996 are the least desirable and prices are really good in the used market, these were the models which were down on quality, egg shaped headlight/controversial styling , also first water cooled

993 prices esp turbo versions remain high and enthusiasts adore these models

Me, personally would get a 997 but those are fairly new , and depending on your budget, expensive

I raced 993's in SCCA, but for a daily driver/street driven car, I'd take a 996.

I actually like the styling and headlights on the 996.

my racing days are over (both street and track), so I want comfort, driveability, and ease of use.. the 996 is more comfortable to drive, plus I doubt i'll ever buy another car with a clutch.. when I was younger, I didn't think I'd ever have a car WITHOUT a clutch.  pushing a clutch pedal with an asscheek full of oil gets old after 15years. lol

A layman wouldn't be able to tell , the difference is negligible. Test drive both , see which one you prefer because you'll never know eithers limits

993...last of the air cooled engines. Also, the quality of the cars seems to be that of a bank vault. Like the Mercedes of old...open the door and close it, it has that "ca-chunk" sound of solidity.

This past June  I saw a white 993 Carrera (Carrera 2 or 4, don't know) driven by a high school kid for his Prom. It had black BBS type wheels, beautiful car. Timeless.

the 993 looks old compared to a 996.
