The Porsche 996 is Now the Smart Buy — Here's What Changed

For twenty-five years the Porsche 996 was the 911 nobody wanted. In 2026 it's suddenly the smart buy of the entire 911 line-up — and in some markets it's now selling for MORE than the 997 that replaced it. Here's what changed, why the concerns are overblown, and which 996 you should actually buy. I own a 997.1 Carrera, I'll show you exactly what I paid, and why the 996 finally moving up means the 997 is next. #Porsche996 #Porsche911 #OutlawGarage 📱 GET THE APP — free closed beta (200 spots) Track your Porsche's service history, decode any VIN back to the 356, and get real dealer-price estimates before you book service. 👉 https://myporscheai.lovable.app 👕 WEARING That's an Artneun tee in this one — proper Porsche people running proper events. 👉   / artneun   🏁 ARTNEUN EVENT Details in the outro — if you're anywhere near the region, come along. https://www.artneun.com.au/ 🔗 LINKS • Outlaw Garage app: https://myporscheai.lovable.app • Artneun on Instagram:   / artneun   Thanks for watching the video.
