Used Porsches with needs quickly can become money pits,
Leading evidence: 'Use porsches' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run other way' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

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.

Found 2000 C2 automatic with 140K for $7,000 three hours from me. It's had 3 owners and the exterior looks pretty good, but the interior is trashed. It's showing the following codes:
P0300 Misfire Detected
P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire
P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire
P0130 02 Cirquit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0140 02 Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0150 02 Cirquit (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
P0160 Oxygen Sensor After TWC, (Bank 1 Open Circuit)
P0740 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit
A mechanic friend said he'd seen similar issues with grounding issues or a misaligned cam phaser.
The seller is three hours away. before sending for PPI, I was thinking of at least having him take a video of the engine running and have him show the two tailpipes (looking for soot) and also listening for a ticking sound. Any other thoughts or recommendations.
Thx
How mechanically adept are you? There is no such thing as a cheap Porsche.
If you plan on hiring the work done it can get expensive..fast
How trashed is the interior? Can you live with it or will you redo it?
Unless you want a project I would walk. If you do want a project, sounds like a $4-$5k car.
Tips aren't particularly desirable,
This 7k porsche could turn into a 27k porsche real quick. I would proceed with extreme caution, the only way I would consider this is if I had someone scope the cylinders.
I'm mechanically inclined, but don't want to undertake an M96 rebuild, nor do I want to spend thousands on a red Tip (I don't care for the color or the slushbox). I'm well aware of how expensive paying someone to work on them is and the parts. But I do enjoy fixing things and restoring them. If this is a serious mechanical issue I woudl steer cleer, but if it's just electrical gremlins and replacing and interior I'm up for it.
Thx
Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I guess I'm always looking for a needle in the haystack. I love the hunt and restoring things. I guess I'll leave that itch to be scratched by a 914 project.
If you are pretty good at turning a wrench and since it is only 3 hr away. Why not jut got a have a look at it? If all you know is fixing basic stuff then look for another car. I am willing to bet that the other owner/s have spend money on it and know exactly what is wrong with it. for under $5K this could be a good deal but only if you can do all the work yourself.
I would be interested in it, if it were less than 1/2 that price.
If I couldn’t easily fix it, I’d part it out, or sell it to a dismantler.
I’d buy a car with issues for $4-7K, but only
ONE
issue from the list below:
Body
Interior
Engine
Transmission
If it has issues from 2 or more, it’s worth a LOT less.
