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.

Pre-PPI - I guess...
Same old story I'm 2,100 miles away and the pictures look great, but I've already nixed 2 cars after spending close to $300 each for PPI's. I know that's why you get them, but it still smarts in the wallet. All I'm after is a visit to the dealer, a thorough walk around and look underneath for leaks, cupped tires - obvious stuff. Ideally a test drive. I could make a checklist and you can do any or all. I just want to get a better feel before I have them take it in for a formal PPI.
So if you have a spare afternoon and want to test drive a '04 996, I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks
Please PM me.
Thanks KNS - I guess I assumed the bb would email when new posts to this thread...anyhow

Hey there Kurt! Long time no see my friend. Hope all is well. Darin DeYoung at DeYoung motors in Prescott is a first class Porsche wrench with a great shop. Not a cheap date but who wants that so much anyway when you're talking cars like our 996 Turbos? PPI's are a must and a competent one worth every penny.

Hey Donny! Darin is a great guy, he did a little work on my car before I found Jay.
Please give a heads up the next time there is a Porsches-to-Prescott, I'd like to make it up.
