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.

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.

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

Rennlist: 1 discussions

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

A friend of mine in San Diego has a wrecked red/tan 2000 996 for sale. He has some people interested already, but I thought I'd post this here in case someone wants to build a racecar, needs a parts car, or is looking for a cheap salvaged-title rebuilder. The price is $14,000 for the entire car. No idea if he'll part it out. I was interested so I went over. Here are three photos: It looks like the front went under the rear of a semi -- but the rear of the car -- especially the engine and 6-speed transmission is undamaged. I ran a Carfax on the VIN ( WP0AA2996YS620091 ) and it shows one owner and nothing significant past an 8/02 emissions test in Van Nuys, CA. Mileage then was 5,100. I was told, sometime after that, the car was in an accident and then sat in storage for quite a while. Apparetnly, the owner died before the car was repaired. (The death was unrelated to the crash.) Months later, the orphaned car was sold, as-is, by the lender/repo company. The tags on the license plate are still dated 2002. Estimates are that the car has 12,500 miles on it -- give or take a few thousand. If anyone genuinely interested wants to know more, you can email me for more photos. Even better, call my friend Bill directly at [phone removed] (his home). Explain that I gave you the home number. Bob Prosser Black Carrera San Diego [email removed]
