I've been looking at buying another car to replace my current daily driver. I like the 993's and the 996's but the question I have is how much work can be done my self? Can basic maintence be done my self? such as oil changes and spark plug replacements and so on. Is the 993 easier to work on than the 996? thanks!

For a daily driver? I would say the 996. I've done work on both (much more on the 996), and the 996 is MUCH easier to deal with. Spark plug changes on a 993: good luck... unless you're gumby, you need lotsa time for those. The 996 is a more updated car, newer, better technology, more comfortable ride, faster, and better seating position for someone my height - 6'4". Plus, a replacement 996 engine is like 10k installed. A 993 rebuild starts at 15k.
