Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

The fairest way to both is to get the seller to get it repaired (obviously not at an OPC) and when that figure is known end up paying the seller the rest.

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all I placed an offer on a manual 996 which has a couple of issues. The one of most concern is the roof only raises from the button on one side and has to be pulled up manually to assist. It closes on the Button OK. Without knowing the exact issue ive asked for a reduction in the selling price to cover likely repairs. I have limited idea on repair costs but expect 4 figures. Do you think this is a fair assessment of likely repair costs? I want to be fair with the seller and protect my own interests.

The fairest way to both is to get the seller to get it repaired (obviously not at an OPC) and when that figure is known end up paying the seller the rest. Doing it any other way is a complete gamble for both.
