My only modifications are clear side markers, a Euro style front plate, and I just purchased the IwireP to use my iPhone for music.
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.

Hey all! Just purchased my first Porsche a week ago and wanted to show her off. I bought it from Leith Porsche in NC. The car did have an IMS bearing failure around 22,000 miles and the entire engine was replaced. It has 50k as of my purchase. The previous owner had some fairly cheap aftermarket rims but luckily it came with the original rims. As part of the deal I had the dealership pay to refinish the OEM rims and install them. My only modifications are clear side markers, a Euro style front plate, and I just purchased the IwireP to use my iPhone for music. I can't get enough of this car! Every time I open the garage I get a real s*** eating grin! haha

Next to my 2016 Mustang GT
Porsche really got the 2002 18" Carrera wheels right - good move to put them back on. Best of luck with the car and welcome to the club!
Incidentally, mine is an 02 coupe with 59K miles. Waiting for my clear Hella markers to arrive in the mail.
Nice ride! Congrats!
Check your roof drains are clear, and remove the bumper before spring and clean out all the crap that gets trapped in the rads. I thought I have vacuumed mine pretty good....till I removed the bumper and dug out about a gallon of additional crud.
25,450. I was using another 996 in a nearby city as a haggling tool until they tossed a carfax in front of me showing the car had twice the miles, 5 owners, and a wreck on it. Lol Way to call my bluff. Haha.
