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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking to get a 911 for my wife in replacement for her 118d cabby, looking to spend about the 15k mark so will be a 996 most likely in that price band however i have no idea how much they are to run i.e. how much is a service going to sting me for, i assume brake pads and disks etc are not going to be bargain items either so an idea of what sort of money your car is costing you would be ideal..... also has anyone used a child seat in the back?? we have a 20mth old and a recaro seat but not sure it will go :-) its not a 100% gower as I'm sure you can tell from the post but its a nice idea to toy with. Thought about a cayman but want the flexibility of the two tiny rear seats! any information would be great! Thanks

Plenty of info if you do a search. My old one is for sale at RPR626 and it was a bloody good car, in good condition with lots of history and new bits.
