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.

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

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

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 2Original post

Nice, I'm looking for a GT3 996 but that does look good!!

Brilliant. The ad has received 900+ views already, so we can look forward to some bare-knuckled bidding.

"Interesting" combination of tyres front to rear mind ...

POST 8Original post

Tailpipes don't seem to be sitting quite right? Spoiler up is another alarm bell... Price and new owner expectations it might be a bargain, but I know how much I sunk into mine as it aged!

POST 9Original post

I think that it only looks nice because of the wheels, the rest of it is not particularly special.

POST 14Original post

Same colours and wheels mine was. I wanted to love it I really did, but sadly I didn't.

POST 15Original post

Wonderful cars and incredibly reliable considering the performance. Had mine 8.5 years and I usually change cars every 1-2 years. Loved every minute and still miss it.
