- Want to know how to buy a Porsche 911 996? This is sort of a 996 buyers guide. You see I've been after a certain used car for ages. I've done loads of research, seen many dogs. Almost bought one, but it fell through as it had an engine problem. Then I found this. Is it the right car? Should I have bought it. Hmmmm... Watch the video and let me know!

That grin when you agreed to buy it was brilliant! It's always exciting buying your dream motor.
the seller dose not look like he want to sell anything
AtomicAutopsy I suspect the deal was done before they actually filmed the video.
that makes him a good salesman
the kind of salesman u have to beg to take your money
He's probably not used to being filmed doing his job. And it's got to get a bit taxing with people saying 'Hold on, let me move the camera' over and over in the middle of a supposed non-stop conversation.
and selling a car that is not ready for sale!
next week on car wow... Mat loses his license after doing 125 mph on the m6
LV when I learnt to drive my uncle told me the M6 toll had no speed limit (not true). My ford puma did 130mph and I was very lucky not to get caught!
supercooled Good point, don't drive that fast kids, not a good idea!
LV actually somebody vandalized it by jumping on the roof. Mat isn't too happy about it lol
@@joemacleod-iredale2888 as far as I recall no fixed cameras on M6 toll. M40 wins best UK motorway for speeding (except for unmarked cars).
Too bad it doesn't have iDrive. 😂
®ioT lol
… not yet anyway ;)
carwow congraaats
so are you adding I drive?
Ugh a Porsche, yea a big mistake
There is no way I would purchase any car from that sales rep.
But most of them are like that; shifty and know very little about cars.
Think that dealer has a reputation for clocking.
Porticraft have an excellent reputation
Why not? No point making that point and not giving a reason unless you just trying to clickbait
Very good reputation this dealership been there a long time
"a 16 year old car, and it's just so tight"
6:35 Did I hear right? XD
FBI open up
Came back to this video today (same day Mat posted his collecting a 992 GT3RS video). Amazing. Also nuts to see how cheap 996s uses to be!
Honestly I love you man, love your personality, your humour and your videos. Keep it up!
Congrats Matt! Very nice to see a normal guy who's not ultra rich as well get your dream car! You love cars and make us love cars with your honest reviews, which are the best consumer reviews on the net. Love you Matt! And drive the dream... good luck. Looking forward for more reviews. Great work Carwow!
Mat looked so happy with his car! Very original man, I wish you the best and may life give you a brand new 911!!!
I have to say Matt, I've never really liked 911s but your enthusiasm is slowly turning me around!
Should be fine Matt. I bought a 3.2 Targa from them years ago - it was fine. They price their cars keenly and turn them over, rather than ask a high price and hold stock for too long. That's why they don't offer discount. check suspension bushes.
Refreshing that you were not pretentious with, I can absolutely relate to your experience! Always enjoy you videos!
Congrats!!! What a lovely car. Got me poking around for one here in the states. Love your channel! My go to for reviews. +10
Great car Mat, you deserve it, now to get it nicely detailed, enjoy.
Love the video, different to your normal once, more like this please. Please show us your car collection.
Hi Mat, been watching ur reviews since carbuyer, its great to know tat u've bought ur dream car, hope u'll enjoy every moment with ur dream car...all the best in ur career also.
Congratulations Matt! Thanks for sharing
Awesome video and seriously cool car!
No better feeling than living the dream Mat. Congrats.
I will be dreaming my Porsche for many nights to come though.
Congratulations and have fun! Just be sure to be safe at all times please!
Congrats on the new channel Mat!
Congrats! Looks like pure joy to drive that machine.
i like these vlogs Matt, keep em coming boy
I've always liked that incarnation of the 911. Of course I've always liked to be the fan of the underdog as well. Doesn't matter what "most people" think, as long as you find the right thing to yourself just stick with it and enjoy it!
More of these, please!!
I love that contrast colour and pure driving feeling !! Worth every cent
'grats Matt. Have fun!
I finally managed to get my dream car earlier this year. R34 Skyline with only 11k miles on it. It's such a special car to drive.
Paid a lot but you can't beat that feeling when you at last get that ride you always wanted.
