    BOOK MISSES ON IMPORTANT TECHNICAL INFORMATION
  

*by B***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2019*

I purchased the book for a friend who is a Porsche novice and in the market for a 996.  I was very disappointed with the content, the author who holds himself out as an expert on the car totally misses the most important issues about the 996 - those being the IMS bearing failure, rear main oil seal leakage, corrosive failure of the front-mounted radiators/condensers, weakness of the 3.4L engine leading to cracked cylinder heads and liners, and some periodic maintenance issues such as the coil packs.  I am a Mercedes collector and have a copy of the SL guide that is part of this book series.  The SL author is somewhat more knowledgeable and his discussion is more helpful to those considering an SL purchase.  If you are considering purchase of a 996 you could buy this just to remind you of some basic things to check on the car, and then keep looking on line for a more comprehensive discussion of the possible issues with the car.

    worth reading but not a big book with tons of pages
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2020*

What I liked:  it condenses a lot of information I got from watching youtube videos for a couple weeks straight.  The grading system for assessing a used car was excellent.  Tons of color photos were nice but the info was even better.What I didn't like:  The book is small, not 8.5x11" as I had thought it would be.  It's perfect bound but pretty thin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book and certainly worth it
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2018*

Great book and certainly worth it. I just can’t understand why there was absolutely no mention of the perceived IMS issue. An upgraded IMS adds value to Every porsche simply for the anxiety factor reduction.
