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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is the first thread I have started and I'm hoping my rennlist family can help me out. A very good friend of mine is looking to buy a 996 and he is interested in this car. What do you all think of the car and what do you think a fair price would be? The car was listed on e-bay at a buyitnow price of $37,500 but did not sell. Any and all advice is very much appreciated http://www.rsfm.com/detail-2002-pors...a-2377906.html

POST 2Original post

looks good, $37k is good.. I think its worth looking into. PPI, records etc, etc

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Redridge, thanks a lot!! Seems like it's worth looking in to so I'll let him know and see what comes of it. Thanks again and as a side note, your car and the pics you take are some of my favorites. Keep it up

POST 4Original post

My buddy picked up an almost identical car (Midnight blue over black) for $40k even. At 37K this seems like a good deal. Of course, contingent on a positive PPI.

POST 5Original post

Very similiar to mine.....but mine's an 03 and only had 8,000 miles when I bought it last summer....then again I paid a lot more then 37K. For sure get a PPI done and if the car passes ...I say GO FOR IT!!!!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

RyeHigh and discoganya, thanks guys for your input. Rennlist is a great forum with great people. All the more reason for my buddy to purchase a P Car that way he can be part of the family. Seems like it is 100% worth the extra look and PPI of course. Again I thank everyone

POST 7Original post

The only thing that I would add to the advice from above (it's a good price and get a PPI), try to get any service records, but usually that is difficult to do if you're not buying it from a P-car dealer or an individual who may have all the records.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Eric, Thanks! that is good advice also and I had forgotten to tell him that. It doesn't hurt to try and find the service info if possible.
