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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello - kind regards. I found this car while browsing today and since I'm new to 996s, I was wondering what isn't stock on this car. Obviously the wheels and tints - but the front aero looks non-OEM. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...4003/overview/ Am I correct?

POST 2Original post

That is a standard 4S...shares same front bumper as a Turbo. Car is wrapped, wheels are aftermarket BBS, OEM radio replaced with double din screen, aftermarket rubber floormats

POST 3Original post

the front lip is aftermarket, I have the same one on my car not uncommon, it's a wear item stereo is aftermarket as are the wheels which you pointed out the real question is the color which is listed as Arctic Silver I'm certain that car has been wrapped, as indicated in the door jambs the rest looks pretty straightforward Division: PCNA Commission #: 477106 Prod Month: 11/2002 VIN: WP0AA29983S621719 Price: $89,715.00 Exterior: Arctic Silver Metallic Interior: Black Full Leather Warranty Start: April 14, 2003 342 Heated Front Seats 680 Bose High End Sound Package 692 Remote CD Changer (6 Disc) 982 Supple Leather Front and Rear AH Black Full Leather M6A Black Mats - Porsche lettering P11 Self-Dim Mirrors & Rain Sensor P74 Xenon Headlamp Package X1 Arctic Silver Metallic X54 Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes X70 Metal Door Sill Model Insignia X71 Aluminum Instrument Dials Y05

POST 4Original post

Appears that the photos were taken with some kind of filter as well to enhance the appearance of the interior/exterior.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That was my sense, too. This is def not arctic silver....

POST 6Original post

Crowd sourcing ideas is ok, but if you intend to crowdfund the actual purchase, the line is long.

POST 7Original post

It is a well optioned car. But in my mind : grey wrap on silver car = paint issues.

POST 8Original post

Looks good. If I had a silver car, I'd wrap it too!

POST 9Original post

I�d be sure to check the rotors and pads. That can be an expensive maintenance project and best to address it in the purchase price. From the pic the passenger rear rotors looks pretty groovy - but it could just be the lighting.

POST 10Original post

the thread title "crowd source" made me do a double take....then realized OP is asking for opinions

POST 11Original post

Did they not make Stainless Steel Door Sills with Carrera 4S?

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 14594743

Same here. I didn�t know if he wanted us to pay for it, or to give an opinion.

POST 13Original post

The front spoiler lip looks like a 996 turbo lip.

POST 14Original post

It's nice - I like the wrap and the rims, but that boils down to personal preference. If you don't like the wrap or rims, they are easy enough to undo. The price seems a bit high to me, given the mileage, but it is a dealer, not a private sale, so that makes sense to me. I looked at the same basic car: 2003 in seal grey, private sale, 10K more miles, for sale in my region for low 20's, original owner, all documents, keys and service history, totally stock. The mileage was what turned me away. If I didn't already have a high mileage 996 in the garage, that one would have been in the garage instead.
