I also replaced the muffler, but there is still an exhaust leak, and its somewhat loud.

Simply put, the car looks like a million bucks (has been repainted by the way), but needs the exhaust sorted, the top replaced, and new tires and an alignment (havent gotten around to since replacing the exhaust).

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.

1 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

So, I want to offer this to my fellow rennlisters before putting on Ebay. I imagine this may be the cheapest running 996 in America. So black 1999 C2 with factory aero, tiptronic. 173k miles (I may be wrong I'll check later). Runs and drives. A/C is perfect, radio (stock) is good. The seats with Porsche emblem were redone in the centers and look perfect. Has turbo twist wheels. When I purchased the car, it had a completely fogged over plastic rear window. I ordered the zipper replacement from guy on Ebay. Long story short, that was a disaster. During the whole process, the top stopped operating. Completely. Its not the fluid level, fuse, etc. Im 98% certain its either the trunk or engine lid sensor, but who knows. So currently the top is down, and I've got the hard top on. The soft top is missing the window, and would need to be replaced. When I bought the car, the suspension was terrible. Bouncy, vibrations, the whole nine yards. So I purchased suspension from car with 29k miles, installed, and car is right as rain. I also replaced the muffler, but there is still an exhaust leak, and its somewhat loud. The car also has a delay when shifting into 5th. Doesnt do it all the time, but it does happen. Shifts fine in manual mode. The tranny mount needs to be replaced as it vibrates and clunks a bit. Per a verbal conversation, the car also had intermix, and the head was replaced. The trim pieces that look like mahogany wood all need replaced. Otherwise, the interior is excellent. Simply put, the car looks like a million bucks (has been repainted by the way), but needs the exhaust sorted, the top replaced, and new tires and an alignment (havent gotten around to since replacing the exhaust). Price? $10k. Firm. If theres interest, I'll post pictures later. Located outside Nashville TN. The carfax is clean. Title clean. Etc. Definitely a project car, but the best looking project car you've ever seen