Well done !!!!! I've had a 3.4 - so much fun. I got a new iMS kit put on mine - but in hindsight - I reckon it could have stayed with out the upgrade. Great driving car :)
Congrats man, dream come true.
love how the guy refuses to move on price yet his car he was selling was sub par, brakes, mot, servicing, window not working, I would have walked away, plenty more about, check Kenny Dunn in Edinburgh Porsche specialist.
Matt made that dude nervous with his knowledge. haha. Gr8 pick Matt !!
I believe it's a good one Matt ! Congrates mate.
congrats Mat, well done! Enjoy your dream machine
Great video! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Congrats! Let's hope this nine eleven won't turn out to be a disaster.
vecernicek2 nice
lol
somebody vandalised it
first of all congrats man... enjoy your new ride bro
well done Matt, it's not perfect and that's why it's great! Most importantly you seem to Love it
Brilliant!! Plz do more vlogs like this!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats Mat, I personally always like d 996 911, but @ the end of the day its more important that your happy with the car, never mind what other people think, thats the fun in life, we all have our personal likes & dislikes!
Matt its never a mistake to buy or do something you've always wanted to do in life. You only live once... enjoy life. Thats what we are here for, to enjoy life
Best best best video for what questions you should ask when you go for car hunting
It feels natural and no acting on it
Can you do more for like used skylines or BMW 335i
Like what stuff we should look for before we buy one?
Nice one Mat. Very thorough.
REALLY ENJOYED THIS!!! WOW!!! Just stunning!!!! So sharing this!
I really loved this, thank you Mat! I wish I was even 20% as knowledgable as you about buying a car, the first car I bought was an overpriced Passat that a year later has a ton of costly engine-related issues (and it's a late 2010 model).
edit: congrats and enjoy the car, you deserve it
Love the more personal take on the format!
Hope to seen plenty of videos on it, congrats! :)
I actually like the different headlights of the 996 and find the 993 ghastly. So enjoy Matt!
amen
Congrats mat and enjoy it.
Happy for you mat, enjoy it!
Watched this a few times Matt and decided it’s my time now to get one!! Same year as yours and have been worrying about a few usual horror stories but just need this I’m my life now!! 😁👌🏼 you still happy with your choice Matt now you’ve had some life with the car?? 🤔
The interior looks sweet mate 😊
Enjoyed the video! Just picked up a 2002 C4 cab...Not sure why so many dislike the look of the 996? I think they are quite beautiful...Congrats.
Good points around no driver aids and throttle cable. Also it's narrower than any newer 911. Congrats!!
Leather should have been red. For me it looks like a dull car. A rear spoiler would make him less dull already.
yeah red would be great
i think hes seen enough red leather already
Quite like the blue plus tan combo actually. if he lived in a sunnier clime I'd even like a light blue.
Congratulations Mat. Looks like a fine example to me :)
one of my favourite porsches well done!!
good for you mate, congratulations!
Congrats! I love the contrast
Having looked at some similar age Boxsters I must be one of the few that actually likes the headlamps! Nice colour.
Congrats on your purchase, Matt!
Problem with buying older top end cars is that the bills can be crippling. This still represents nearly 25% of the original price. Only camper vans do better but they have van bills.
Bravo Matt! Many happy miles in it!!
Congrats Mat!
Congratulations mate awesome purchase!
Wow! You are a really tough negotiator! You just beat this guy down and down. You got your 'haggle' on!
congratulations mr mat. if you can do more second hand sports car reviews would be interesting to see like for like comparisons with budget. how much car/ horse power can you actually get for your money.
also if you could do a video on how to buy a second hand motor. what things to look out for etc. this video was interesting from that angle as well.
Congratulations Mat!!!
Spooky, I've been looking at getting a 996 for the past few months then my fav reviewer goes and buys one as well! I'd initially thought about the 3.4 but a higher miler as the IMS is less likely to be an issue. Then I do prefer the lights on the 3.6 and it has PSM especially on a C2! Bore scoring is something to be aware of but from my research the IMS and bore scoring and seal issues are not as much a problem as made out especially on these older cars! The older the car the less likely it is to be an issue! Buy it and maintain it, if it needs a new clutch get the IMS upgraded then? Oh, I do like the blue and beige combo! Mind you I've seen cheaper ones than £16k, saw a nice C4S on 70k for £17! That's likely to be a classic 996!
