It would be nice if they could check the condition of the IMS, but that's not practical knowing what has to be done to examine it.

Surely, for $400, they'll change the oil and make you a check list of things that will need to be done to keep the car running for the next few years or so.

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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ive got $400 in Porsche credit that will be expiring soon. I've got a 2000 C2 cab with 80k miles. Is there anything unique or cost competitive at the dealership I should get with the money or should I blow it on $200 t-shirts and coffee cups?

POST 2Original post

My vote would go to the 997 Shift Unit or 997 GT3 Short shift (depending on your preference/tolerance).

POST 3Original post

I would get a set of backup floor mats for the car, and then a bunch of t-shirts and stuff... I have no idea what color setup your car has, but if you happen to have a black car and beige interior, get black mats! Black mats in a black/beige car looks great and offers a good change up from the norm.

POST 4Original post

997 Shifter is 230, leaving you $$ for a shirt and ??? Best money I spent was on the shifter

How 'bout a nice Porsche lighter to burn it to the ground. It won't be long and it will do it on it's own anyway, right? Why not do it yourself? Yes, I'm just kiddin' Personally, I wouldn't waste a $400 Porsche credit on t-shirts, coffee cups, or other 911 memorabilia. Those things can be purchased cheap on eBay and Amazon. Instead, I would speak with the service manager and schedule an oil change and checkup. Surely, for $400, they'll change the oil and make you a check list of things that will need to be done to keep the car running for the next few years or so. Things I would ask to be checked - AOS, RMS/IMS leaks, water pumps, coils, etc. It would be nice if they could check the condition of the IMS, but that's not practical knowing what has to be done to examine it.

POST 6Original post

Invest it in an index stock fund. You should be able to purchase a 996.1 with it in approximately 7.3 years.

POST 7Original post

Check your engine mounts for sagging if you haven't already. That's a pretty common issue and replacements are less than $400.

POST 8Original post

Ask them to commission a gold-plated IMS that's twice the size of real-life versions. Upstage gnat, he's had it coming for years.

POST 9Original post

Is that a dealership credit? $700 should buy you an oil change AND a t-shirt...

POST 10Original post

Can you use it for Porsche experience credit? If you can, do it.

POST 11Original post

YOu could put it towards the new Porsche classic radio headunit.
