The good news is another friend of mine owns a car repair shop and has worked on all the Porsche's I have owned since 1987.

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

A friend of mine can no longer drive it (or anything else, frankly) and it has been sitting for three years with zero preventive maintenance. It is garaged with just over 50k on it. Some scrapes and dings, top jams and the spoiler doesn't work. He is basically giving it to me: He is my son's Godfather, very wealthy and in declining health. I have been Driving Mir. Daisy around for years for Dr's appointments, shopping, etc. His health is a mess. Anyway, I am still in the process of getting smart on the car. I found this link: https://www.topspeed.com/cars/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-porsche-997-and-all-its-versions-ar195098.html Any other sources would be greatly appreciated. The good news is another friend of mine owns a car repair shop and has worked on all the Porsche's I have owned since 1987. He owes me $2500 in trade work and he will get it first after I bring it here to clean up. I will not try and start it, etc. If it proves to be more than I want to deal with, I will sell it and give the proceeds to my friend minus any investment I make. Again, any advice is greatly appreciated. My last 911 was a 1994 964 Targa I wish I still had.

POST 2Original post

If it hasn't been started in three years, then for the love of God, don't try starting it now (as you said). Get the tow hook out and have it towed to your repair shop. It is going to need all the fluids drained and replaced. Let them do it. If the top is jammed, you may have to take it to the Porsche dealer. A lot of mechanics won't touch a Cab top. If your shop will do it, go ahead and let them. If you have to take the top to the dealer, you are looking at at least $3K. Ask me how I know. The spoiler motor is easy to replace and your mechanic can do it.
