I installed a double din head unit, but I kept the CDR23, the CD holder, and the lower storage bin.

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.

This is the same one that was posted last week by DCP and then taken down.
He has asked me to part it out for him so here it is.
The engine and trans are in great condition 57,250 miles with an IMS upgrade bearing replaced at 41,855 so there are no worries there. This is an immaculate 996 that was always garaged and very well taken care of.
The damage of the car actually happened when no one was in the car, so no Porsche owners were harmed.
The car suffered mostly cosmetic damage to roof A,B,and C pillars, and the Rt rear quarter panel and engine deck lid.
Asking $10,000 for 3.6 liter engine, plus shipping,and fees.
Asking $4000. for 2003 6 speed trans, which does have some improved parts internal from Porsche over the earlier model cars.
Many other great parts available. Litronic headlights, heated seat full leather interior, brake calipers, and much more.
Please PM me here, I will be listing items here and some on Ebay.
I'll be downloading video's of car running and driving, and plan on leaving both engine and trans in car so if eng / trans buyer wants to see it run in person they are able to.
I also have access to lifts as needed if you are in Houston and want to see on lift or go for a ride up and down street.
Lots of other items to remove in the meantime anyway.
PM with questions,
Thank you,

Very light bump from a vehicle while on frwy in traffic and while owner was out of car(996) exchanging info with driver of little rear bump, larger truck either lost control or didn't see him parked on shoulder of frwy and hit the car thus totaling it.
Salvage value was purchased and now car is being parted out.
FYI, it's a little dusty inside but I plan on removing interior later today I then I can take better pics if these are not clear enough for you.
I will also be able to make sure the rt seat is undamaged and the condition of the headliner.
The truck hit the car in March. It took me this long to settle with the company that owned the truck. The car has been sitting on my trailer at an inside storage facility that is pretty dusty. I moved the car on and off my trailer one or twice a month.
Hi Viking!
I'd be interested in the exterior plastic panel that runs the length of the car at the base of the windshield. The windshield wiper arms come up through it. Also the plastic trim pieces that attach to the bumper just under the headlights. Just looking to refresh those pieces on the old race car.
I'm interested in the leather shroud that goes over the gauge cluster, the plastic horseshoe on the center console (with our without all the switches attached), and the headlights. Are they still available? If so please PM me with your contact info as I just registered and can't send PMs yet. Thanks
If the engine is still available I'll probably buy it... Pretty bad when we have to buy a running engine to be used as a core, because all the others are blown up so badly!

Jake: Thank you for your interest. I am speaking now with someone interested in the engine. I need to give him a couple of days to decide. I will contact you if he decides not to buy it.
Everyone: Viking is going to be unable to respond to inquiries for a few weeks. I will ask him to respond when he can get back to this task.
is the car still more or less in one piece? interested in the dashboard with the glovebox included. maybe some more fresher pics etc?
also interested in the driveshafts/pedals/shifter+cables/clutch cylinders.
I am interested in your engine if not sold
looking to put it in a boxster 2005 . Do you know if that could be done easy??
I am looking to buy a low miles boxster with a dead engine locally
Thanks in advance
I would quit running the engine without the airbox/filter. Especially the spinning through rocks, dust, etc. Just not a good idea because its very easy to get something sucked in their. (low pressure area at rear)
Both of the Rennlist users who expressed an interest in buying the engine found other engines before I could get access to my car (long story). The bottom line, however, is that I now have the car in my possession and the engine remains available.

I'm looking for the the front cap on the driver's side seat rail - the one closest to the door as shown in pic. Also looking for silver frunk handle if yours is in mint condition - will need pics. Please PM me if you have either of these parts.
Dayle, I'm still interested in the engine, but probably won't be making a decision for another week. Hopefully the engine is still available then, but I know these engines go fast!
