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.

I am aware of the reported issues of bore score on gen 1 Cayman and Boxsters.
My question is this. If a car is advertised for sale with a full re-build, is that a good thing in itself or could it lead to further problems? It is
this advert
that got me thinking. It sounds great on paper, but why would someone spend £13,000 on a car in 12 months and then sell for not much more? They may of course be moving to a 911 as stated, but could the vehicle be a minefield and what would your thoughts be?
This doesn't appear strange to me as I am looking to do the exact same thing with my Hartech rebuilt Cayman s.
I have just ordered a new Cayman so my gen 1 will have to go as a result. I have been offered a poor trade in value and am prepared to take a large knock in value when I offer it for sale. Without any kind of rebuild regardless of the cost to rebuild, a car would be rendered almost worthless so you have a no option but to have the work carried out. It would be nice to think that I would return more money as a result of the rebuild and improvements but I highly doubt it.

Are you suggesting he should just keep it forever? The value is the market value.
In terms of the rebuild, it depends what was done. There is a world of difference in doing the minimum to get one running and a proper Hartech future proofing. However, if it was 10k, you would imagine the rebuild included upgrades. You need to check.

No of course i'm not suggesting that. Just unsure on this process and after a bit of advice if this was usual or not.

Any details of your car or has it been sold already fella?
I just bought a Hartech rebuilt Cayman S, was local and roughly middle of the market price wise. Seemed like a no brainer. From recollection the chap buying it just needed more seats, and was getting it in the ear from the other half about how much he'd been spending on it! You never get much back from what you spend on repairs/maintenance otherwise you'll price yourself out of the market.

I can send you some if genuinly interested?
Only just ordered my new car, I'm told a June build slot hopefully so not done anything about advertising it yet.
It is a Cayman s sales car which Hartech have maintained as I am local to them.
