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.

Let me put it to you this way, if you dont want it, let me know the number to the person selling...
Sounds good to me..........
price sounds pretty good. defly check out the service records. look for repeat rms leak, tranny issue, body work. if everything good to u, have the PPI done. however, if the color isn't ur thing, don't do it just for the price. is this speed yellow or some other yellow? speed yellow is a deep yellow color that is pretty popular. there is another light yellow color which is common on 99. that color isn't my favorite....
Thx for the feedback. It seems as if its a good deal financally based on your comments... The color is speed yellow. I'll have a run of service recs, I would def do ppi (early next week), from a non-mechanical perspective, its a cream puff. Asking here, since I wasn't looking at 996's and dont feel that I know enough about them, so again: thx. /Peter
I have a 2002 996 that you may be interested in. I am in Glastonbury. I will sell it for 35K. I can give you all the details if interested. The car is solid and runs great but does have some history such as some minor bodywork whenthe car was two weeks old back in 2002, and has had RMS replaced, new clutch recently, and a new gerbox courtesy of porsche. Car 71K hwy miles. You are more than welcome to come drive it and have it inspected. Jeff
