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.

nothing really to explain. I didn't (nor did my family) experience bad reliability, etc., but for me it was just that "it" factor I didn't feel. That's all.
Wife is driving an 02' CL500 as the replacement vehicle to her 00 996. Very different animal, but, I gotta say, if you are not in the sporty mood, its a heck of a ride.
A guy in our porsche club has a cherry ALL original 500sl that he is thinking of selling if anyone is interested.

Had a 1998 SL (red w/tan interior) Purchased with 4200 miles on it, sold with 13,500 miles after 3 years. No problems at all, except the mice chewing thru plug wires when it was stored in a warehouse. (happened twice or three times) Decided to trade in on my daughter's new SLK for a college graduation present. Enjoyed that car, but enjoy the 911 more!
thank you guys.
this is for a friend of mine, he likes the car, but want to make sure it's not a $$ pod.
spent some time on benzworld.org, haven't found a story with engine replacement yet.....
