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.

Is this the first sign of a drought in 3.4 C2 Coupes for sale in the UK market. Not ramping more an observation, None on 911uk, and only 13 advertised on AutoTrader. Of these advertised only x3 under 90K miles.. Is it now becoming a struggle to find one of these, 'mass produced' cars :grin:
There's a few on PH too but probably the same cars as advertised elsewhere.
It seems that when the 996 Carrera established itself as the entry level 911, price-point wise, everyone looking to get into a sub-£11k did so.
The upside for those that have one is that £13k now seems to be the minimum you need for a 'jump in and drive' example.
There were 175,262 total 996's produced, of those 9262 were cable throttle C2's (8310 Coupe and 952 Cabs).
Probably 50% were auto, so you are only looking at around 4000 cable throttle C2 coupes total. Maybe 10-15% have been written off. Once you start getting fussy with the spec; M220 package, colour specific or aerokit for example, there really isn't that many to choose from. I've had mine 10years and I'd imagine a fair few others have had them for a good length of time and have no intention of selling. For the money there isn't really anything close.
I think realistically a good spec car well maintained will be £20K+. I'd also suggest how well they have been cared for will be a better metric than mileage for which is a better car.
It's a CAT C/D but even though, there's something not right about that seller account. A lot seem to be getting hacked lately.
If you look at their items for sale, there are some very rare retro cars, totalling over half a million quid's worth all for sale at once. Many seem to be under priced.
Also, the usual feedback has a couple of feedbacks as a recent buyer (usually cheap items just to boost the rating) but the seller has had no feedback as a seller for well over a year.

My Spidey senses are tingling. The website seems to check out, but has recently been modified. It would be a very elaborate scam if not genuine.
I watch for a few different vehicles on ebay and very few are appearing for sale. I think its the time of year (who makes big purchases at Christmas) and also covid affecting viewing / collection so less advertised awaiting better times.
A friend also watches a lot of classic / prestige vehicle auctions and many cars are going unsold as not hitting reserve price.
I think it is odd times and will be interesting to see what happens in the next 6-12 months.
That said, I know of two people who have recently purchased non-porsche 'toys' via their wanted adverts placed on marque forums / facebook groups. If you want something bad, flush out a car rather than wait for one to appear!
It's the secondary air injection pump. All e-gas cars have them to control emissions at start up. It pumps fresh air into the exhaust fumes so that the cats think it's running lean and thus add more fuel (so works similar to a choke).
