Kinda pricey for what they are but much cheaper than replacing the whole unit.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

15 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

Hello everyone, I have been lurking for awhile, looking for a car. Found a 996 in a garage, and bought it for C$8,000 (US$5,900). All the records are with the car. It is a 1999 C2 Cab (113,000 miles). Body is in great shape and the records show the IMS has been done. Seems like a steal. Will post pics and a lot of questions. Looking forward to this journey.

POST 2Original post

WTF!? You can hardly buy one with a blown engine for that price! Whats the story?

POST 3Original post

Welcome !! WOW , nice pick !! You definitely stole that one. Pics or it ain't so........

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Will do, I will get the car on Thursday, need headlights as the lenses are burnt. I will post some pics then.

POST 5Original post

Congratulations and welcome! And yeah, fantastic price! Definitely post pics. This link may help with your burnt lenses: http://www.sierramadrecollection.com/Headlight-Lens-Set-986-996-99-05-p32132.htm Kinda pricey for what they are but much cheaper than replacing the whole unit.

POST 6Original post

Did you have to wire the money to Nigeria, and the car will be shipped? Seems like a fantastic deal, almost too good to be true. Congrats man!

POST 7Original post

I'm not Sherlock Holmes, but this line may be a clue to a mystery. Here are the clues: " I have been lurking for awhile, looking for a car. Found a 996 in a garage " - He wants people to find him! Then, the other clue is, " Seems like a steal " - This line that is usually fed to the press in order to toy with authorities. The last clue is hidden in his avatar name AftOf245 which is actually an anagram for - " near a plane " - This is where the exchange happened. " All the records are with the car " - You think he's in the music business? " Body is in great shape " - this denotes that someone may have died in this exchange. Oh yes, exactly. This is not about an actual car. The person went by the name of "996" and something went down and there was a price on this person's head. These are obvious clues where the killer wants to lead us to the body "that's in good shape". The numbers listed in the price and odometer readings are actually GPS coordinates that lead us to a location in Canada. Latitude N: 80 - 0 - 5 Longitude W: 90 - 11 - 30 Sounds the alarm!!!! yes, I'm kidding folks!

POST 11Original post

If it really happened, then my bottom-feeder hat is doffed. You have bested my best, and picked the meat off the bones, and sucked out the marrow of the market. I would say that approaches or possibly exceeds my $8000 running 928GT buy last month.

POST 12Original post

Must be lonely and cold in CA Fake news After he picks it up IMSB failure story will appear. Jake will get more free advertising for 51 modes of failure book and more P car owners will hate 996s People actually get paid to blog this crap Nice

POST 13Original post

congrats! please share your journey, there are a lot that will help you ensure you get to enjoy it for a long long time!

POST 14Original post

Welcome to the madness! There has to be more to this story...When and why was the IMSB replaced?

POST 15Original post

There has to be more to this story. I'm in to find out the details.
