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: 'main reason i want this car' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'main reason i want this car' (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.

Greetings all. Coming over from Audiworld to your world.
Been reading for 2 months. Looking into buying a mid to late model 996.
Thoughts on this-->
2002 PORSCHE CARRERA CABRIOLET - 41K MI; SEAL GREY/ SPECIAL ORDER RED FULL LEATHER, 6 SPD; CLIMATE CONTROL, C.C; BOSE CD PLAYER, ALARM, FULL PWR. & HTD. SEATS, RARE MOTOR SOUND EXHAUST SYSTEM, 18" ALLOYS, NEW TIRES, CURRENT REG; 54k (w/o any discussion on the price)
Great to drive. Sounds amazing.
Someone please explain the switch to me that makes the exhaust go from Rez to non Rez.
Are Pcar clutches WAYYYYY stiffer then Audi clutches?
Great car! What do you think...
TIA!
FTR...Every thing I see on ebay that is as comperable to this as I can get is 5 to 10k lower.
Most are sales by dealerships as well......
Thanks again!
Say, that's a nice looking car! Nothing says "LOOK AT ME!" quite like a red interior.
But seriously, the price is way high, I got all that plus AWD and other extras over half a year ago for less. I'm thinking mid $40's. What is a "RARE MOTOR SOUND EXHAUST SYSTEM"? I got one too, it's orange and it was free.
I am assuming this car has PSE (Porsche Sport Exhaust). An electronically actuated vacuum opens or closes a damper in the mufflers. When the PSE is OFF, the damper is closed and it is in "quiet" mode, when it is ON the damper is open and in "loud" mode. Even when it is open (loud) is will automatically close at 25 to 40 MPH (roughly). This was done to comply with some European noise abatement laws.
There are ways to keep it ON (loud) all of the time. There is also a way to eliminate the "noise ordinance" cut out, so you can still turn it ON of OFF. If you end up getting this car or another with PSE, you could do a search here on PSE and have a full evening of reading about it and the MODS to change how it operates.
Color combination is incredible and unique. Maybe too unique - think it over carefully, and make sure it's the one you really want. The asking price is way too high for an '02 w/ 41K miles.
thanks for the replies guys....
I love the interior. Probably the main reason I want this car.
I'll check out the PSE.
So would the argument for resale work towards the purchase negotiations?
If the car is in good shape what kind of offers would you guys give?
I am thinking 45 low ball to 47max.
Anyone in Los Angeles have any suggestions on dealerships?
