Question 1

What is the IMS bearing problem on the Porsche 911?

Accepted Answer

The intermediate-shaft bearing of the M96 and M97 engines, in 996 and 997 Carreras built before the 2008 facelift, can fail and wreck the engine. Many cars have had an upgraded bearing fitted, so ask for the invoice; the later 9A1 engines have no such bearing.

Question 2

Is a used Porsche 911 expensive to maintain?

Accepted Answer

Servicing follows Porsche's schedule, with spark plugs, coolant and gearbox oil at fixed intervals, and independent specialists usually charge less than a Porsche Centre. Tyres and brakes cost more than on an everyday car, above all on a GTS or GT3.

Question 3

How much road tax does a used Porsche 911 pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

A 911 first registered from 2001 pays its CO₂ figure × 0.6 × a band factor that rises 0.1 for every 10 g above 90 g/km: a petrol car at 250 g/km pays €315 a year. An earlier 911, air-cooled or an early 996, is taxed on engine size.

Question 4

Which versions does the new Porsche 911 come in?

Accepted Answer

The Carrera, Carrera T, S and 4S with three-litre twin-turbo engines of 394 or 480 PS, the 541 PS GTS with its T-Hybrid system, the 510 PS GT3 and the 711 PS Turbo S. They come as coupé, cabriolet and Targa, with PDK or, on the Carrera T and GT3, a manual.
