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.

Have been thinking about getting a 997 coupe (2006 or 2007), so have had the car up for sale for a while to see if I was going to get any bites.
I am at the airport to go on vacation to Europe and negotiated final details with the buyer... $37.5K. We will finalize when I get back in the country.
Strange feeling... love the car and was a big hobby. Guess I am in the market for a replacement now!
$37.5k?? Awesome, congrats man!
I'm also about to list my car for sale, hopefully I can sell at a good price like you did. I'm in the same boat, I want to upgrade to either a 997S or 996TT.
I know... unfortunately we are a continent and 6 time zones removed. Scheduled to close on the day I get back into the country. He is a local guy and wants to buy local as well. Absolutely trustworthy, but agree that it would have been nice to close the deal before I left for Europe.
Well, you gotta love this. Back from vacation and scheduled to drop car off at buyer and exchange the cash... I am about a mile away from his office and CEL comes on...
Met with buyer and told him I can't sell him the car this way... good thing, he still wants to do the deal, but obviously wants to know what cause of CEL is and wants things fixed.
Went to dealer yesterday and it is the catalytic converter... covered by warranty
. Car at dealer now and buyer and I are scheduled to meet tomorrow to exchange title and cash. Hopefully all will go well!
In the market for a 997S Coupe... Any leads? Will post on 997 board as well.
Mid 30's to mid 40's for an early 996 TT. It is the deal of a lifetime to me. Crazy power and a much more bulletproof engine than the M96 that the NA cars got. Only significant problem is that some of the transmissions pop out in second gear. Better than spontaneous engine failures I say.
