I took it home and had it checked out and the ABS/PSM light was due to a steering sensor and the seat belt was due to one of four error codes all in the 20's..

I couldnt find one that checked all the boxes within my range...
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi all,
Finally introducing my new to me 996.
I had been on the look since March and the onset of covid as we all know has created a grea environment for some cars and the 996 has benefitted somewhat.
I looked at a bunch of vehicles local to me and interstate and unfortunately by the time you factor in shipping and list of repairs needed for these cars... I couldnt find one that checked all the boxes within my range... whats the old addage about choose 2 but you cannot have all 3?
So in October I found the following car on CL... local to me... right price and most importantly with $6k spent on preventative maintenance at a well know Pcar specialist.
The seller did warn that some cosmetics were required in the interior and that it had a a seat belt light on from the seat buckle but had no time to clear.
I purchased the car the next day after speaking to the Pcar specialist and drove home.
On the way home I had an ABS/PSM light show up...
I took it home and had it checked out and the ABS/PSM light was due to a steering sensor and the seat belt was due to one of four error codes all in the 20's..
I have since had everything corrected including a window reg... I have cleaned up the interior and found a set of 40AE wheels.
The metallic black has really grown on me... as initially I had sworn myself off Arctic Silver and Black!
Looks great. I just bought my first 996 and love it. I got it on ebay also it is a 1999 C4 and I snagged it for $ 14,000. I thought it was a great deal and it only needed a water pump. That I could do myself.
The silver inserts in front of the grilles seem opened up.
See the middle bar that splits the air intake in front of the radiators? On mine it has been removed.
Gotcha. Interesting. Prior owner mod or perhaps replacement bumper. I wonder if a Prior Owner had something else in there and removed it. With a large opening like that the rads might get full of all sorts of undesirables.
