Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Just wondering what I should put it up for?
It's a 996 X50 manual, coupe in Seal Grey, body work and wheels are in excellent condition, so swirl marks or scratches or curbing.
I bought it 5 years ago from RPM, it has full Porsche dealer and specialist service history. I have had the following work done during my ownership.
New rads and condensers
9 excellence switchable sports exhaust
New Sachs performance clutch
Forge Diverter valves
Guards Red front and rear seat belts
Bespoke front grill mesh - by 9e
Ceramically Coated Body and Wheels
Michelin Sport Cup front tyres
Over £6,000 spent in 5 years and less than 1000 covered.
The is kept in a garage and never driven in the rain. If anything it has driven more to garages for services than anywhere else. 😂7
The mileage is 75787. Its last 6 services over 5000 miles with Porsche specialists.

I may have left some other stuff out.
Any ideas what it should be priced for? :thumbs:
...you asked for a valuation, got one which you didn't like and threw your toys out of the pram which leads me to think you have a value in mine so why are you asking the forum :dont know:
£45k seems eminently sensible and achievable to me. Going into winter during the worst pandemic since Spanish flu may mean you have to hold your nerve a little though....
MF.
The x50 is a desirable option. It is relatively rare and was expensive. When I bought my turbo I specifically looked for an x50 with Aerokit. I have never heard anybody say that they would take a standard turbo over an x50. So I would think it would be priced a couple of £k more than an equivalent standard turbo.

Hi Alex & FZP,
Yep, I sold that reg for £12k I think. Mr Corn is right the LA09FER is on a La Ferrari. How you boys laughed when I advertised it and said you boys said it was worth £500. So funny
Mr. Corn & Mark Foster your advise is appreciated. It was a rare option.
Please note: I said 'I'm considering selling it' I didn't ask for offers.
:thumbs:
By the way, if anyone out there is looking to buy a 996 - do it. You will never buy a better car.
Just make sure they are not a convertible or triptonic or a standard 996 2 wheel drive. They are the cheapest and a great entry level car, if you cant afford the dosh for a 4s coupe or turbo.
Alex has one :thumbs:

Saw this go through today, beautiful condition and 20k miles, didn't look at its service history
How have you managed only 1000 miles?? I've had my 996t less than 2 months and put more miles on than that! (maybe I should be a bit more sparing but love driving it too much)..
Seeing as the guy over at friends green porsche had a similar mileage non x50 up for 35k and it sold in a few weeks I'd say take a bit off since it's a private sale but it must be up in the high 30s I've seen a few 50k milers in good condition at the 45k+ mark.
