I have been traveling almost non-stop since my purchase, so haven't had a chance to get any good shots to post or put a lot of miles on, but here is a link from BAT a couple of years ago with a profile they ran on the car:

Orient red is a nice change from the more common colors, IMO.

I used these two factors to negotiate a fair discount on the asking price and plan to do both sometime in the near future myself.

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.

Hello everyone. Been lurking here for a few months getting boned up on these 996's so I could make an intelligent decision for buying one. So pulled the trigger back in early January and found one that met most of my criteria. I have been traveling almost non-stop since my purchase, so haven't had a chance to get any good shots to post or put a lot of miles on, but here is a link from BAT a couple of years ago with a profile they ran on the car:

. The car has never been offered for sale through BAT, so not sure what that profile was all about. I purchased it locally through a specialty car dealer. But it still looks exactly the same as in the link. Since I am a first time Porsche owner, I tried to follow all the advice in this forum and had the PPI done at a local Indy shop that specializes in P-cars. The car currently has about 60K miles on it and has not had the IMS done yet, nor the clutch. I used these two factors to negotiate a fair discount on the asking price and plan to do both sometime in the near future myself. (Yes, I am a DIY guy all the way). To add a little intro background, I have had a number of interesting cars through the years and used to do a little racing in my younger years. I have started a modest little collection of three cars that I now add the 02 996 to: 93 MR2 Turbo that I purchased new, 98 Lexus SC400, and a BMW 850i 6-speed, all in some sort of red color. All of my cars are in pristine condition and I do all my own wrenching. I just finished a full cosmetic restoration on the MR2, so needed something new to occupy my time. A Porsche has always been pretty high on my list of cars I wanted to own. I look forward to sharing my future with this new car and gain as much knowledge as I can through this forum. And lastly, I must say, the car is an absolute blast to drive!!!
Thanks all for the nice welcome. The color combo was a significant influence on my decision to buy this car. Being local was also nice, since I don't buy too many of my cars locally. The car has a complete Fabspeed exhaust system which sounds real nice, but those tips are not a good idea. I noticed that the exhaust had discolored the bumper cover around the tips before I purchased the car, and did more research here and confirmed that the tips are the culprit. I will be looking for stock tips to put back on. But it amazes me that a company like Fabspeed would sell something like this. The exhaust was dealer installed about 15000 miles ago, but the burning seems to have gotten noticeably worse in the few miles (approx. 300) that I have driven it. New tips are a high priority.
Thanks for the info and pics. I'm on the road this week, but your tips looks like they may be slightly more extended and perhaps a little lower than in my car. When I get home, I might try loosening the clamps and see if I can reposition the tips a little. Maybe that's all it is. Of course I will also need to deal with the discoloration on the bumper.
