Leading evidence: 'Check await' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check await' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

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.

Hi All, I've been lurking around here for a few weeks trying to pick up advice on buying my first 996.
I've spent the last 8 years in an early Elise and now fancy living the dream in a 911. My budget, upto £15k, leaves me looking at the lower end of the market.
There's a 98 C2 on autotrader for £13.5k, seems a good price but the mileage (113k) is higher than most for sale. If the condition and history is good, would you be put off by the miles? It leaves a bit left over for any work needed or maybe a few track days
hi there, i'm also looking for my first 996. i've seen the car u mention but i think its a bit overpriced . i've been looking and seen ones with a lot less miles for the same money. good luck
I was in the same boat in Jan this year took the plunge and got the best car I could afford which seems to be the most sound advice. Lots of research and checking await!!! Do your homework and you will be fine.

wow - the guy has obviously enjoyed driving this one. What sort of price do you think it'll make?
Worth taking a look? Are there many really high milers out there like this? Are they good for another 200k miles aas the seller has suggested?
I'd budget for a proper inspection before buying as the price to purchase could pale into insignificance compared with costly malfunctions if you get one with issues. Obviously the cheaper the purchase price the more likely that could be.
same boat here
I'm also looking for a cheap but decent 996 ,14k-18k budget
and looking for advice ,and on thing ive noticed all the cheaps ones are blue lol whys that
Voila gentlemen,
