Category: My New Ride

By Rob Wilkinson

July 2023 I had finished the rebuild of my 356 Speedster and it was time for a new project.

Research revealed a 996 TT was the best dollar buy ever.

Starting the search in ‘23 they were $39-45000 . Searched around didn’t see anything appealing. Fast forward to mid-2024 time to get the turbo.

What’s up…..to  get close to a 996 TT the pricing went to $55-70,000 in one year. That being more than I wanted to spend for another project , the search began for a 996 coupe.

There was one in Vegas I had an eye on for 2 months , soooo I drove over for an inspection . Nice car silver but an automatic, let’s try it out.  Took it for a drive to my shop

O School Choppers to inspect.

By the time I got there the car was leaking coolant like crazy.

I had been searching the last couple of months for a replacement for my 2011 Cayenne S. Still looked and ran fine but at 127K Miles was time. Was really looking for a 2015 to 2018 GTS or Turbo but happened upon this 2016 S at the Genesis dealer in Las Vegas. Local one owner trade with 68K miles and exclusively serviced at Gaudin Porsche. Nice color combo, Carrara White Metallic with 2 Tone Luxor Beige/ Black leather interior with Premium Package and Porsche Entry and Drive. Never liked Black wheels but the 21” Black Sport Edition look great with the white.

Surprised at the drive-ability and power curve vs the 2011. On paper only 20HP more than the V8 but really feel the difference off the line with the +37LB of torque with the Turbo 6. Very happy with the purchase.
