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.

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.
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...
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.
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.
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 :-)
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.
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.
