These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

10 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

Is this machine worth it? What should I look for when I test drive it? Thanks in advance. Here it is: Linky 2001 911, black/grey, loaded NAV and a photo:

Looks like a pretty poor install on the aftermarket head unit, and probably needs the engine mounts replaced. Obviously it's a manual and not an automatic as the ad states. Personally, I'm not a fan of the wheels, but some may like it. There's lots of threads out there, but the best thing to do is get a good pre-purchase inspection from a reputable porsche mechanic (or dealer). It'll be worth every penny.

+1. Doesnt look like a bad starting point, but a PPI is a must. This dealer clearly does not know about what they have

POST 4Original post

Looks like a reasonable price. If he has service records, that would be helpful.

+996 on having a PPI done. If you decide to do it yourself, this might help: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ing-guide.html

POST 6Original post

C4 more valuable than a base model. Stated as loaded, with what? Get the options codes. I see painted center console. Does not look like full leather, especially at the doors. Does it have a leather dash? I see de-ambered lights (standard that year or replaced?). Looks real clean. If going to get the LN bearing, also do clutch. Negotiate that cost off the price? I see deviated carpet (standard is black?). Seats are the base leather.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow thank you guys. At least I know if they refuse the inspection, they aren't very reputable.

If anyone ever refuses an inspection, walk the other way because they are hiding something, regardless of how good the deal may seem.

POST 9Original post

No affiliation. I like the looks of this one: https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...uards-red.html

POST 10Original post

It looks nice.. It has good price, its a C4 and exterior & interior look good. A ppi would be good but still inspect the vehicle yourself and make sure you like it.. Light color interiors seem to wear out faster than black ones.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
