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.
Suspected cause
Anything less then 30k would probably trigger a red flag for me as most likely the owner is hiding something.
Leading evidence: 'owner is hiding something' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

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 have a friend who was looking at this car yesterday, he said it's ultra clean. It's being sold at Mecum auction on Saturday. Considering there is a 5% premium, that's about $1,500....considering that, what do you think is a "great deal" on this car? I can't link the pictures, but you can see it here:
https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/CH1...iolet/6-Speed/
One owner Texas car
- New Michelin Pilot Sport tires
- 3.6L engine
- 6-speed transmission
- Believed to be 36,000 actual miles
- Clean Carfax
- Atlas Gray Metallic exterior
- Black leather interior
- 2 Sets of keys
- Heated seats
- Wind screen
- Bose high end sound package
- Remote 6 disc CD changer
- E77 small carbon package
- Xenon headlamp package
- Stainless steel exhaust pipes
- MSRP $99,340
Dunno, I would go even further than that at $35k being reasonable with a $30k reserve. Only because low mileage, 6speed, good color combo, one owner, TX, C4S cabs are fairly rare relatively and were only sold in 1 year. Most of the cabs seem like they're geared towards cruiser types and a lot of them have Tips in them.
Let the fantasy bidding begin...
The car would be $2,500 + 5% buyers premium which is actually $26,250.
I am asking what would be a "great" deal as I do not see a reason to buy a car like this at auction if you can't drive it, etc. for money you could buy it on the open market.

04 C4S cabs or coupes here LA dont go less then 35k with those miles. Anything less then 30k would probably trigger a red flag for me as most likely the owner is hiding something. And dont tell me that ls why you get a thourall PPI, as they are human beings just like the rest of us and they also might not catch everything. So basically you get what you pay for.
I said it seemed like they were going high at auctions lately, but watching how lackluster interest the other cars were I wasn't expecting much here.
So it seems if you are buying a 996, don't do it an an auction. If you are selling one, put it in an auction
My thoughts are:- those of us who buy a 996 to make money are NOT Porsche 911 enthusiasts. I always wanted one and now I have one, I intend to keep it until I am too old to drive it safely. With a little PM along the way, I have had 30,000 miles of trouble free motoring over the past 4 and a half years.
It's my first Porsche and I too have always wanted one. It is still just a car. I love it but I wouldn't mind selling it to get a 911 GT3 or Cayman GT4
