Hi, Have owned many PORKERS, my current being a 1996 993 Targa Tip S, this is a high mileage car of which I have had no problems and done about 15K miles in the last year. Have been looking at a 1999 Model with 68K miles on the clock, owned by PORSCHE Cars GB plus one owner and its from an indepedant with whom I have purchased 2 previous models. Its a C4 Tip S, with huge spec, full leather, PSM, Memory Seats, 18" rims, etc. etc. Any advice please ? Thanks Mark

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.

There was a thread which I started some months ago about problems with high milage 996's. Have a search...
68k miles is not high , Porsche Cars GB usually spec their cars right up, I had one ( 996C2 tip )in '99, still got it, daily driver, too good to part with. If price is right and full history, go for it.
Sounds nice..... Just put a proper gearbox in and it would be perfect[ ][ ]
Thanks for the replies. Decided to go for it, and collect her in 2 weeks as it wants full service, and a few minor bits attending to. Signed my life away...... heh but its worth it !! Mark
