Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

A bit like saying you can run your Porsche on 95 ron petrol, and 98s a con.
Leading evidence: 'Run porsche' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run porsche' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
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'm on the hunt for my first Boxter and went to have a look this afternoon at a 981 2.7 pdk which is the first I've gone to see.
I was looking at the wheels/ tyres / arches and noticed that the lip on the inside of the wheel arch on both fronts (but not the rears) started off square to the car body but had been "rolled" in on itself as it got closer to the top of the wheel - I should have taken a picture in hindsight. I assume this is in order to fit bigger wheels without them rubbing on the arch? I assume someone had done that rather than it being standard as it looked pretty uneven - but interested to know from anyone with experience whether that is normal?
Secondly, it had a brand new set of p-zeros but not "N" rated, the dealer was insinuating it's a Porsche tax/ con to make you pay more for tyres and the non N rated were completely fine - any views on this?
It had some missing services and the paint had quite a few scuffs - so largely moot on the above points as to whether I would have bought it, but eager to learn for my next viewing!
Sounds like a bit of a duffer, and what would anyone fit non N-rated P Zeros? N rated may be a marginal gain, but the attitude smacks on penny pinching and/or ignorance. A bit like saying you can run your Porsche on 95 ron petrol, and 98s a con.

The arches are rolled in on themselves as standard but if they looked uneven side to side, perhaps it has had a repair?
Personally, I wouldn't be unduly concerned about whether or not the tyres were n-rated. I somewhat agree with the dealer. On a brand new car sure but on one which is 10 years old, I'd rather just have whatever the most up-to-date tyre is at the moment. I wouldn't chose P-Zeros but that is a whole other topic.
