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.

Hi All -
I've been lurking here a while as I did research. Yesterday "pulled the trigger" and brought home an '02 cab with 34K miles! A few pics are attached.
Well, just wanted to introduce myself. Will go back to lurking and learning. Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge!
Scott
awe.. you dont get off that easy!!
where in Washington are you?
Nice looking Cab, Thanks for sharing pics (not promises of pics)
Saturday morning at XXX in Issaquah is Porsche Breakfast - are you coming??
Welcome to RL
Ed
Heh... I had the pics before I even paid for the car. :-) I'm in Woodinville, just above the wineries. Where is XXX? I just might attend... any chance to drive somewhere sounds good!
Crap... I can't stop grinning since I got the car. Face starting to hurt...
XXX is on front street in Issaquah just east on I-90 about 10 minutes from Bellevue.

Yeah... first speeding ticket coming soon as well, I suspect... :-)
On a related note, anyone have experience with "Platinum" level third-party warranty from Fidelity Warranty Services? It's what Barrier Porsche is pushing and I have a few days to decide. The car checked out "zero problems" at PPI (done by Chris' German in Bellevue WA) but 48 months peace of mind wouldn't be bad. RMS has already been done. Thoughts anyone... ?
I use Chris' too, great guys. Jason is the man !! Not sure on the warranty, try posting on the 6speed regional site (see above) thats more local - keep the speed down, I know its hard to....405 is a bastard load of staters !!
+1 - great looking car! Good luck. Only advice on warranties is watch out for the fine print - good to clarify that they will absolutely cover an RMS leak as a litmus, IMO. I'd try to get that in writing, too. Or consider putting that money into a separate account to cover inevitable expenses.
Most of these companies work the same. I got one of these so called a warranties. Some guy phones me up to 'register' me. What??? He know's all the details, my address, car type etc..
So I said, 'What's to register - you already have all the details'?
So he starts in on the , 'Well your coverage is for $750 dollars' and ... I say,
'Whoa! $750.00???!!!
'Oh yes, we pay the first $750 of a problem covered by the warranty.
'Ok, so my motor blows up and costs me $10K to replace and you pay a little over what an oil change would cost me'?
Big pause...
'Um, well, you see if you upgrade to xxx type package we cover up to $5000'.
'Ahhh, I see, so this call to register me is really a shake down for more money'.
Big pause...
'Well Sir I wouldn't call it that.'
'What would YOU call it'?
'An offer of an upgraded service plan Sir'
All for $1500 of course.
I told him no thanks. Beware of the fine print as well. They will download the ECU info after you have a problem and if they find even ONE over rev in the car's history - even BEFORE you bought it - they will not pay for major motor repairs as an excuse that the engine was abused.
You'd be better off putting money into a jar every month to pay for future repairs then give them money and then fight over repairs.
Good for you.
Can tell you've been lurking for a while as apparently Tim gave you no-post-without-pics-phobia, ha.
You're ready for some nice summer evening drives, enjoy the ride!
Welcome to Rennlist and Congrats on getting an Awesome looking car! You no longer have any reason to be a lurker, so.............. wait for it...............
Come on Newbie, keep adding to your !@#$%^&* post count!
Man, that one simple phrase has sooooo many uses!
Again, congrats and welcome!
I don't have one - does it really make that much of a difference? I don't feel the interior is that bad without it. Plus what do you do with it when it's not in use or the top is up?
Nice Cab. I'm in Issaquah near XXX. I am thinking of getting a 01 Coupe...soon. Drove it twice but I am still on the fence. Breakfast at XXX would be nice.
Hi Ed. Its a 2001 Seal Gray Metallic(I think it's metallic?) Coupe. 28k miles. Factory aero package. Sport seats... I think? Black suede headliner, Turbo style wheels, brand new Pzero tires. Looks pretty much brand new. Has stone guard on the front and in a few other key spots. They have it listed at 32,800. They are telling me the lowest they can go is 30,800. Seems like a decent price with the low miles. I was kind of thinking I would hold out for a 02 and get some of the model year upgrades but.....having a glove box would be nice, +20 HP. etc. What do you think? I like the Aero package but I'm not sure I love the side skirts. I would probably want to remove those..if possible.

If they're telling you the lowest they'll go is 30,800, I bet there's room for a good deal more. The car looks nice! Not sure how it would look with the side skirts removed, though. But hey, it (may soon be) your car.... and to each his own. :-)
Good luck with everything... and make sure to get a good inspection. I really liked the guys at Chris' German Auto on 130th in Bellevue. They answered all my questions even before I brought the car in...
WOW - in my opinion thats a great deal ! That car is beautiful ! ! not many come up that are equiped like that. IF you dont like the side skirts - contact me, I think my car has room for them
I have helped a young kid about a year ago with that exact set up, I wonder if that is his car? I can check and see. I would get a PPI done and get your best price. Dont worry if you kill the dealer or pay a fair value, make sure the car is up to speed! (condition)
Link to other car
nope, not his, but really close to the same ! ! I put a muffler by-pass on his car, its a beauty ! ! DO IT !
If you want to contact me directly for additional support or ideas where to go I will pass along my info
Good luck, I think you have found something to go for!
Ed
I am partial to MK1 aeros. If you want a porsche aero, its the nicest looking in my opinion but hey its your money.
The side skirts
(WILL NEVER)
match the front bumper to the wing. I would not get rid of them. You may regret it.
$28K would be a good deal for the car pending options. Did it get the 30K mile service? That is worth $600 to $700 dollars retail. I can see its got, litronics, sport seats and 3 spoke steering wheel. Get a PPI and you will have a very nice car.
The windstop is great. I can drive 100mph w/o messing up the wife's hair, hypothetically, of course. I can also leave the top down when the temp is as low 40F. It folds down when you don't want it or stores neatly in the boot.
