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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...r=&cardist=192 This is a great deal! Makes me think of graduating to the 911 class.

POST 2Original post

That's almost cheap enough to buy as a parts car. I doubt the legitimacy of the price or the car has a history of some BIG problems.

POST 3Original post

If it doesn't come from a certified Porsche dealer with an extended warranty - forget it.

POST 4Original post

5yrs old, medium milage, off warranty. Probably driven hard. ? auction car Check it out wisely, don't make bob's 40k mistake.

POST 5Original post

Who's Bob? Maybe someone can enlighten the board as to what Bob's problems are. (Just joking)

POST 6Original post

I get the feeling that it might be a salvage titled car. It looks like that pic was taken at a junkyard and the price isn't right. Bobby

POST 7Original post

Stay away!!!! Car has been hit from the front: Alu guages, stick, handbrake, but 4 spoke wheel? I think the airbag deployed and whomever "fixed" the car just put in a 4 spoke 'cause it's cheaper. Also, if you look at the interior pic, the fusebox cover is missing.

POST 9Original post

Hey, maybe a Ford dealer will pick this car up, I hear they are great at unloading 911's. ;-) I'm almost tempted to look at this car, afterall the A/C is ice cold...

POST 10Original post

If its too good to be true then it probably is. The price is low, but do a careful check of the car. It probably is salvaged or had been hit hard before. Have the car checked out at a porsche dealer before you buy, and if it checks out its a super buy. BTW Bob is some guy who bought a car from a Ford Dealer lot and he claimed he has blown 3 engines and $40K in expeneses on it in 1100 miles. Many of us find his story hard to believe as how do you blown 3 engines in 1100 miles and why would you keep paying for engine out of your own pocket. When someone installs an engine they should cover it for a certain time, so there is something missing in his story.

POST 12Original post

if its too good to be true, it probably is. probably some sort of accident or lemon or salvage , or all of the above.

POST 13Original post

The steering wheel is an absolute classic...hahhaha....gotta be a certain members car we all love

POST 14Original post

You beat me to the punch. Alienz: You better hurry up and buy it because as soon as Bob sees your post, he's going to buy it. He can't turn down a super deal.

POST 15Original post

if you read the ad carefully the last sentence say " not responsible for typo errors". A classic baiting scheme.

POST 17Original post

What do you mean? That steering wheel was standard on a '99.

POST 18Original post

Friend of mine purchased a black/black '01 996 on ebay 3 months ago. Private seller needed money asap. 23k miles, 6 spd, NO Reserve auction ended at $24K. There are some success story out there. BUT, if a dealer is selling a porsche at pretty low price, I am sure that "too good to be true" or "you get what you paid for" applies 100% of the time :-)

POST 20Original post

According to CarFax, this car was lease vehicle in FL for 3 years, then sold at an auction to a dealer in MA; subsequently sold in MA. It was involved in an accident that Police reported (doesn't say how severe). Funny thing is the comment attached to the police report item "Accident Reported Vehicle involved in crash and ran off roadway and hit utility or light pole" No kidding.

POST 22Original post

If it's good, it ain't cheap and if it's cheap, it ain't good!. Bob, that's why a deal like that has got to have a story, it really is too good to be true. If you buy that car, you will soon be posting parts breaking stories as well. Run away. Chris

POST 23Original post

It always cracks me up when a seller is not smart enough to take the pictures somewhere other than a junk yard.
