Porsche 911 996 parts
Introduced for the 2002 model year, the 996 Targa revived a classic nameplate but with a completely new design. Instead of a removable roof panel, Porsche engineered a large, retractable glass roof that slid under the rear window. This system provided an open, airy cabin without the compromises of a full convertible, and the rear glass also opened like a hatchback, adding a surprising amount of practicality.
The 996 Targa appeals to buyers who want a 911 that's a little different from the standard Carrera coupe or cabriolet. It offers a unique driving experience, blending the structural feel of a coupe with a panoramic view and open-air capability. As one of the less common 996 variants, it has a distinct character that collectors appreciate, especially those looking for a usable modern classic that stands out.
Buying Tips
- Thoroughly test the Targa roof's operation. Ensure the glass panel and sunshade slide smoothly, and check all seals for signs of perishing or water leaks.
- Scrutinize the M96 engine's service history for an upgraded IMS bearing. A pre-purchase inspection should specifically check for bore scoring and rear main seal (RMS) leaks.
- Check that the rear glass hatch opens correctly and that the gas struts are strong enough to hold its weight.
- Look for common 996 issues like a failing air-oil separator (AOS), cracked coolant expansion tanks, and worn suspension components.
