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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yesterday flew down to Virginia to pick up an 02 996, 32000 mile, arctic silver, black interior, absolutely beautiful condition. Previous owner was, lets say, a bit **** about the car. Barely drove it (that was my biggest worry about the car), but took very good care of it. He wasnt sure if the windshield/headlight washer worked because he never wanted to use that, never drove it in rain or bad weather. Im planning on driving the $@&& out of this car! Had a nice 450 mile initial drive home to North .NJ yesterday. Awesome ride! Just wanted to thank all on Rennlist for the advice - i read through a lot of existing posts, and also got some great replies to a few question i posted before making the purchase. I'm feeling great about my new car. I know, I know, pics needed or it doesnt exist. I'll snap a couple today and then will figure out how to attach them.

POST 2Original post

Awesome purchase for you. Welcome to Rennlist. Seems that so many Porsche owners would rather polis than drive.

POST 5Original post

*******Hologram****** need pix. Welcome congrats, enjoy the miles and smiles

POST 6Original post

Welcome, your 996 sounds like a real beauty. Still a fantasy until pics are produced.

POST 9Original post

Hey and welcome to the board. We are some of the nicest folks around and enjoy the hell out of our cars. Don't baby your ride at all....follow common sense things and have fun. I personally like driving in the rain as the car handles great!

POST 11Original post

Welcome! nice start - get some pics up so we can all see her did you go out and "check" on it a few times last night

POST 12Original post

Congratulations and welcome! Sounds like a great car.

POST 13Original post

Sounds like a good car. Hope you enjoy it and your only drama is corner entry on track days.

POST 14Original post

Don't understand the guys who buy such a machine than never drive 'em. Are they saving it for the next guy? Hey... you're the next guy. Drive the **** out of it!

POST 16Original post

Sounds like a nice car. Taking a nice long drive home is a great way to learn your new Porsche. Enjoy, and yes please provide pictures.

Quotes source post: 10074408

I'd prefer not to have a car that's pissless. But regular use prolongs the car. It is just a car, so using it is better than not.

POST 36Original post

Yeeeeeah, well like the guys said, we' re going need some pics and we're gonna need you to go ahead and fill out those TPS reports. You Tube Oh and you might wanna show up at some of our Rennlist runs, very active group in North Jersey, I can't keep up with all the events!
