Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dear fellow members Last night a members reporting of a 1998 3.4 C2 Coupe with suspected engine failure, which will likely lead to engine rebuild, replacement or modificiation rebuild is possibly looking for a new home, whereby a technically minded member may be interested in a purchase at a low buying price, the normal symptoms of oil pressure/dash lights are associated with suspected failue but core route of failure not yet stripped down and confirmed as of the associated cost (up to 3K), 1 previous owner, currently 9 yrs member owned with FPSH is incorporated, it is a shame but realistically a good sensible offer may ensue, a cost of 10K is of course assocaited with a repair following inspection and probalby leads to a non economical viable avenue to follow for the member, hence this request for a offer of the car in current status. If a member is interested in more information, or definitely interested in pursuit of this carpurchase at a good price please feel free to email myself on [email removed] please note it would better suit a technically minded member whom may repair the car themselves to reduce the cost of returning what is a super car to the road once more. Best regards Johnny McGirl 996RS

POST 2Original post

Hello, If I may ask a question? Has this member only been told there car is DOA from OPC or from an independent?.

POST 4Original post

Tell him to speak to Hartech before he makes any decision. It may not be total failure and even if it is it is unlikely to cost anything like £10k with them.

POST 5Original post

Can you post up some more info on the car and or pics?

POST 6Original post

poor guy's probably took the advice from his local OPC.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
