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.

So I bought a 2000 porsche 911 coupe 6 speed 80,000 miles 1 owner drove really good clean title. Service records it's an early build date 2/99. I got it for $14,600. Only thing I seen was it had an airbag light on not from an accident most likely a sensor. So what are your thoughts?
$14.6k sounds like a good price but you already know something needs to be fixed. That probably won't be the end of it but hopefully whatever else is needed will be minor.
FWIW, I bought my 2000 C4 Cab for $15k w/90k miles. Did not do a PPI; never do. No major issues discovered yet. Never been trulyl "burned" by not doing a PPI on the roughly 100 cars/trucks/motorcycles that I've bought in my life.
Spent about another $4k on "necessary" (minor) repairs to completely sort it out PLUS another $6k on other things (mostly discretionary, some not).
Sounds about right, I just bought a 01 with 11k miles for 20k from a buddy who bought it 2 yrs ago for 30k and put about 6k in it. He stepped up to a newer model and dealer offered 20 so I took it instead. 2 months ago I sold my original owner c4s cab and thought I was done for a while but......
Ask me the same question a year from now.
Seriously, it seems like you got a steal of deal provided you took our advice on the last thread regarding a pre-purchase inspection. Maybe you didn't do it? At this point, you bought it and so it's a moot point. Just make sure you go over the car's mechanicals with a fine tooth comb before putting some serious miles on it. Lots of people would say, "Just go out and drive it like you stole it". Well, we all know now you basically stole it, but just be smart and examine the health of the engine and remedy areas that need attention preventively. Congratulations on the getting the car!