Congrats on the new purchase, a very nice example indeed, enjoy!
I gotta say I love the headlights and body shape of the 996, and with the gt3 wing it just looks mad. I like the 996 more than the newer Carreras with the small circular headlights
Congrats Mat on your dream car
Congratulations on buying your dream car! =) Hope you enjoy it and, hopefully, make some videos about it. Cheers!
Congratulations ! My dream car is a 911 as well :)
Personal favourite is the 2.7 RS, but in no way can I buy one of those!
Great choice mate, cheers
Its amazing how few Porsche cars arrive on the market, without that optional adaptive steering wheel.
The majority of Porsche owners have bought their vehicle from new, and very few ive looked at, in quite a few main dealers around the country, have cars with the desirable adaptive steering wheel option.
The factory fitted adaptive steering wheel, is decent value compared to a lot of the expensive items on the options list, and its an option that makes everyday driving such a pleasure.
Whatever the model, 911, Cayman, Panamera, very few come with the optional adaptive steering wheel.
I wonder why ?
Congrats Matt!! Enjoy :)
Lets see you get the new sport exhaust, maybe some upgrades to get you some HP. Great video.
'We never negociate on price' Well I would turn my back and walk out... What is that for bullshit and garage... So because its a Porsche? Well it's an old one and not that expensive. And it's evennot a real Porsche Dealer. The paint has some small issues and also the windows and some other little things. So yes negociate about the price is def. something I would have done... But oke Mat, nice car and Im sure you will enjoy this car. Have fun and im looking forward for new videos like this!
it's called supply and demand. google it.
Even with this supply and demand theory, it's possible to negociate. z00h
Carpassion19 it's not if you hold the market by the balls like the rolex does.
Porsche generally doesn't negotiate on price. it's not that specific dealer. I haven't owned one myself but I have heard this from multiple people already.
It's a 16 year old used car from some corner dealership. Ofc it has to be negotiable. Especially since he put a tag on the car, and after that Mat pointed out problems which the dealer only addressed in a half assed manner. I doubt he will have really put on new brake pads for example.
Congrats very nice color combo. Drove one of these a while ago they feel faster then 300hp.
Congratz Mat!!
Congrats!!! Mat
0:33 I just imagined how they staged this :D
"Could you please open the door of that car and pretend you're being sick"
Congrats! Enjoy it!
Very enjoyable - more please. Salesman slippery as a Teflon coated eel.
Congrats and enjoy your dream car , Matt
Any updates on this car? I really like this car and looking forward to more videos of it. Cheers!
Congratulations Mat on buying your dream car. Have a good time.
NIce German Whip Matt! Enjoy your ride.
Great car mate , I am happy for you =))) . I have the same colour combination ;). Make sure you drive safely haha !!!
nice car Mat, I hope you do a review on it :D
A 911 is my dream car too, a 997 Carrera S in silver with tan interior :)
Congratulations Mat!
Honestly I would have not bought the car and the reason is simple. The car has low mileage and the salesman tells me it is a London car. So basically, the car has spent most of his life driving in the city, or at least the last 8 years which the salesman says they have been servicing it. I would rather have a second hand car which has spent most of his life in the highway (motorway) rather than a car which has low mileage and spent most of his life in the city.
Exactly my thoughts. Stop/start driving. Plus the comment about sweating oil?
Cold startup is the worst time for an engine as the bearings are dry for a few seconds. Multiply that by a billion for a car that lived its life in a city.
Congrats, Matt!
got a 996 gt3rs and loving it matt.
Still love the color combo.
Put in a short shift kit. Forget the new exhaust or gonzo hack. You are not 16 anymore. Spend your money on new coil overs (W030 option kit), bushing and go have some fun. Although keep some cash and an eye on that oil weeping. The seals on the RMS and IMS go eventually.
Congratz on it Mat! :-)
Nice one Matt , enjoy !
Congratulations Matt; it looks a lovely car. Please keep us informed about how it works out, because I am sure that many of us harbour similar dreams. You've probably single handedly added another £1000 to their value!
