I own a 996 C4 1999 and its fantastic its an old school Porsche . I own another Porsches 911 RS, 911S 944 S2 944 NA and a Cayenne but every porsche have its own spirit as I refer when I drive them. The 996 have a great grip on the track and when I learned how to use the Tiptronica gearbox I finally dont miss the mechanic gearbox. My 996 have 32,500 original miles I’m the second owner. But one thing that you mention is right The maintenance is the secret of having in great shape, What is next for my 996 its IMS the AOS new suspension its Porsche pcm and body paint maintenance . After all its a beautiful car and you cannot inmagine how many of my friends wants the car. I live in Peru

This reminds me of the old stoic mantra: “anyone can own a Porsche hat but only some people can drive a 996 with two car seats in the back”
