These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here is a very rough condition '99 Carrera 4 6 speed with 160k on the clock. However the condition leaves me to believe that this was/is a home to someone or something https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d...748342619.html

POST 3Original post

Man, even at $5500 that seems steep. I can only imagine what it smells like.

POST 4Original post

I agree. Probably a flood car but the car seems to have had a rough life even before the flood. It has the potential to be expensive if issues arise.

POST 7Original post

I saw that ad yesterday. I think it might be just the car for me. The engine would make a great first M96 rebuild candidate. I can see/imagine many thousands of dollars worth of other repairs that it would need. Trying to talk my self into looking at it tomorrow or this weekend.

POST 9Original post

"runs, drives good" Hard to believe, and you would have to sit in it to find out Certainly a lot of parts there though for someone with ambition.

POST 10Original post

"runs drives good" ...whilst sitting on the back of a flatbed?

POST 11Original post

That's a $2000-3000 car in that condition. Could be a good candidate for a stripped out track car though.

POST 12Original post

Or part out if you have lots of space and time.

POST 13Original post

Two words... Money Pit ! Ooops, one more... NIGHTMARE! Even at $2k, you're just paying to enter the nightmare, money pit...you'll be paying much more for a looooong time to have the privilege... Run away!
