Repair looks good other than the overspray but it's very very slight.
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.

With my turn of events I am on the hunt for a great 996!
i am waiting for some additional information from Spork regarding the possibility of purchasing his car, but in the meantime...
Does anyone know anything about these cars? Thanks in advance!

The silver cab in Playa Vista looks nice. He just dropped the asking price by $1k as well. I'm in that area at least once a week. I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. I actually looked at the C4 at Cedars in Pasadena last week. It was beat to hell and sales guy was classic sleazeball. Take a look at theie yelp reviews. Stay far away from that one.
Anyone know anything about this one? I texted back and forth with him and he says he used to be a member. Pretty nice looking 996. He said IMS has not been done but has owned it the last 5 years and has all the paperwork on it.

This is what you are looking for.
And this! County911 is awesome to do business with in my experience.
Remember, buying a 12+ yo German sports car is a risky endeavor no matter what. All you are trying to do is the due diligence to
attempt
to reduce your risk as much as possible.
Thanks for the suggestions. Ultimately I have found that I dont have a specific car I am looking for. I just know I want a convertible, 6 speed. I tend to like the black leather, but it's not a deal breaker. The red one I posted above in Illinois is pretty nice looking. The ims bearing not being done scares me. There is also a silver one from a member that I may be interested in as well. I am looking for unique if possible as well. I know, I am all over the place.
Nice one in San Francisco.

And another in OC.

If you're looking for a turnkey 996 convertible with IMS already sorted, I've got a nice one in FL recently put up for sale.

Price is elevated to keep tire kickers away, I'm open to negotiations. I was planning to drive it throughout the winter (best top-down season here) and maybe put it on Bring A Trailer site in spring. But, there's a local coupe I'm also interested in possibly turning into a track car, so I'm open to selling it sooner than later.
I'm an open book, and my engine build and issues sorted along the way are all mentioned in my posts here in the forum. If interested, I encourage you to read up and ask any questions. I have tons of pics of the various things done to the car since I got it. Most recently, I put a SiriusXM tuner into it this past weekend to take more advantage of the Sony head unit's extensive capabilities.
I would be willing to drive it to a dealer or indy of your choice for a PPI, or meet up with another rennlister if you want to arrange something like that...
Used oil analysis came back yesterday.
Hawkfan. I took a look at the C2 cab in Playa Del Rey this morning. Here's the deal.
I met with Darryl at his house in Playa, very nice guy. He has been in the car leasing business for years. The car belongs to a friend of his who lives a couple miles away. An older lady (attorney). The car is not being used as she purchased a Tesla and he offered to list it for her and wade through the typical Craigslist flakes, tire kickers etc. She has owned the car for approx 4 years. Has a book of receipts (in the frunk). Original IMS. Car overall seems very clean. A couple minor surface scratches, but could probably be buffed out. Driver's side rear Bridestone needs to be replaced soon. Getting close to the wear bars. Other 3 are good. She has 295's on the rear. Wheels look like they are at least 10" wide in the back. Wheels look good. He showed me an older photo of one with some curb rash but the owner had it polished out. The front bumper has a lip added. The front lip and bumper has been painted (little overspray on the headlight rubbers). He showed me an old photo of the lip and there was about a 3" area that the paint had chipped and peeled off from scraping on a steep driveway. Repair looks good other than the overspray but it's very very slight. I noticed the hood doesn't quite align on the passenger side. Could be needing a hinge adjustment. I asked him about it and he said the car has never been hit (other than the steep driveway). Said the Carfax was clean. Top looks good. Interior looks clean. She added a DVD screen in dash (not a NAV). I had him start the car up. It was cold. Fired right up and no ticking, knocking or any other weird noises. I have a video of the engine running. If you want to PM me your email or cell# I can send it to you. Aftermarket K&N intake. Otherwise the motor is all stock.
The original owner had installed a primered GT3 style wing on to the deck. Saw a photo. Looked hideous. She had it removed and the mounting holes filled and painted. You'd never know. The deck lid looks like new. One small hairline crack in the pass side tail light lens.
Honestly the car seems to be in very good condition. The owner has no problem if you want to take it to a local indy for a PPI. She's had it listed for 2 months and has gotten a lot of calls but almost all have flaked. I think she'd be open to negotiate as the car is sitting in Darryl's garage and he wants the space back. If I was in the market for a cab I would probably jump on it myself, but I'm looking for a coupe.
Anyway, hope that helps. If you want me to send you the vid clip of the motor running just let me know.
Cheers,
Stu.
Awesome! Thanks for doing that for me. I will take it into consideration. Well above and beyond what I was hoping you would do! Email is [email removed].
I'm also on the hunt for a 996 in the NW. I live in Kent. I'm glad you're looking for cabs because I don't need any competition! I'm looking for a regular C2. There are a bunch of cabs for sale locally on craigslist have you checked them out?
Lol. I'm sure that was the original owner. The lady is the 2nd owner. Usually would be a red flag but I met with the guy for almost an hour. Did not get the feeling there was any shenanigans going on.
I might be able to look at that. I have an appointment to look at a millenium edition on saturday and am hoping to stop by Park Place Ltd to look at an 04 C2, maybe I can fit in another. I'm not sure I have enough posts here to PM yet, try sending me an email and we can talk about specifics. As long as the seller is cool with it I don't think I'd mind looking at another 996.
If you see something in the San Jose bay area, I can help you check out a car too. I looked at a lot before picking mine up, and am pretty mechanically inclined.
Stan23...I know you! Stan knows his way around used motorcycles, cars ect. I had no idea you were one of "us"....996 owners, explains a lot actually :-)
Hawk - same goes for me, I can help look up here... I am up in Auburn, CA but within 30 minutes from everywhere near sacramento basically.

That's a great deal and a beautiful black low miles 996! Wow... and that's the lowest priced coupe I've seen in a while. Wonder if there is anything wrong with it?
yes it is. It comes up in my Craigslist searches all the time as well. It has been for sale for a while. If you want me to go check it out for you PM me.
the great thing about Vegas is everything is 15-30 mins. away. Here is the Craigslist ad: 2003 *Porsche* *911* 🚗 SALE TODAY !!
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ctd/5909717353.html
let me know if you are serious about it and I can go check it out for you!
Hawk
