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 suspect a cause

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.
Suspected cause
With those performance mods and what is likely a cracked block, it's hard for me to believe that this car is "in excellent condition" and "runs good".
Leading evidence: 'cracked block' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'cracked block' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run forrest' (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.

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.

, but c'mon, you knew it would happen]
Question is, if you add about 10k to that price, would that be a good deal? It's going to need a new engine, but then you would be in it for 30k or so, whiich is a bit above market for a 99 996. It will have a new engine, however, with all the updates, so if you are looking for a fun car with some track goodies (and want a warranty), this might be a winner.

With those performance mods and what is likely a cracked block, it's hard for me to believe that this car is "in excellent condition" and "runs good". Can you say, "Rode hard and hung up wet", boys and girls?
For a couple thousand more dollars you can find a comparable car with fewer problems which should lead to less aggrevation.
Just my 2�
Folks, my post was sarcastic. I wasn't really asking for opinions. It was supposed to be funny since the car was listed as "excellent condition" but with oil in the coolant.
I thought the title would at least indicate the humor with the Gurus
AND EVEN TIM
part...

nothing wrong with some coolant in the oil...nice mix!! probably bad for the engine though....don't think engines like water much!!!
Like above....deduct 10K for engine replacement...OR just walk away and find another one....there are a LOT of P-cars for sale at the moment for pennies on the dollar
