This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion · Original poster
The AA report says the brade pads will need replacing soon, there's a slight oil leak (possibly the crankshaft) which would definitely need addressing and one of the exhausts is nearing the end of its life.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, A guy who's interested in buying my May 98 996 has had the car inspected by the AA. The car is ocean blue with savannah beige leather. Its a 6 speed manual with electric sunroof, electric seats, climate control, 6 CD etc. The mileage is 35k and it has a full OPSH. I'm asking £31,750. The AA report says the brade pads will need replacing soon, there's a slight oil leak (possibly the crankshaft) which would definitely need addressing and one of the exhausts is nearing the end of its life. The guy is offering £28,750. Anybody with an opinion as to what is a fair price? Cheers! Migration info. Legacy thread was 18321

POST 2Original post

You could get a quote from Porsche regarding the price of those parts and what the leak could be about, and then decide whether the guys offer is a fair price... Migration info. Legacy thread was 18323

POST 3Original post

AA don't have a clue about porsches, get an inspection done by a proper dealer. FWIW, I think you should have asked more anyway, I wouldn't accept his offer. Migration info. Legacy thread was 18340
