Read evidence and context
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.
Discussions that contain suggestions
1
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
These 19" replicas will increase unsprung weights and have a noticeable effect on the handling of a car that was designed to run optimally on 18" lightweight alloys.
Leading evidence: 'Run optimally' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run optimally' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Morning all,
bit of advice if you would on price.
A good friend of mine has been looking for a 996 Turbo for a while and has found the below-
2002/02
996 Turbo
Tip
38,000 miles
Dark blue Met
Grey trim
PCM2
Full history
Mint condition
3 owners
But it has 997 Turbo alloys !?
He can buy the car for £26k, is this a cheap car ??
The seller is telling him it's got an BHP upgrade, how would he find out if it's an X50 ??
I do have the reg ??
Thanks for you advise.
(and no I am not selling the GT3 :hand
Potentially a very good deall!!!
That sounds very cheap to me!
The prices vary so much on these cars so I would suggest he gets the car inspected before purchase - this way he will find out what costs if any he could be in for.
When I bought my turbo last December there were a few on the market but I chose one with a Porsche warranty for piece of mind - I have read on the forum that you can spend thousands of pounds on various items which brings the price to a more realistic 30k.
If the car is as described I would say it is a bargain!!!!!
Hpe the above helps.
The 997 wheels would put me off......my money is that they're replicas and not the real deal. These 19" replicas will increase unsprung weights and have a noticeable effect on the handling of a car that was designed to run optimally on 18" lightweight alloys. I'm also guessing that if these are replicas, then they are cast and will be manufactured from sub-standard materials. Ask your friend to ask for the originals. Originals are worth about £3k with tyres. Other than that it's one cheap car worth a Peter Morgan (or similar) check.

for that mileage thats a good price. There's one in Autocar this week featured in an article about how affordable they are; 54k miles 02 reg 25k and that was I guess the cheapest they could find. Usual caveats history, servicing, not cat d etc. Otherwise go for it...good colour combo too.
One other thing Dan, PCM2 didn't come out until the 2003MY cars so it must be at least a 52 reg for it to have PCM2. I think it's PCM 1.0 in that example you've posted?
