Nice car - only flaw I see is the blown-out HVAC unit, which is easily replaced/repaired.

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.

Good evening guys,
I recently picked up my 2003 Guards Red 911 Carrera 2 from a dealership in the DFW area of Texas. I did a lot of reading and searching before I pulled the trigger and I am in love with it to say the least.
55K miles
Sports Exhaust
6 speed
Enjoy the pictures!
While shopping for mine my color list was white, red, back.... then other. I searched hard for a 996.2 in red but had no luck at the time. I ended up with other on my color scale, but very similar to yours in that it came with h&r springs and had a HVAC display that was going bad.
LCD kit from here is a simple DIY and the font closely matched the OEM font. http://shop.914rubber.com/996-986-LCD-Display-unit-wth-connectors-replacement-kit-996986LCD.htm
Very nice car you have there!
Thank you gentlemen! It's my first exotic sports car ever. I have always owned and driven Mustangs, my current being a 2015 GT that I am building for drag racing. It is a completely different experience than any other car I've even been in or driven, it's euphoric.
dblvanos, thanks for the link! I was just searching for a replacement for that!
lowered ride height really make the car meaner
Professional detailing and photography skills also help
Nicest 'stockfish' 996 photos I have seen in a while ! congrat'
Love the car!
Step 1 - high temp brake fluid, pads, and X51 baffle kit.
Step 2 - meet me at Motorsports Ranch at Cresson TX for the most fun you can have legally
Step 3 - sell the Mustang to finance all of the road track upgrades you now want to do
Step 4 - smile
When people say the 996 is the ugly duckling these are the pictures I will show them. The stance, colour combination and small details make this car absolutely gorgeous. I would take this over a 997 or 991 every damn time.
Wow - you sure have a beauty!
I had to post (my first one!) as my recently acquired 996 (2000 C2) has 55,000 miles also...and could pass as the convertible twin to your 911. (Notice our son's Mustang trying to sneak into the pic! Is there something about Mustang fans and Porsche 911 owners?)
Congrats - you definitely have a keeper.

Thank you! Yes sir, going to have to repair the screen. There is a couple things in the interior that I'll address such as the driver seat left side trim piece is off because the clip broke. And the moonroof switch is not clipped into the panel, the clips seem to have broke off.
But mechanically, it's a very solid and well taken care of 911.
