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.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

asking Turbo money, pure speculation https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-Porsche-911-3-4-996-Carrera-4-AWD-2dr/173171382285

POST 2Original post

I know it's a millennium edition, but that's madness. Also, I've been to that place and would not buy a car from them if they were the last dealer on earth. Nice car though. Worth £30k I reckon.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Its a big premium surely, a world gone mad

POST 4Original post

I think they need to make their mind up as to whether it's no 041 or 094. :eh!: Either way, I thought there were more than 3 RHD cars. I've heard of 5 and none of them were 041 or 094.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am not one to run down interiors however Savannah should be reserved for Californian owners, just doesnt work somehow. Must be SOR as no dealer in his right mind would bring into stock at close to that money, unless he valued it correctly and greed got the better of them.......

POST 6Original post

It's not Savannah, it's Natural Brown - much darker and more expensive when new. Agreed re. ridiculous price. There's another one here at £36k: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-POR...4-Manual-Millennium-Edition-2000/122979459967

POST 7Original post

The second ebay car is no.100 which is one I'd heard of and they claim it's one of five. I wonder whether 041 or 094 (whichever the latest one is) is in fact a Japanese import. :dont know: Not that I care ... I think they're horrid at any price. BUT they are quite rare and that always carries a premium.

POST 8Original post

Pics on AT ad confirm it's car 041. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201802203908465 However there's also a pic of the under bonnet build sticker which appears to show C18 which, as I suggested above, makes it a Japanese import.

POST 9Original post

Potentially very good news for "Joe Public" http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=124827&sid=c4b5edcde526ce978e9c4cd89e5618bf

POST 10Original post

Gotta love dealer bull***t. "only 3 were made in right hand drive" Er no, Adrian Streather talks about 10 RHDs for the Australia market alone in the Essential Companion... "one of just three such UK cars" Except it isn't a UK car... But good effort in talking up values. And it does look a nice example - although posting 44 pics in the ad including bonnet sticker but NOT service book does arouse a certain element of suspicion...

POST 11Original post

I think its a 6 not an 8 on that sticker... if you look at the 8 in the final series of digits its a different shape, IMHO.

POST 12Original post

I think you're right - looking at the '6' directly above it in the engine code...

POST 13Original post

Mine looks exactly like the 041 sticker above. Fortunatley mines got an 08 in the options line that looks different to my '6'

POST 14Original post

looks more like C16 in this photo. But in every other photo i took it looks like C18
