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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Maybe a bit strange question but there is a wrecked 2003 c2 offered for parts in my area, I�m pretty sure I would get a good deal if I want something out from it. What would be some essential parts to pick besides engine and transmission? Thanks fellas.

POST 2Original post

I don't know that these are essentials - these are the things I'd pick off a 996 if I had an hour before the wrecker showed up... Wheels, if they're OK; center caps if THEY are at least salvagable Seats, if they're upgraded and no SRS damage Three-spoke wheel, if so equipped and if the airbag didn't pop Aero kit, if there is one and it is intact Headlights (if intact) Taillights (if intact) Gauge cluster HVAC module Radio (and manual for the code) Spare tire kit with tool kit Factory airbox (SOMEONE will want it) If I had another hour: Factory mufflers (cores for a Fister swap) Instrument (gauge) cluster Center console Shifter **** and boot (if in good condition) Leather trim (door pockets, etc.) - if in good condition Window regulators (if things are trashed enough that removing them isn't going to cause butthurt) The front stubs/ABS encoders (for C4 FWD deletes)

The thing about 911's of most every model (996.2 no exception) is that many of them have been produced. That means that parts will continue to be available as cars get parted out. I used to retain spare parts for a rainy day, but at some point you run out of room (not to mention the expenditure of money on stuff you will never use). Now, I just buy parts as I need them. I would just buy what you need now as it is hard to know what you're going to need down the road. Later, when another need arises you get back out on the Internet and find the part then. Gil

Strange you say SOMEONE, will want the factory air box as of it's a non desirable item , the factory air box is better than any aftermarket crap you fancy buying my friend !!

People pay hundreds of bucks for aftermarket units - I've been one of 'em. No scorn was implied by the caps - I've been that someone before. I wonder what inferences italicized italics will elicit?

POST 7Original post

All of it. Every single piece will sell eventually. May be a bit harder for you with your location, but if you have a place to store the parts, you will be able to sell everything.
