I wasn't really planning on getting another 996, I had a 99 arctic silver 8-9 years ago but I was browsing a lot for 997 and potentially a turbo when I came across this car and figured I'd give it a go. It's a 2003 with X50 and factory Aero Kit and full leather interior. 3 owner car, second owner had the car for around 100k miles and used it to commute here in social so added a bunch of highway miles. third owner is the ower of the mechanic shop that serviced it since 2009 (I have records going back to then) and had it for a few years and put 28k into it with new suspension, new radiators (all 3), new clutch and lots of other things. Paid 40k for it. It has high miles, paint is fading on the driver side from harsh California sun, but the interior is in great shape! Looks like a car with a lot less miles inside and it's all original. Those highway miles didn't add much wear and tear on the interior. How did I do?

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.
