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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello fellow Porsche enthusiasts. I'm Absolutely brand new to the Porsche genre. I have come access a 2000 convertible 911 with 26k miles. I can get the car for 15k im sure. I drove the car and it drove strong and fine. There were no engine lights the car did not stutter It has 6speed many transmission that did feel a little sloppy. Here is the catch, it has a flood title. So whoud you by this car. It was not flooded recently, according to the dealer it has been with them for years.

POST 2Original post

A �flood� title?

POST 3Original post

Maybe if it was 5k and you save 15k to fix all the problems you MAY have to deal with for a water damaged car. And then if it doesn't have an issue, well it was a great deal!

POST 4Original post

Fresh or salt water? It makes a difference long term. I would offer $12K take some of the saved money and pay for a good 996 independent shop to do a nuts and bolts PPI checking all normal concerns plus a true deep dive into electronics. Rich

POST 5Original post

Nope!

POST 6Original post

Personally I would run away . Having said that will the seller allow you to take the car to the shop of your choosing for a PPI ? If they say no so do you . The unknown is risky and $$$$ .

I would ask them to pay you $15k to take it off their hands. Yes, i am serious. If they wont pay you, then you should run away fast.
