Hi, Having previously owned a 968 Sport and watched my dad continue to enjoy his C4 he purchased new from AFN 20 years ago I decided I had put off 911 ownership too long. In the past I got close but internet horror stories scared me off. Time to man up and find a keeper. I wanted a colour and early 3.4.... I only intended to have a look at the black 996.2 but the minute I saw it, spoke to the owner and flicked through the pile of receipts I wasn't leaving without it. It was booked in for a PPI with RSJ and nothing drastic uncovered so funds were shifted and I was on a train to Slough to collect it. So for a smidge over 11k I have a smart metallic black 6 speed, tintop C2, 8 way leccy black heated leather, Bose nav, phone, am/fm, CD system with full history, impeccable MoT history report and only 88k on the middle dial. Plan is to daily it until the proper damp and frost sets in, attend few car shows and try to strike balance between using it, not being too precious but avoiding the really grim weather.

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.

Thank you T8 for the welcome, I am keen to participate in the forum and get my hands a little dirty to get to know it a bit better and keep it in fine fettle.

911, an itch that very deffo needs to be scratched, looks good and good money. Welcome, enjoy.
A great buy in my ever so slightly biased opinion :thumb: Welcome :thumbs:
That looks like a great bargain. Best of luck with it & enjoy it.
Wow that looks great and a steal at that money, good luck 😎

A couple of drives under under my belt and I love it. Definitely a keeper!

Well done. Looks like a steal. Was there any mention of the condition of the bores in the ppi?
