Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

If you can get the car for £16-17k, it sounds a good buy although the usual comments apply about an inspection & checking the online MOT history to see if there are any recent advisories & when was the last service (& what?) as well as when the last major service was (& the next is due)?

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all ive been offered a very nice manual c4 cab in speed yellow with hardtop also with low owners from new 3 and Full porsche history. it had 65k miles on it. Extended leather dash hardback shell seats all with deviated yellow stitching. Do you think its worth high teens?? I am out of touch with the 996 market.

POST 2Original post

Sounds about right to me. Still worth getting an PPI done though.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

it was actually my car 12 years ago the owner is very particular so I probably won't ppi

If you can get the car for £16-17k, it sounds a good buy although the usual comments apply about an inspection & checking the online MOT history to see if there are any recent advisories & when was the last service (& what?) as well as when the last major service was (& the next is due)? If the car is pre 2002, it’ll be on an annual recommended service regime & post 2002 maybe every other year, or miles (whichever is the sooner) - if it’s a post 2002 & it’s been serviced annually, it’s hopefully a good sign of how it’s been treated. Also check the tyre age as some low mileage cars can have tyres that are 8-10 yrs old on them & it’ll affect the ride quality & your wallet!

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Totally agree i was just surprised they were still commanding these higher figures. I paid less 12 years ago when I bought it when it had 1 owner 30k miles!! but I still love the car, wish id never sold it
