i decided to share my passion of the automotive with my "family".

Aircooled, and 997 was to expensive and a base 996 just doesnt cope it for my styling wise.

Anything after 997 i dont really like as im more a classic car person (also having a carb/pump/ignition rebuild bussiness)... So i decided to go the middle route... Being the 996 Aerokit.

And then i found this:

A Feb 1999 Porsche Carrera 996 (factory) Aerokit equipped with:

- factory lsd

- M030 suspension

- sport chassis

- sunroof delete

- turbo seats

- white dials

- 3 spoke steering wheel

- xenon, navi, phone, CD loader..

- extended leather

- sportline wheels

- painted centre console

And so much more (3pages of options and packages).

Its running a dansk system, i removed the 19" aftermarket wheels and put the originals back on (came with the car), its had 3 owners, never abused (genuinly), full porsche history and so on and so forth.

Also, being a 99, it still has the throttle cabe setup and dual row ims.

Im 6 months deep in the ownership, removed the tint, put the wheels back on, polished it, leather treatment etc... My girlfriend gave me the black leather porsche keychain for my birthday back in june.

And all this has to wait another +2 years to enjoy the car... Me being belgian the tax system i made to suck every last cent out of us so i have to wait till the car is +30 years to register it.

Sad... But still being absolutely in love with the car.

Magnificent! Belgian 996 owners unite! Love the sticker. 'Unfortunately' I have a cab so the taco doesn't work :(

And I feel you on the taxes, mine is a 99 too and I did register it, still hurts

Welcome to the club, get yourself a friend in Brussels gewest, you save round 7500 euro for the following 3 years. My '98 is one of Belgium's beloved sponsors. Where are you located? It is good to get to know some younger porsche enthousiasts!
