Suggestion
It's a decent spec, the fully electric seats are nice as it allows you to adjust the seat base angle (which isn't possible on the standard manually height adjustable seats), plus it has heated seats and a multi function steering wheel.

It'll ride well on the 18" wheels, but I think they do look better on 19s - you will easily find a set of used wheels if you really want.

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.

Am contemplating swapping my GTI for a 911 (would be my second one - had a 76 Targa many years ago). This one would however be used more as when it was just me I could take it out and use the Freelander when I need to transport more than two of us.
This would likely be circa 2000 to 2006 in age with these being examples which are currently available close to me.

I have owned a 2001 996 Carrera for 12 years, For a large part of that it was my daily driver, and it is currently my daily driver again.

they are duds. Appreciate you have a fixed budget and assume don't want to travel afar, but I wouldn't bother with those ones you listed. Total crapola.

The black 997 3.6 coupe you listed appears a nice example. It's a decent spec, the fully electric seats are nice as it allows you to adjust the seat base angle (which isn't possible on the standard manually height adjustable seats), plus it has heated seats and a multi function steering wheel. It'll ride well on the 18" wheels, but I think they do look better on 19s - you will easily find a set of used wheels if you really want.
I've got a 997 C4S tiptronic, and it's great for daily use. Go and have a drive of it, you'll soon know if it's for you.

Knowing why you’re saying that might be useful - is it simply that you don’t like the auto box?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
