Tips For Purchasing The Porsche 986 - Design 911
                      TIPS FOR 
PURCHASING 
THE PORSCHE 
986 
Check The Engine
The Porsche 986 comes 
with either a 2.5L, 2.7L, or 
3.2L flat-six engine. 
These engines are known 
for their durability, but 
they do require regular 
maintenance. 
Inspect the body
The Porsche 986 has a unibody 
construction, which means that the 
body and frame are one piece. 
Check for any signs of rust or 
damage, especially around the 
wheel wells, fenders, and rocker 
panels. 
Look For Leaks
The Porsche 986 is known for having oil 
leaks, especially around the rear main 
seal and the intermediate shaft (IMS). If 
you notice any oil leaks, it’s important to 
have them fixed as soon as possible to 
avoid any damage to the engine.
Test The Transmission
The Porsche 986 comes with 
a manual or automatic 
transmission. Test the 
transmission for smooth 
shifting, and listen for any 
grinding or whining noises.
