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.

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.
Leading evidence: 'decent' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'decent' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). 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.

I'm trying to help a friend who is looking at two different 996 Cabs. I'm a 997 guy, and frankly don't know that much about buying a 996, both wrt value, and the options that were available.

Anyone like to comment about the cars, their value, and maybe the two dealers involved?
Mglobe - I am not really "up to speed" on Cab prices, but after looking at cars, the first one (black) is pretty basically equipped except for the side skirts and wing. I can't tell for sure but those skirts look like MK I skirts, which were for '99 - '01 996's and the car is an '03. Technically, it should have the MK II skirts which were made for the mid-model face lift '02 - '04 cars. IMO, the price is too high.
The second car has full leather and MK I front bumper and skirts, along with the small cab wing. Probably a decent but not killer price.
Maybe others that are more familiar with Cab prices will chime in on these cars. BTW, I have no first hand knowledge of either dealer.
Thanks Tim, just the sort of stuff I'm looking for. I personally would lean towards the Lapis car. Love the color, I'm not a big fan of the wing on the Black car, and the price seems a bit better. Was there some sort of nav offered in 01? The blue car looks like it has a PCM like screen, but I thought PCM was a 997 vintage thing.
Yes, PCM was available as an option on the 996 and you are correct, the Lapis Cab does have PCM. It is listed as option 662 toward the bottom of the page in the link you provided. However, I do not know what is included in the "Advanced Technic Package" or the "Comfort Package" which are also on the Lapis Cab.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
