Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Still on the fence but 996s with the prices from 99s to 03s are looking great! I'm still nervous though about cost up keep as I'm going to school and working but have a healthy income ...... but 30K$ for low miles or 34-36$K for a 50k mile c4s?! hard to resist! also considering a awd C350 2008 MB since it has a warrnty ..... not the same I know argh it's abd when you begin making financial choices emotionally lol

POST 2Original post

I've only purchased lower mileage Porsches and so far they have been very reliable cars. That said ,there are great deals to be had for 996's with higher miles too. I think car condition and repair records are also worthwhile.Flip a coin for a C2 or a C4, you'll have to decide if that's what you want.

POST 3Original post

You can get some good deals and mitigate your risk ... I have found many 99-00 models with recently replaced engines. The replaced engines come with a 2yr unlimited miles warranty per the Porsche tech. I recently saw one for about $27K on Craigslist with 300 miles on the new motor. Hope you find a good deal!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i didnt know that! rebuilt engines have a 2 year warranty?? That would put my concerns to rest
